Description
John Johnson, Greg Burgess, Steve Mitchell and
Andy Seal have collaborated to create audio landscapes reflecting the world around them. All the tracks on this album, except Amazing Grace, are improvisations. John choses his flute and describes the mood. Then the artists play the compositions, developing and growing like the elements of nature react with another to create a particular lanscape.
1. Sunsicles
This piece just happened. Greg titled this song Sunsicles. Moving through the woods on a cool morning with snow scattered on the ground and the early morning crystal sun rays through the trees - Sunsicles.
2. Ears to the Earth
My instructions here were to imagine walking through the woods. The flute is the spirit, the bass is the wind, the piano is the water, and the drum is the heartbeat.
3. Water Skaters
Watch the water bugs on a warm summers day and think of this song.
4. Dance of the Pines
As a former stage manager the Karamu Modern Dance Company in Cleveland Ohio, when I close my eyes and listen to this piece I think of modern dance moves. Sometimes I think of the same dance moves as I watch the wind in the pines on the Isle of Que in Pennsylvania.
5. Demon's Den (Otzinachson)
This is a blues number. We liked the sound of the word "otzinachson." It means Demon's Den
6. Fire Flicker
In midsummer my back yard is filled with the flickering lights of the fireflies.
It seem to fit.
7. Amazing Grace
Our interpretation to a fine song.
