Harry Manx - 'Om Suite Ohm'
I began working on this CD in Wisconsin in the late fall of 2011. I teamed up with composer/producer Hans Christian (has worked with Daniel Lanois, and was bassist on Robbie Robertsons' first solo CD). We co-wrote many instrumental songs, four of which made it on to this CD. Later on I wrote lyrics for two of these songs ( 'The Moon Rose Up' and 'All Fall Down').
I then went to Australia and co-wrote two songs with African inspired musician Yeshe. We created two instrumental pieces based on African grooves. I then wrote the words for them which became 'Saya' and 'Further Shore.'
I met up with Australian Didjeridoo player Ganga Giri (played with Peter Gabriel) We jammed on a tune of mine titled "Way Out Back". It was inspired by the great Australian landscape.
Ganga was born in Port Fairy, Australia. His musical journey began as a child when he started playing kit drums at age 8. Inspired by a dream, he followed his calling and began to play didjeridu the very next day. It has been a natural progression for Ganga to create a new contemporary sound by mixing funky rhythms through the didj-- especially since the sound he was after wasn’t available on the market. Influenced by many varied genres, including East Indian Tabla and African percussion, he has married indigenous Australian and world music with fat funky dance beats-- and has found an appreciative audience across the globe.
Ganga Giri has gained the respect of Aboriginal didgeridu (yidaki) players for his unique approach to didgeridu playing. Deeply inspired by the sacredness of Australia’s land and how that feeling can be expressed through the didjeridu, he has become an ambassador for his country, offering his world-wide audience a reflection of contemporary multicultural Australia.
