Notes for the Listener:

Follow the contour and metaphor of the sound. Musical lines and volumes appear and disappear at the same time, the cerebral in us all tries to capture and define “moments” within this paradoxical gestation, but music cannot be captured or contained, not by the listening ear nor by a recording. At the same time the residual trails of its “effect” is left swimming in the body/mind/spirit, and from it spring forth seeds that produce healing, inspiration, and dreams. The improvisations on this album were recorded on two separate occasions in Buffalo, NY. They were done without any verbalization or pre-conception about what was to follow. They are a congealed collage of our collective body/mind/spirit and musical DNA’s. The powerful strains of the musical traditions of the Middle East, India, and Africa are all to be found for sure, but being of Western Skies, we can only dream of the East.
