about

The Fortune is a contemporary take on Western Americana storytelling. The tale is sprinkled with shamanic mysticism and vivid depictions, told not only through the voice of the storyteller, but by the use of conversing electronics and reed instruments.

“An aural dialogue that portrays a story upon a sound canvas” was the initial concept that led to The Fortune. Story written and spoken by John Ajac. Conceived, arranged and performed by Jim Ivy.

On the Ilse Music label.
