Pawotay Project is...
Taylor, West African percussionist and composer, performance artist, teacher and...
Christian Pawola, his long-time partner in creative-crime, guitar specialist and all-around musician, teacher, performer, producer, friend and...
A Touch of Chaos in the Rhythmic Soup, the happy marriage of Taylor's
jembe/dounun rhythms, Christian's ambient guitar and autoharp, and their mutual creative zeal on bongos, balafon, claves, keyboards, shakers, chimes, tamborine, cabasa, rain stick, voice, and laughter.

Pawotay Note:
This album was completely improvised; every session, every track, and every take - over the course of two years (1994-1996). Nothing was rehearsed or written down. There are flaws, rhythmic and melodic. But what artistic work does not have it's share of flaws.
There is an artistic term called a "Persian Flaw". I'm sure you have heard of Persian rugs; beautiful works of art created by the ancient Persians. The ancient rug makers would intentionally place a flaw in the rug, not noticeable to the average eyes. It proves that beauty exists in spite of it's imperfections. This album is the product of two life long friends and musicians who know each other way too well!!

This is a song I recorded about 25 years ago with a band called, "Uncle Fester." We didn't play many gigs, but it was a HUGE defining moment in my life. ENJOY!
