David Parsons - portal

David Parsons is a New Zealand new age/ambient composer who began composing music in the 1960s; often with a darker edge than that of his contemporaries. In 1989, Parsons began recording an extensive series of indigenous music sound documents in Egypt, Cambodia, Armenia, Vietnam, Indonesia, the Himalayas and other exotic locales. He continues to record and compose music in New Zealand (or Middle Earth, as he calls it). Portal is the pounding, beating heart of life at the foothills of the mighty Himalayan range. Here we meet a secluded and hardy people in a stark combination of vivid colours, old ways and a deep spiritual connection to the land that surrounds them; things that modern society handwaves as mere exoticisms.
