I've enjoyed listening to your CDs very much. The recording quality is very good -- you get a great sound, and I like your ideas. I remember listening to one of the tunes, I think it was the first one on Mellow Stasis and at first I found myself thinking how beautiful, almost "sweet" it sounded, but then it started getting busier, and I felt like if I died and went into "bardo" (which for the Tibetan Buddhists is the space between death and rebirth), this is what it would be like -- somewhat confusing in that you have to keep your wits about you or you are lost. I'm not sure I'm expressing this very well, but it is a deep compliment. Thank you again for the wonderful music.

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to your set. The music evoked an array of emotions before finally setting a scene in my mind. The scene possible contradicts the intent of your music based on its title. My initial feeling was one of relaxation but as the song developed, I began to imagine a situation. The rhythmic tone of the song set the stage and as it transitioned, so did my emotions. I began to detect a sense of emotional internal struggle within my vision. I pictured a wet, cool, fall night with chaos erupting. One person was outside that scene as if looking in. The person had been lifted out of the situation yet still a major part of the chaos. The struggle was the person having to settle the situation. As the progression went on, it was as if it were the next day and the wind was blowing, disturbing the wind chimes on the front porch of a house in the middle of a field. As if nothing had happened. The struggle was over – satisfied.
All in all, each song told me a story. Not paying any attention to the song titles, I was able to develop a new story with each song. A wonderful collaboration of touch and tone with very distinct internal sounds that were subtle yet profound to the transition of the music. The CD was very engulfing - almost hypnotic. I truly enjoyed it. At certain points of each song, I felt a rush of adrenaline only to be brought back down with the
soothing oceanic sounds. Hollowed or echoed. Beautiful.
