Mataja was born in what is now Croatia and grew up in Yugoslavia. He ended up in California where eventually he recorded the music on this record.

I think it's all Yugoslavian folk songs and it seems to be all Mataja, layering tracks on tape recorders and creating echoey effects by playing parts in different octaves and double picking.

It's gorgeous and occasionally melancholy but always fantastic. The Numero label has really hit it out of the park with this one!
