Listen to excerpts from The Trail of Genghis Khan Buy The Trail of Genghis Khan CD      Composer and producer Cye Wood and that great explorer of voice and music Lisa Gerrard weave traditional and non-traditional instruments and a deliberately minimalist sonic palette through pieces that consistently lean towards what might be called melancholic. They’re not sad so much as not fixed to home and hearth, containing within them a restlessness of spirit that thinks back but looks forward……… BERNARD ZUEL – Sydney Morning Herald/Spectrum

The soundtrack album ‘The Trail of Genghis Khan’ made in collaboration with Lisa Gerrard is now available as a CD and has been officially released by Vitamin records.

Sourced from material we made for the documentary series ‘The Trail of Genghis Khan’, this album is an emotive interpretation of Tim Cope’s epic journey on horseback  from Mongolia to Hungary (on which the doco is based). Drawing our inspiration from this rugged & majestic landscape and the culture & inhabitants of this unique part of the world, we have allowed our intuition to be the guiding force in the creation of these works.

“it touches that most exquisite and rare thing…….. the beautiful part of sadness…….        sadness without pain but something soul deep and akin to quiet pleasure. it sounds just right.”

“…….it was like the 75% of water in my body filled up to 100% the moment he picked his violin up. I thought I’d seen a lot of violin players in my life, but he was truly amazing, his fingers flying over the fingerboard as if he was attached to the violin………and the moment he played all these dreams flew out and I wanted to burst out in to tears……”
