The Path Beyond              

This is Tim Rayborn's first release, The Path Beyond.

Tim Rayborn is Solace's first signed artist. From the bio on Solace's site: Though raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, Tim Rayborn lived for nearly seven years in England, where he completed a Ph.D. at the University of Leeds, and worked in the fields of early and world music. He founded and directed Ensemble Florata, whose recordings for ASV/Gaudeamus received international critical acclaim. In addition, he worked with the noted British medieval ensemble Tintagel, and performed with them on BBC broadcasts, Belgian live radio, in Majorca, as well as a tour of the Pacific Northwest in the U.S. Tim has toured the UK and continental Europe extensively, and worked with traditional musicians in Marrakech and Istanbul. He plays nearly 40 musical instruments from Europe, the Middle East, and Central Asia.

Tim is currently an instrumentalist with Ya Elah (a women's Jewish vocal group), directs his own medieval music ensemble, Caladrius, and is the musical director of Shuvani, a music and dance group tracing the Roma ("gypsy") trail from Rajasthan to Spain. He recently released two new solo recordings: Chordae - medieval harp music, and Ashek - Balkan, Middle Eastern, and Indian music. He is also working on several new CDs this year, including an album of Shuvani's music, and a recording of Balkan, medieval, and Scandinavian music.

This CD features Jewish, Christian and Islamic Music from Medieval Spain, North Africa, Turkey, Iran and the Balkans.

Tim plays the 'ud, medieval harp, saz, kaval, psaltery, qanun, sehtar, tar, riqq, doumbek, zarb, naqqarat and voice are all featured on this great CD!

The following is taken directly from Solace's website:

     A vision of whirling dervishes engulfs the listener in a ceremony of music and dance, leaving the mundane path of everyday life to travel the mystic path. These songs are of historical and traditional origin as well as improvisations or compositions that reflect the spirit of the Sufi’s ancient heritage. Some of the original pieces were composed or arranged prior to the recording, while others were created 'on the spot'; capturing true improvisations in the moment that they were created, a technique that Tim has always enjoyed using while recording. Tim hopes that these songs will convey the sense of richness and wonder of the cultures that produced or inspired them.
