What a fine package of pleasure. SPIRIT LADY, at first glance so fast. When the pace of the music becomes established, the speed becomes drone, and all that's left is the energy of the sound. Please pardon my music-speak. I do, slightly, read music. Enough to truly enjoy seeing your notated sheets. Viewed it as visual art and it pleased my eyes. Liner notes are gorgeous. You are blessed with many gifts.

Amazing. Here I sit, during the coldest days of Oregon winter, wondering how a composer, in the Land of LA, could have created this music. GREGORIAN WINTER embraces the chilling atmosphere of the tundra with a droning wind accompanying a choir of voices heated with love of the Divine. Stillness, alive with the vibration of life in hibernation.

The two new items were a treat for the ears. TUNIS PHANTOM album (and track) really got my attention related to Ravi Shankar/Alla Rakha. When I got to the "place" in Tunis, where I figured out what you were doing, I heard it as a gift to my ears. The tabla sounds were so fine. I applaud this new work. Then, you turn it around completely with the STARS BLOSSOM track, so soft and sweet. Music for the night. Your art is my pleasure.

I love the new work and appreciate it's "green" feel. GREEN GARNETS opens with a "slow dance" rhythm and a gentle reflective melody that summons the past. The bright beat of drum brushes consistently support the phrasing and patterns of the euphonic theme. The melancholic mood of GREEN GARNETS calmed my mind and led me into a dreamstate meditation.

I chose to listen to GARLANDED IN WISTARIA before reading what you'd written about the piece. I conjured up a moody, seductive, and very romantic walk with two newly enamored lovers wandering through Central Park. So I wasn't too surprised to find the NYC link you wrote about. Also felt it would be a beautiful movie score with its waves of highs and lows. Really love this piece.

JETAVANA took me to late night. Lovers' sighs as star struck skies fade, a new dawn that lulls and calls the soul. Snow this morning, falling on tulips. The weather here
full of surprises. JETAVANA, a holy place.

DAZZLING DARKNESS sounds like the soundtrack for "empty" mind. Rather than evoke images, it stirs the stillness rather than thoughts. You've done it again. The music lingers in space after it finishes playing.
