This album is drenched in the sound of summer in Nimbin. It has Mbira (african thumb piano), water drums, acoustic guitar, and vocals. It has an expressive and reflective musicianship within it. The music blends African and celtic musics and the addition of the sound of crickets gives it a warm tropical vibe. At the time when it was being made Andrew spent hours swimming in a large pond and meditating in a small dome shaped hut made from sticks and reeds, hence the title ‘Otter Spirit’. Much of the spirit of this place: Djangbung gardens, permeates this recording and can be described as a gentle joy.
Guest musicians include Whompy Thompson and Robyn Francis.
