| Songlines is primarily a jazz label, but world music influences have often been a part of the music we produce, and every once in a while a local, purely world music project comes along that we just have to do. In fact Vancouver, with its great variety of immigrant and ethnic communities from Asia, Europe, Africa and Latin America, is a hotbed of world music activity, including many examples of cross-cultural music-making. Michael O’Neill is a classically trained composer and pianist who was drawn as a youth to the highland pipes and has been playing them ever since. Michael has also been involved since the ‘80s in composing and performing works for Javanese and Balinese gamelan – his “Lessons of the Garden” was featured on the 2004 Songlines release New Nectar by Vancouver’s Gamelan Madu Sari. And since 1995 he has been collaborating as a piper with the contemporary taiko group Uzume Taiko. |
