7Fish
€ 15 7Fish (2014) " ...Gorgeous, exciting journey of her sharpely compositions (...) tense, mysterious, floating, with sudden bursts of flickering propulsion, moving out into a dark sea ..." 5/5 Andrew Cronshaw , May 2015, #383 http://frootsmag.com/ If music is an endless ocean of possibilities, this collection is but 7 such...plus one. Eight new compositions by Kelly Thoma rising from the depths of the ocean of music. Influenced by various modal traditions, Kelly and eleven exceptional musicians interpret her compositions as well as improvise with virtuosity and sensitivity. Each composition is named after a specific fish and the last piece called "S", which reveals the movement of the fish, seeks to take the listener to the most profound recesses of his personal ocean. Tracks 1.Piranhas 2.Salahi 3. Melanouri 4.Lychnos 5.Hamsi 6.Dolphins 7.Atherina 8.S Recorded, mixed and mastered at Studio Vasmaris, Heraklion, Crete www.studiovasmaris.gr Recorded by: Vaggelis Apostolou Mixed and mastered by: Efrén López Photos: Giannis Karnikis - Athena Tounda (Narciso Corporation Photography) Cover artwork: Kallia Platyrrachou Supported by Cretaquarium and HCMR http://www.cretaquarium.gr/ All tracks composed and arranged by Kelly Thoma

Anamkhara
€ 15 Anamkhara (2009) The word Anamkhara derives from the Irish Gaelic language and means "friend of the soul". All of the tracks on the CD are composed and arranged by Kelly Thoma, who is one of the core members of Ross Daly's "Labyrinth" ensemble for the past ten years. Her chosen instrument is the Cretan lyra which she plays in her own unique way, reflecting the rich experience which she has gained in Labyrinth through her collaborations with master musicians from various countries. Her compositions reveal a rich imagination and a wise and mature balance between the indispensable discipline and austerity which characterize the traditions she has studied, and the creative expression, free of dogmatic attitudes, which is the fundamental need of any young artist. The sound of many bowed instruments in combination with the exceptional percussion work of Zohar Fresco is the hallmark of the album. Four other significant musicians of international stature participate on the album, Efrén López on the vielle a roué, Pedram Khavar Zamini on the Iranian tombak, Ahmet Erdoğdular with a vocal improvisation in the Turkish gazel style, and Ross Daly on the tarhu and Cretan lyra. Tracks: 1. Star anise 2. Ice Tree 3. Giouhtas 4. Bir Tel 5. Flutter 6. Anamkhara 7. The dancing owl Cover photos: Andrzej Lozko Cover artwork: Kallia Platyrrachou
