Dušan Bogdanović’s inspiration behind this project came from writing a compilation of world music pieces for his young son, but after hearing the duo of Antigoni Goni and Eleonora Perretta perform he greatly expanded the idea.
This programme explores traditions between East and West, highlighting the Balkan region’s modal harmonies and asymmetric rhythms in _Makedonsko Devojče_ . Music from the Far East is presented in its own cultural context, with _Balinese Dance_ inspired by the interlocking rhythms of Balinese rice-pounding (nebuk padi). The album also features two Western classical transcriptions, including Chopin’s _Maiden’s Wish_ from Polish Songs, Op. 74.
