Search - Tim Rayborn :: The Path Beyond

The music on this recording comes from many regions that historically had contact with the Arabic and Islamic world, and were often Muslim themselves, especially during the medieval and Ottoman periods. Virtuoso multi-instrumentalist Tim Rayborn performs exquisitely beautiful music from medieval Spain, North Africa, Turkey, Iran, and the Balkans. Several songs are traditonal pieces, while others are original compositions and improvisations that reflect the spirit of that same ancient heritage. Several songs were improvised on single instruments during the recording process. Others were overdubbed to create an ensemble sound.
