Entrancing zil (finger cymbal) music for resting, meditative movement and fine shimmy work by Dunya. "I learned to play zils as a meditation practice in Sufism. My teacher, Adnan, played in textures and sonorities rather than rhythms. I carry that tradition on and the zils become more like a soundscape of weather. Playing this way means keeping close attention to tiny increments of motion in my hands. It is very absorbing, drawing me to inner stillness."--Dunya |
