A modern interpretation of Native American music with some modern influences. There's no NA category here, so I put it in New Age.

I'm Ziggy Plato, a.k.a. Thomas Howard. One guy. I recorded some of my songs at home on my stereo. No professional recording equipment was used. I play a copy of a Les Paul and an old (late 80's) Ensoniq SQ80 synth/sequencer and occasionally a few other things. I've recently been dabbling a bit with loop software. I put myself in the rock/progressive rock genre, but my music is really in many different genres.

Story behind the song
My ex wife, who is into all things native American, suggested that my son and I work together on some "Indian" music. I ended up doing it by myself. I borrowed an acoustic guitar with the nylon strings that gives it a sort of southwestern sound. I spelled "skyes" wrong so people would pronounce it right. The flute sound is common in native American music and I realize that parts of it are almost cliche. The low hum of the synthesizer represents the earths energy, and the higher sounds depict the wind and the sky and majestic eagles and hawks. The hypnotic percussion depicts the disciplined spirituality of the people.
