Album Notes

Instrumentals meet Nature’s Own Music

Celtic and Medieval favorites interpreted instrumentally on four different kinds of bagpipes from different European countries as well as Irish and Baroque flutes driven by Odon’s enigmatic percussion, Piping by the Oaks of Mamre forms the contemplative counterpart to Odon’s upbeat recordings.

Odon’s diverse and vast instrument collection is masterfully paired with nature’s own music. From the bubbling brooks and waterfalls of the scenic Columbia River Gorge in Oregon to the beautiful songs of the Humpback whale the music of creation itself form the beautiful foundation of each song.

Soothing yet energetic tunes carry the listener off to the tranquility of Oregon’s Old Growth forest, the unfathomable depths of the Pacific Ocean, or the abundance of lively sound in a Moroccan street market. 

Piping by the Oaks of Mamre has been enthusiastically adopted into playlists of many an office, massage & yoga studio, Belly Dancing class, and of course Ipods and home sound systems, bringing ancient tunes and nature’s own music into the many different aspects and places of modern civilization.
