The Confluence of Ways

Between Now and Then

a new project

contemporary and ancient sources in an exploratory journey of sound.

The Confluence of Ways is a group of musicians from around the globe combining their unique musical languages into a collage of textures, where East meets West and where diverse medieval and traditional musical influences meet in a contemporary listening and performance space.

Ambient, Middle Eastern and contemporary ECM jazz influences combine in a synthesis of earth, sky, emotion, beauty, and heartfelt music that is unique and different.
