Archives of Anaphoria AOA 2.5

Orenda-For Three Meta-Slendro Vibraphones
Composed by Kraig Grady- 2005
Performed by Erin Barnes, Kraig Grady, and Ellysa Shalla

Recorded and Mastered by Miriam Kolar
Cover Art by Dori Atlantis

“Orenda is both a Huron and Anaphorian word meaning that kind of power that mortals can summon to combat the blind forces of fate.

“While not a composition from Anaphoria, it is one that is informed by the ambient philosophy that blossoms out of the words and sounds of those people.

“The piece starts at an extremely low volume and listeners might be warned not to increase the level on their sound-producing device.”

Limited Edition of 200 in Two Covers of 100 each

This 3” mini-Cd is the second of a series of pieces conceived directly for this medium.
This is the first to appear on the Archives of Anaphoria label, which plans to continue with a series of like works.
