Poia's Gift by PaulAlone (Paul Evans)
Solo improvised flute
Inspired by the traditions of:

PaulAlone (aka Paul Evans) is an experienced multi-instrumentalist specializing in improvised music.

A writer as well, Paul breaths poetry into whatever instrument he touches.

In Arizona he worked as a staff composer and accompanist for ASU's dance department and professional theaters companies.

with Special Guests Ryan Francesconi and Mirabi Peart
Balkan-bluegrass
Ryan Francesconi and Mirabai Peart discovered their musical connection through a shared interest in Balkan music while touring with Joanna Newsom. "Road to Palios", an album of mostly duets, follows as an expansion from Ryan's first solo guitar album "Parables", taking in more energetic moments and complex counterpoint between Mirabai's violin and Ryan's guitar. While the music is composed and arranged by Ryan, the imprint of its Greek and Turkish foundation is clearly audible. Much of the inspiration for this record is drawn from a trip that Ryan and Mira took to the Greek island of Lesvos in late 2010.
Ryan Francesconi is a composer, guitarist, balkan musician, and cyclist living in Portland, Oregon. He has formal training in everything from Balinese gamelan to computer science and has studied tambura, kaval and audio DSP programming on top of holding degrees in guitar (BFA) and composition (MFA).
