Andreas Vollenweider (vocals, classical guitar, erhu, harp, gothic harp, cheng, flute, wooden flute, bamboo, ocarina, accordion, soprano saxophone, organ, keyboards, ethnic percussion); Mindy Jostyn (vocals, mandolin, violin, harmonica); Joseph Shabalala (vocals); Homas Fessler (acoustic & electric guitars); Helmut Lipsky (violin); Daniel Pezzotti (cello); Ivan Conti (berimbau, congas); Matthias Ziegler (flute); Eberhard Hahn (penny whistle); Jurg Zurmuhle (shakuhachi); Roman Schmid (oboe); Daniel Binelli (bandoneon); Michael Brecker (tenor saxophone); Peter Keiser (bass); Walter Keiser (drums, percussion); Leonard Eto (daiko drums, Japanese percussion); Ladysmith Black Mambazo (background vocals). Engineers include: Eric Merz, Yves Jaget, Jurg Peterhans. This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. Personnel include: Andreas Vollenweider (vocals, classical guitar, cheng, harp, erhu, bass flute, bamboo flute, clay flute, wooden flute, ocarina, accordion, organ, keyboards, percussion); Mindy Jostyn (vocals, mandolin, violin, fiddle, harmonica, melodica); Joseph Shabalala (vocals); Thomas Fessler (acoustic guitar, electric guitar); Ivan Conti (berimbau, congas); Daniel Pezzotti (cello); Jurg Zurmuhle (shakuhachi); Daniel Binelli (bandoneon); Roman Schmid (oboe, English horn); Michael Brecker (tenor saxophone); Walter Keiser (drums, snare drum, frame drum, percussion); Leonardo Eto (drum, cymbals); Ladysmith Black Mambazo, La Cantapella Helvetica. Swiss harpist Andreas Vollenweider continues his exploration of world fusion on this ambitious, genre-blending release. In addition to the usual presence of Vollenweider's electrified harp, on which he manages to combine the instrument's lush, classical sound with unusual rhythmic effects and uncharacteristic tones, KRYPTOS boasts a range of other instruments, including flutes, synthesizer, human choruses, and a variety of percussion. Stylistically Vollenweider draws on African influences, Greek folk songs, Celtic airs, contemporary Western classical, and dramatic film music. Vollenweider also has a soft spot for mythological themes, as on "Hermes' Wedding" and "Circulus Finalis," which recounts the travels of a hero in musical terms. Vollenweider is clearly building on his successful albums of the early 1980s with KRYPTOS, expanding the reach of his music to encompass the globe.
