Highly recommended! We've got in "An Air Swept Clean of All Distance," the 2021 work by free music performer/harpist RHODRI DAVIES, who began his career in the '90s and has performed alongside ELIANE RADIGUE, MARK FELL, and Otomo Yoshihide. Here he traces the connections running between the world's traditional musics — East Asian, Celtic, West African and more — binding them together through the tone of the harp.

Alongside the above, four works from the "Pedlar" box set by veteran improviser/harpist RHODRI DAVIES — who has performed and recorded with such notable artists as JOHN BUTCHER, PHILL NIBLOCK, and DEREK BAILEY — are released all at once!! This one presents recordings made in 2014 at "Blank Studios" in Newcastle. Leaning heavily on arpeggiated playing, it captures a pleasing flex shared across various folk musics of the world! A beautiful work adopting nostalgic scales far removed from Western tuning, spanning from Asia to Africa. (Original Japanese text by Akie)
