Quiet Fire marks
the first meeting of three remarkable artists, each
distinguished for shaping (and reshaping) the face of
contemporary world music. The woodwinds of master flautist
Gary Stroutsos; William Eaton’s handcrafted stringed
instruments; pan-global percussion by Will Clipman—disparate
elements fused together in a meditative celebration of
newfound common ground.
More than an exchange between musical minds, however, Quiet
Fire represents a new nexus of sound. Koto-harp guitar,
Chinese bamboo Xiao flute, water drums, udu and other exotic
instruments don’t just mingle; they merge. The result:
earfuls of open sky and whispering willows, a natural sound
to unwind the mind and pacify the soul.
Attuned to the soothing hum of well-being, Quiet Fire is a
musical journey impelled by an innate sensitivity. To
luxuriate in its depth is to gaze into the reflecting pool
of the heart. The view will ignite your imagination and
restore your spirit. |
