Wolf Music: “Tapio” for alphorn with echoing instruments. Most of And Wolf Shall Inherit the Moon has been kept as a private artwork, only to be shared with other members of the Wolf Project, but in 1996 Schafer did publish some excerpts from the work under the title Wolf Music. Included in that set is this beautiful solo, with natural sounds and echoes, performed here by Mike Cumberland on alphorn. It is spellbinding how beautifully the music and the natural sounds go together; I could listen to this track on repeat for the rest of my life. The track begins with a short spoken introduction by Schafer himself.
