Online Folk art forms all over the world reveal startling similarities in their nature-inspired knowledge of the world, and god. This album comes from the Celtic world, where fairies and elves work their magic on mundane things David Davidson is proud of his Celtic origins. He is Scot-Irish. The Irish rebelled against authority, the king and the church by wandering away in their imagination to a land where fairies and elves worked their magic on mundane things.
Celtic music inspires many composers.
If you listen to U2 carefully, you will find inflexions of this music. The Corrs, another Irish group, use the violin played in a folksy style. A R Rahman often forages into Celtic music, as in Pachai nirame from the film Alai Payuthe . And this CD springs from such a world. The violin by David Davidson is poignant, sharp and liquid.
