about

The India-Appalachia Railway (7:22)

Appalachian dulcimer, bowed device, floor tom, snare, tambourine

A few titles on the album are based on surrealist or dada concepts; this is probably the main one. The music contains elements of both cultures- an American folk instrument used with Indian modality and rhythm. And there’s a chugging rhythm too. But there’s this air of the impossible to the piece, so I wanted to suggest all that with the title, which is something that would never exist- not in this reality, anyway.

I put "The India-Appalachia Railway" here in the running order because it's a hybrid of bowed-device and dulcimer pieces, and these are elements which occur strongly in both halves of the album. It's the most obvious case of that. The midway point of the album actually occurs during this piece.
