Heartstrings,
the moody title track of Daniel Berkman's first release of kora music, features the instrument as a percussive texture and a pedal-steel-esque ambient texture within a minimalist framework.

Recorded live with kora and devices.

They Come In Dreams
A study for the coming and going of people, places, and things in our dreams. They Come In Dreams is a collage of new kora sounds woven into the structure of a simple acoustic kora and kora bass track to create a full-textured studio recording.

Cry
Recorded live at Theatre Concrete in San Francisco, November 15, 1997.
“Cry is a tendency of mine, in my live performances, to fix on a mood and go with it. As an earlier improvisation, Cry is a prototype for more experimental ideas to flourish for solo kora.”

“It's a sweet prophecy.”
