Symphonia Panica

This CD deals with archeological finds of ancient musical instruments. The focus lies on Roman pan flutes, several of which have been preserved. These flutes have been reconstructed, and two of them can be heard on the CD: one found in Titz-Ameln, Germany, and one from Eschenz, Switzerland. On their way into our time, the flutes are accompanied by reconstructed lute, harp, reed instruments and percussion instruments.

The tracks are partly original notations from that time, as there had indeed been systems of musical notes in Antiquitiy. The other pieces were delicately composed with respect to the spectrum of aounds of these instruments. The CD was made in cooperation with Kantonsarchäologie Thurgau, Switzerland.
