about

This is an arrangement for Tonkori Kalimba and Hohner Guitaret of the Ainu dance piece "Retahcikah Haw", the calling swans. The swans in question are the Whooper Swans, which I was lucky to find recordings of on Freesound.

Ivodne Galatea Nedlands, Australia

Principally playing original compositions of an ambient nature on the Hohner Guitaret as well as other thumb pianos/finger harps/lamellophones.
