   About Primaeval
I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4 Primaeval "opened with an hanter dro; where everyone links together and grooves into an ever decreasing spiral and back out again, like a snake wrapping around itself. The drum starts to drive the rhythm and a sense of tribal oneness unfurls into the Arabic ambience cast by the hurdy-gurdy. The crowd dances and moves in unison as the pastoral oboe cracks into the stratosphere with its dizzy, electrifying sound standing up the hairs on the back of my neck. The music has a structure capable of inducing a state of trance, almost hypnotic, especially in the group dances where this feeling is channelled back through the communal rhythm of the dancers." The Oracle

During a British Council sponsored tour of Ukraine Primaeval played at the Krayina Mriy and Sheshory festivals where they proved to be "one of the biggest draws of the day." Songlines

David Franks: Walkabouts Verse





Jun 25 2009 8:12 PM

(Hi: enjoyed my visit.) 

After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem sung on myspace... 

Poem 2 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse
(please see my blog): 
WALKABOUT WITH MY PEN 

Once drove an old sedan, up north, 
From a place in Sydney to Cairns; 
Then to Kuranda I went forth, 
By train, to look without set plans.

I browsed through the trendy market, 
With fresh fruits of tropical kind; 
Walked to the creek through lush thicket - 
Nature’s hand giving peace of mind.

I dined in a scenic cafe; 
Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, 
Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, 
You go walkabout with your pen.” 

Request or question, I don’t know -
Assured voices, elderly men.
That’s now several years ago, 
And I’ve seen the world - with my pen.
