Tales of love, joy, death and lust put to the rhythms of Tabla (Nick Smith) and groove-y melodies by noted electric rock harpist Mia Theodoratus (www.harpgrrl.com).
Bio / Background
Songs about broken hearts, soaring love, and a tragic future comprise DreamTal's
First CD Joy for the Climb. Nick Smith's tabla playing brings driving North Indian Classical rhythms with their combination of melody and groove. The other side of the coin is Mia Theodoratus' wild rhythmic harp playing. She varies songs and borrows heavily from Latin rhythms, Berio riffs, classical romantic melody and a bit of chaos thrown in for good measure. The Les Paul and Mary Ford record in the Frantone Electronics jukebox inspires the Vaya Con Dios cover. Instead of guitar, Mia uses driving Latin harp technique to make you feel like you really miss your lost love South of the Border. The other cover is the classic Syd Barret tune "Bike"-but done in 10 with a North Indian scale pattern. The legendary Peter Principal from Tuxedo Moon produced the track and adds effects coming in and out of the mix.
Dr. Z adds funky bass on all tracks.
