CD Sunrise

SUNRISE, previously released as “Rainbow Bridge” gives listeners a glimpse into Michael Benghiat’s curiosity and interest in non-western musical instruments and traditions. On SUNRISE, Michael elegantly weaves together his own performance on guitars, Balinese gamelan, piano, keyboards, drums and percussion while eliciting both spontaneity and sophisticated responses from the ensemble musicians including Stephanie Bennett on harp, Brice Martin on flutes and recorders, Hersh Hamel on sitar and tanpura and Sandy Howell performing ethereal, chant like vocals on the track “Reunion”.  63.58 minutes.
