Music that speaks to the soul
Music that stops you in your tracks,
makes you breathe a deep sigh of relief and relax
This music can be described as an invocation to something higher than ourselves, a way of bringing the light and love of the universe into deep awareness, a prayer to the creator of us, a deep belief and gratitude that we are created from the highest form of LOVE.
The lyrics in “Love Letters from the Universe” were written to call in the power of our creator to help me step into living the highest life I could live. Sometimes the lyrical guidance was so strong, I’m not sure if I was calling to the universe or if it was calling to me. I decided it was the same thing.
The creation of this cd was a team effort. It could never have had the depth, the beauty, or the musical journey it possesses without the love and dedicated effort of so many skilled musicians.
Heartfelt thanks (in no particular order) to Emanuel Lieberfreund, Colin Campbell and Freya Lindbloom for your constant friendship, musical guidance, support and belief in me. Blair Greenberg for his patience and for donating so much time to laying and texturing these tracks with his expert musical ear.
Thank you also to those of you who have encouraged my creativity over the past few years by coming to the Absolute soirees, to my gigs and for your repeated requests for this CD’s existence. Without you this album wouldn’t have been created.
