Phantoms by Hans Christian Hans Christian : Phantoms.
New age meets indian cello.


Hans Christian's first journey into his imaginary music realm. Phantoms is rich with musical imagery, passion, and unusual instrumentation. A mixture of classical, rock, and world music. Originally released in 1993, remastered in 2003, it is rich in ethnic, pop, and neo-classical ingredients, with the cello soaring through a colorful tapestry of rhythms and melodies. Passionate intensity is the driving force behind this stunningly beautiful and rich music. It clearly penetrates deeply into life and is unafraid to explore the full breadth of existence - including the shadow side, without which we would be unable to know the light. Cello is often the lead instrument, along with a full regalia of exotic instrumentation, including electric basses, electric and acoustic guitars, keyboards, sound effects, vocals, percussion, didjeridoo, tablas and frame drums. Rhythmic, experimental and innovative, this is supreme music for the daring and the deeply caring and offers a welcome relief from canned music of all varieties.
