about

Recorded as participation in the 2012 RPM (record a cd in 28 days) Challenge, Burst from the Sky Take Flight was created, produced and recorded during the month of February 2012. Marking a return in some ways to the guitar I recorded on 6 and 12 string but still brought in fretless via the oud which is heard on 3 pieces. I invited two friends to join me, Will Romano a drummer I have known and worked with for several years is heard on Thread the Stone and In February and James Ross, a Brooklyn area artist I first got acquainted with through ImprovFriday and later met when decided to start collaborating on music in person, is heard on The Fields, the Sun, the Grains. A few words are heard on the album both in a lyric and spoken word. There is a bird, flight, organic theme. I was returning from the grocery one cold morning and passed by a local hospital. There was a flock of birds flying in a frenetic circle about the top of one of the main buildings. I looked up and thought, 'Burst from the Sky Take Flight'.

I am doing a 'short run' of this recording in the physical CD form. I'll update the Bandcamp page soon with a link to the Kunaki 'store' where the CD can be ordered.

about

I am a musician based in NY. For many years as a solo acoustic guitarist I followed the muse of Michael Hedges. In recent ... more years my music has become more improvisational but still 'song' focused and has involved other instruments and textures such as the oud and voice. My new Bandcamp release/CD Burst from the Sky Take Flight fuses all those elements but with a guitar foundation. less
