music: Andreas Vollenweider

and uses a modified electroacoustic harp of his own design
Caverna Magica (...Under The Tree - In The Cave...) - YouTube
Caverna Magica - Wikipedia
The songs in "Caverna Magica" by Andreas Vollenweider don't use lyrics in a conventional language. This 1983 album features Vollenweider's distinctive harp playing accompanied by a made-up, invented language that he created specifically for this album.
The vocal parts are performed in this fictional language, which consists of syllables and sounds that resemble speech but don't translate to any known human language. This invented vocal style contributes to the album's mystical, otherworldly atmosphere that complements its concept of a journey through a magical cave.
This approach of using invented languages or vocalizations is not uncommon in new age and ambient music, where the human voice is often treated as another instrument rather than a vehicle for literal meaning through lyrics.
