Woodwind player Pedro Eustache signs distribution deal.

ONE OF THE primary musicians of Mel Gibson's movie The Passion Of The Christ, Pedro Eustache, has signed a worldwide distribution deal for Christian and general markets with Casa Creacion. Venezuelan-born Eustache is considered to be one of the top woodwind instrumentalists in the world, playing the flute, saxophone and bass clarinet. But his knowledge goes beyond those to lesser-known instruments such as the Armenian duduk, the Indian bansuri and others that cover the traditions of five continents. He was named "our most international musician" and "one of the most outstanding Venezuelans of 2004" by El Universal, one of Venezuela's leading newspapers.

'Global MVission', Eustache's most recent project as a soloist, produced by his record label and production company, Gynook Productions, was released in March. CR
