The Scent of Light - Each of these ten instrumentals draws a picture, and each picture tells a story. It's music as a smell that triggers unexpected memories. India, 1978... Granada, 1992... each track has a strong atmosphere of time and place, like the journal of an itinerant poet or painter.
Tracks range from over 5 minutes to almost 12 minutes. Each piece shifts and evolves, sometimes going through several tempo and rhythm changes, "The River" features Tangos, Rumba and 6/8 rhythms, sometimes building from a haunting solo-guitar performance to the full drive of the band, as in "Silence: No More Longing".
Under the Rose - We are giving this music away for free and hope that you will be moved to make a donation to Direct Aid Iraq. You can find a couple of the tracks here, in the form of 128kbps mp3 downloads, or head over to the dedicated webpage for all ten songs in high quality (320kbps mp3).
Up Close - A binauraldummy head recording, sometimes also called holophonics. The listener has to use headphones to experience the 3D surround-sound quality of the music since the recording uses the head-related transfer function. Recorded live-to-stereo in August of 2007. No edits were made and the volume was not compressed. This album is not as loud as most music and you might have to turn up the volume on your computer or mp3 player. You will NOT experience the binaural surround effect when you listen to one of the previews below as the previews are in mono. Also check out this article on culturecourt.com
SSRI Sampler - Free downloads (128kbps only) of selected songs by SSRI artists. We will add songs and replace others, so check back from time to time.
