In producing Eternal Egypt, composer and arranger Grayson Wells combines samples of ancient Middle Eastern instruments and ethnic rhythms with a contemporary sensibility. At times, Eternal Egypt takes the listener into a market in North Africa or, on the track Palace Of Ra, into modern Cairo’s late night disco scene with its pulsating world beat. Also featured is Richard Graham, an authority in ancient Egyptian history and musical methods. Graham displays his talent on various instruments that have been passed down from the age of the Pharaohs, such as the nay, darabuka, riqq, tar, crotale, Ighaita, and more.
Together, Wells and Graham successfully create a musical masterpiece that, while owing much to traditional Middle Eastern music, is meant to reach a wider audience without sacrificing the integrity of the source. An exciting CD combining the past with the Digital Age, Eternal Egypt encompasses traditional belly dance arrangements, pulsing tribal beats, and unique soundtrack effects.

Sadly, Mr. Wells passed away on March 29, 2009 in Orlando, FL, where he had been working as a composer and musician. Of particular note is the dramatic musical piece "Soaring" which was commissioned by Disney and is heard every evening there by thousands of visitors. Grayson Wells leaves behind his wife and two children.
