info 

With this album Michiel van der Meulen pays homage to a continent and three of its inhabitants. To Europe because it is such a great place, where travelling a thousand kilometres in any direction will bring you into another world. Where West and East meet and blend and beautiful things happen. To his father Albert van der Meulen (1940), for the thorough infusion with music from the Balkans, the closest he could get to his own oriental roots in Europe. To ethnomusicologist and musician Wouter Swets (1930-2016), who introduced music from the Balkans and the Middle East to Dutch audiences and educated two generations of musicians in these styles. To master musician and composer Ross Daly (1950), with whom he studied modal composition, who showed Michiel the modal fabric of the music he was born with but not born into, and helped him find his musical voice.
