Âtayôhkan by Ed Peekeekoot
Âtayôhkan - Ancient ones who completed their Earth lessons and work with the Creator.
This album was recorded with instruments made locally, from mostly local wood, in the Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island. Ed's Flutes were carved by Rommy Verlaan (www.heartsongflutes.ca). Corbin's cello was built by Rommy's partner, Zak Stolk (www.zakviolins.com), and Corbin's cello bow was made by Reid Hudson (www.reidhudson.com).
We are very proud to present music which is, on every level, born of this sacred land.
-Ed and Corbin-
