* "Ruby's Glow" is a separate solo venture created to feature the incredible array of sonic possibilities of the Ruby Gamba, a new development in electric instruments made by Ruby Instruments (www.ruby-instruments.nl or www.ruby-gamba.com). Every single sound you hear on this track, including percussion, was performed on the Ruby Gamba. Many thanks to Jan Goorissen et al at Ruby Instruments for their real ingenuity and great generosity.
