Listen to samples from FROM THE WINDOW OF A TRAIN
FROM THE WINDOW OF A TRAIN is a roadmap of years on the road in America and Asia, years of living with traditional peoples, years of picking up diverse musical ideas and instruments and weaving them together into an experimental whole. These compositions include acoustic guitar, percussion, banjo, bamboo flutes, harmonicas, jews harps, tonkori (an instrument from the Ainu tribe of Hokkaido, Japan), and electric guitar feedback. The album ends with a live version of “Industrial Love” from the Sugar Factory performance art venue in Dulan Village, on the Pacific coast of Taiwan.
