Veils of Light 
This is Tim Rayborn's
third release, Veils of Light.
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
Folklore Dance Music from the Balkans, the Middle East and
Central Asia. Experience more Middle Eastern cultures with these
mostly fast, "danceable" songs! All instrumental, no vocals.

Veils of
Light CD - $18.00
The following is taken directly from Solace's
website:
Dance and music predate civilization, and are deeply rooted in
the innermost core of what it is to be human. Our resonance with
rhythm begins with the mother’s heartbeat; movement and music
seem natural extensions of this, common to all cultures
worldwide. Veils Of Light encompasses these ideas by crossing
the borders of many different cultures, transcending time, and
bringing the birthplaces of these exotic textures to life with
the gentle breath of a flute or the precise hand motion on a
drum. Tim hopes to inspire others to create new dances from his
original and unique compositions that represent the spirit and
flavor of the Balkans, the Middle East, and Central Asia.
