Caravan of Light
David Arkenstone 
49797 Narada
Narada recording artist David Arkenstone captures the sounds and spirit of the caravan trail from North Africa to the Orient with exquisite textures of synthesizer, voice, and percussion. 

After coming to California from rural Chicago at age 10, David immersed himself in all the music he could find.  Spending high school and college in various bands and performance groups, he crossed the country several times playing popular music.  He finally settled down to concentrate on developing his own sound.  When computers and instruments could finally communicate with each other, David knew his time had come.  "Technology has produced some wonderful tools for making music. The computer allows me to fully orchestrate my pieces and really fine-tune them."

 

"I enjoy bringing many different influences together in my music.  World music, classical, rock, and 'new age' are some of the styles I draw from and enjoy weaving into an entertaining and adventurous whole.  I have always loved the sound of the orchestra.  Now I believe I have refined a wonderful blend combining the best elements of the acoustic world, with the electronic world."
     - David Arkenstone
