35th Parallel

"Snaky ribbons of sound wind through the steady pulse of a hand drum, conjuring visions of bustling open-air markets and dusty, weathered faces. Harmony structures alien to the Western ear build, then fade away like a desert mirage. Listening to 35th Parallel, it's hard to imagine you're still in this hemisphere, much less the Yankee Northeast.
Mac Ritchey and Gabe Halberg call it a MediterrAsian journey - an exotic soundscape...."
from "A Lot of Latitude" by Casey Rea

String instrumentalist Ritchey, 33, and percussion whiz Halberg, 31, have been traveling the winding paths of Middle Eastern, Indian and North African music for more than three years. The sound these two create will take you on an exotic journey you won't easily forget. Simple Gifts is more than pleased to present this experience in their wonderful listening environment.
