Archetribe
Archetribe fuses influences from all over the world including Armenia, Hungary, Lebanon, Bali and Egypt with modern textures and driving world percussion to create an unusual, yet organic listening experience.
Recording of Earthtones began with the foundation of Jamal Mohamed’s doumbek percussion tracks. Matthew Davidson enlisted the help of flutist Ken Field (Birdsongs of the Mesozoic), bassist Dave DeMarco (Battery Apple), and synthesist Larry Fast (Synergy, Peter Gabriel) to create the bed of textures onto which Gunnard Doboze's haunting duduk tracks are prominently featured.
D'Drum
D' Drum is a five member percussion group from Dallas, Texas. Featured in an Emmy award winning PBS short film that documents their travels and observations as related to World Percussion, the group has performed and recorded extensively.
D'Drum is heard in the National Geographic Film, "Lions of Darkness", in addition to the award winning PBS children's show "Wishbone". The group has recently released their first CD, entitled "Village Beside Time". As in their live performances, the CD features music derived from traditional cultures of Bali, Africa, Persia, and other locales that are blended with the influences of Western Classical and Jazz forms. All of the instruments featured on the CD and in performance are acoustic, and of traditional and contemporary design.
