VERGE Production & Instrumentation:
"Working with Liam was a great experience. His songs have so many moods it was a real challenge to come up with the right settings. I'm glad we were able to experiment with unusual instrumentations and unique recording techniques." ~ Tim Carbone, Producer

In 2000, Tim Carbone performed at the "World Festival of Sacred Music" in Thailand and also for the Dalai Lama at his residence in Dharamsala, India. On Verge, Tim plays some of the instruments he brought back from that tour (kaen from Thailand, Indian harmonium, Tibetan singing bowls). On "Man Woman Child" Tim's violin keens Hindustani style over Buck Dilly's percussive banjo, hinting at a fusion of Indian raga with Appalachian music.
