Blue Desert

by Jono Heyes

supported by

Arina extraordinary blend of acoustic trance, noir, jazz, desert folk and world music. The genre is hard to define but it is definitely Music with capital M

Solic this release is a definition of pure magic in music. Don't know what's the secret - the story or unique instruments or the genius of musicians but this album sends me somewhere far, very far

Orechnik Nata enigmatic, sensuous and mystical musical journey to the subconscious, feels like touching something ancient and timeless...

Andrew Green Jr almost an out of body experience for me, my advice: just lean back and float on the waves of these beautiful and mystical soundscapes and let them tell you their story...

amazing music Favorite track: Blue Mind.

about

Blue Desert - A magic blue journey to the heart of the blue desert.

Original multi-meter and fractional rhythmic phrases recorded on strange homemade instruments (tinyurl.com/24v3jx4l)

Accompanied with distinct and haunting orchestral motifs, visceral solos, and exquisite micro-tonal vocal skats.

A group of New Zealand and Czech musicians led by project producer Jono Bono Heyes all created and composed drawing inspiration from a fantastic story about a young girl who must deliver her people from a blindness that starts to spread through her idyllic village. The girl is given a quest from an Old Baba to find a remedy in the form of a blue flower that lies at the bottom of a blue lake in the heart of a mysterious blue desert.

Jump on the magic camel and hold on tight.

XI
by Tiny Tree

supported by 47 fans who also own “Blue Desert”

I think what really is cool about Tiny Tree is their approach to playing guitar - something like Grails, but not exactly, more like overall style. That ephemeral buildup, intentionally monotonous at times, undeniable strong vocals. JD Pinkus appears on December, butt (pun intended) I couldn't really notice his input) But the blast in the finishing part of the song is just killer. Recommended Eddie van Helen
