about

. Desert was the fourth of Nii Noi’s solos with him now playing the ‘algaita oboe’ to illustrate the large expanse of desert which continues to grow. As he mentioned, the really sad thing is that while the savannah erodes and becomes part of the desert, the process doesn’t work in reverse, once desert it does not recover enough to revert to savannah. The stark sound of this short track is an appropriate lament.
