The songs presented here are made using thumb piano, also known as: kalimba, mbira, sansa, likembe, etc. No samples from other sources are included in these tracks but there is some computer manipulation involved. The approach is a combination of conceptual and emotional; influences are wide ranging with strong inspiration from Jazz and African music.
