High Tea
High Tea is a playful exploration of traditional fiddle music and the South Indian rhythmic concept of "tihai." With tabla player Ty Burhoe and electric bassist Evan Marien, Andy Reiner presents a completely original take on the standard 32-bar fiddle tune form, featuring through-composed variations alongside improvisations. Post-Production Engineer James Tuttle folds his post-production role into the arrangement by upgrading acoustic fiddle drones into a lush and swirly soundscape.more
