about

"The music on 2009 Aubade is epic psych folk, heavy on acoustic guitar, with some hummings, bells, light drumming and piano sparkling. Reminds a bit on Krautrock improv-sessions but even if they develop slowly, they never lose track. Babel is a great track, anyway - the whole album is worth to listen." ~ Dying For Bad Music

2009. CD comes with DVD of short Moonwood films. See www.arachnidiscs.wordpress.com for availability. Hand stamped discs, lino-cut print covers.

Track Name: Chovihanis
Gypsies/Roma believes that within their own there are certain ones who posses’ great power through the ability to perform magic with their special range of knowledge. Such people known in the Gaje, or white man’s world, are usually called witches, warlocks or wizards but within the Roma/Gypsy society they are known as chovihanis.

Among the chovihani there are four favorites for fortune telling (or dukkerin`): palm reading, tea leaves, the crystal, and cards. These methods are of a “practical” nature and do not take anything complex or expensive to utilize.

Surprisingly, the Roma/Gypsy usually does not consult a chovihani or anyone else for past, present or future knowledge. Nor are the chovihanis held in high esteem because of their gifts; rather it is the money brought in by their gifts that gives them a place of honor within the society.
