"Headwaters" is a 48 minute new album that pushes the boundaries of concert and ceremony. The music was recorded and improvised live in front of a small group of friends and locals in my adopted home of Boulder Utah — one of the most remote geographies of America. On the mountainside of Boulder mountain at a friend’s ranch sat a beautiful C. Bechstein grand piano that inspired me to create. I invited a few friends to the ranch to see where the piano could take us. Lying on the ground, everyone settled in for a deep internal dive and I opened myself up to the open sonic landscape. I was incredibly nervous — with no plan or history with this particular piano, I felt I might completely fall on my face. But amidst the terror lay a flicker of inspiration calling me to play the first note, and to listen to see where it would lead next. With an adjacent keyboard setup, I created analog synthesizer pads with field recordings to establish beds to ground each improvisation. Not entirely ambient, minimalist synthesis, or only contemporary classical, the ethereal music just flowed out like water, as if springing from the very name of the ranch, “Headwaters."As the sun went down, and with the sounds of birds and wind wafting into the microphones surrounding the piano, the music settled just as it had arrived, gently and gracefully.HEADWATERS LISTEN:  Spotify / Apple / Bandcamp_____________________________________TICKETS LIVE - EASTFOREST.ORG/TOUR"CEREMONY TOUR"11.11 San Francisco, CA11.12 Santa Cruz, CA11.13 Los Angeles, CA11.15 Las Vegas, CA11.16 San Diego, CA11.17 Phoenix, AZ11.19 Santa Fe, AZ11.20 Austin, TX Join the COMMUNITY - sign up at EastForest.orgPlease support the show by joining our East Forest COUNCIL on Patreon.  Monthly Council, live-streams, demos, and more. JOURNEY SPACE - founded by East Forest.  Online Journey Facilitation and Support.
