about

This is a record of ballads. It was made with some friends in various parts of Europe, in a cave in the attic of the building where I live, and in various other warrens and grottos around the continent. Some tracks were also recorded in Hamden, USA, in the Great State of Connecticut.

about

Claude Cahn

I came of age in college radio. I played in bands. I played on the street. I wrote out the melodies I heard from inside. In the early 2000s, the music stopped playing in my head. Trad rescued me and brought it all back. Now I play where the spirit takes me, and on a good night, I can bring it all together: for love, for communing with other people, for shaking loose the demon in these MP3 times. ... more
