Griselda Sanderson - Radial (2015)

Radial is the follow-up to Griselda's first nyckelharpa album Harpaphonics. Whereas the first album explored the unique sounds of this fascinating bowed keyed fiddle through mostly original compositions, Radial takes the instrument back to its roots with interpretations of traditional Swedish polskas and a smattering of new compositions. Griselda pushes the boundaries with some unusual instrumentation including a guest appearance from Moroccan gnawa label mate Simo Lagnawi and African percussion. Other collaborators are Louis Bingham, James Dumbelton & Luke Jones on guitars & Ben Duckworth on hang drum.
