about

Venus Square Mars
creative music for the deep night

Quiet, relaxing and pensive, these tunes are improvised meditations using only bamboo flutes, ocarinas, oud and percussion, bringing to mind images of a misty black bamboo forrest under a full moon.

"Venus Square Mars" will haunt your spirit, stimulate your mind, and ultimately warm your heart once you surrender to its hermetic powers."

- Mike Ezzo, Exposé Magazine
