Ari Porki and Christopher Alvarado collaborate for the second time to create Halla, inviting a handful of guest artists, including eyes cast down, who plays electric guitar and fretless electric with EBow on the piece Ruska. Greg M comments:

“I’m honored to be included in this project! I’ve been a fan of Ari Porki’s music for years (see my rave review of his excellent album Dimension), and Chris Alvarado is a new discovery for me. Being a guest performer was a new and refreshing experience: I just recorded my parts and turned them in, with no worries about how they were to be integrated into the whole. I was thrilled to hear the final mix, and hope to sit in with more of my esteemed colleagues very soon. In the meantime, I hope listeners will give some deep listening to this album.”

Halla is available for free download here.
