About this album

  • Updated: 26/09/2011

 Mikhail Ally on alto clarinet on all tracks. Luke Lindeman just beginning his journey on the electric bass guitar on "in the message"  Macroform playing an old smelly Italian Lira accordion, guitars, drums, and synthesizers. 

The first 4 tracks are compositions that I recorded previously with guitar, synth drums and bass, Mikhail then added his touch to them with the clarinet, really rounding out the sound (imo). After listening a few times he recorded these in a single take, which is amazing! I marvel at his acceptance of so called “imperfections” in tone or notes, because of his uncanny ability to play of of these and transform them into something else, a phrase that has more meaning, that really says something. It is really a joy to work with an artist like that. It is sad that we live far apart but makes the times we have together much more valuable and meaningful as musicians.In the message was recorded live. The last track is from a unstructured jam session with Luke Lindeman on bass and Mikhail Ally on alto clarinet. We have fun being and playing together on Mikhail’s though it was Mikhail’s last night in Troy before heading back to Atlanta. Recorded on a Tascam portable recorder at the Tabernacle of the Lord Jesus Christ in Troy Ohio.

This album is a work of art--very soothing to listen to--melodic improvisational acoustic warm friendly instrumentals ( I’ll call it jazz, but who needs labels)-- changing and recurring patterns that echo like a mantra in the mind - intriguing, inviting, dynamic sounds that move like warm currents into different spaces around. For example, I was anxious, and now I am calm-- the feeling of inner peace jumped right out of the music and landed on me, but I don’t mind. Don’t mind a bit--very soothing to listen to. What really knocked me over was the improvisational alto clarinet playing on this album --absolutely magnificent. With that said, I give this album very high marks--highly recommended. Now go and listen to it. I am going to check out some of the other music of this artist.
