Description
The Epic of Gilgamesh - a unique work...
I believe you'll find "The Epic of Gilgamesh" to be a unique work. Over the past two years I have taken this six thousand year old story and put it to music, employing a variety of musicians from around the world. I hope to tell the story of Gilgamesh in a refreshing way - through song and verse, while exploring the rich culture of Mesopotamia, and the deep philosophical meaning of the epic.
A "Musical Quilt"
The method of recording this Compact Disc was interesting. It is comprised of musicians from around the world - most of whom have never met or spoken - who are "playing" together on the same songs.
Using the Internet and MP3 technology, I managed to employ the talents of sixteen musicians from three different countries to create what I call a "musical quilt". This "musical quilt", was sent from person to person around the world, with each individual adding his or her talents to complete the project.
The Gilgamesh "Web Companion"
The Epic of Gilgamesh Compact Disc is just a component of a much larger work. In order to fully appreciate "The Epic of Gilgamesh", you must access the "Gilgamesh Web Companion" located here:

The "Web Companion" will help you get the complete picture. Included are the lyrics, methods of recording, explanations of the events in the story, and the original cuneiform rendering of the song titles with definitions by a Ph.D. from UCLA.
