Guardian from Branching Out by Stephen Cumberworth

A mysterious figure, adaptable and cunning, he is the protector of these arid lands. He will help to guide the way.

This is a newly expanded and improved version of the titular track from my 2012 album, "Guardian."

Featuring:
• Native American style bass flute in E (transposed), redwood, made by Geoffrey Ellis.
• Native American style branch flute in F, eastern red cedar, made by Dale Robertson.
• Drum.

Stephen specializes in taking an unorthodox approach to the Native American flute and other world flutes, blending traditional sounds with jazz, folk, and symphonic flavors. He also has talents with vocals, harmonica, and percussion.
