Rootspring is excited to introduce The Cave Project, a double album of music, rhythms and lullabies by a unique combination of musicians: Percussion duo Intone – Ronan Skillen and James van Minnen Indwe - A singer and Xhosa-bow player. The album was recorded over three days in a cave off the West Coast of South Africa.
On a sunny afternoon in August, Rootspring arrived to set up for a field recording at the home of Ilsa and Neil in Zeekoevlei, Cape Town. Their lush garden that overlooks the wide banks of the river provided a relaxing atmosphere for the musicians to settle into their creative selves, whilst a bush of chameleons overlooked the activity from all angles.
