Album Notes & Community Reviews

This poignant collaboration unites the classically trained pianist Peter Kater with the renowned Navajo-Ute cedar flutist R. Carlos Nakai. 'Migration' weaves delicate, flowing piano melodies around the haunting, breathy resonance of the traditional Native American flute. The profoundly soothing instrumental recording became a cornerstone release within the 1990s contemporary New Age and indigenous ambient music movements.
