Music For The Gods
The Fahnestock South Sea
Expediton: Indonesia
The second release in Mickey Hart's Endangered Music Project captures the shimmering music of Indonesia as it existed in 1941, when the Fahnestock brothers set sail to record the indigenous musics of Bali, Java, Madura and Arjasa with state-of-the-art Presto disc-cutters. This collection is an extraordinary achievement in the restoration of deteriorating cellulose-acetate discs, and in the preservation of the elegant and haunting cultural traditions of the Indonesian archipelago prior to its westernization in WWII. This release includes some of the earliest recordings of these peices. The collection of discs was transferred to digital format and electronically cleaned by Sonic Solutions for this release.
