Lee Westwood is a talented guitarist and composer living in Brighton, UK.
He was one of the “Small Gods” whose music I have posted before.
Here he works with Sama Mara on a vaguely algorithmic sounding set of pieces combining Islamic maths and Western tunings, played on marimba, and oboe, flute, and other such windy instruments, with some cello and percussion too.
I enjoy some of the melodies, but I have always been a sucker for music driven by an overt number-based pattern, and back in the day it is what the first computer-based sequencers were best at.
This is real instruments though, and I think a somewhat low-budget recording, in that I can hear a small and not very well treated room in the sound, which is a shame, but does give it some authenticity I like :slight_smile:
Not sure if it will be on any of the streaming services, but if you can find it, I recommend it as a nice piece of “morning music” (the fact that it is 1.30 in the morning makes that fit, right?)

Picked up this gem of a CD in the $1 bin sometime in the late 90s.
