Description

Traveling through the Andean Altiplano in Chile, Peru and Venezuela and following the backbone of mountain ridges up through Mexico; through the deep forests and high plateaus one can hear ancient sounds echoing through the ancient lands forever. Sounds made by the Incas centuries ago; Sounds made by the Maya when their culture flourished; The sounds of the Aztec and Quichua as they raised their instruments in celebration, praise, joy and sadness.

These sounds fill my ears and I let them dwell in me. They become part of my musical consciousness as I explore the sonorities and sense of place and time that the sounds evoke.

Ancient dwellings in time and space all but lost and forgotten or remembered and longed forin a quite space rising from the hidden forest and thrusting mountain peaks; pouring through undulating cascades like gentle veils enfolding the mountains and jungle and creating a deep sense of oneness with creation.
