about

"What a fantastic album is Light Echoes!" -- Steve Sheppard, One World Music Radio.
www.mixcloud.com/OWM/in-the-stream-99/

(The one-track bonus version is identical to the original album but, since the music is continuous throughout, sidesteps the issue of some players' glitches at the three track transitions. For convenience, this may be purchased on its own at the same price.)

Lately, the recurring urge to sit down at my keyboards and just improvise has been rearing up, and the time felt right to return to that world. This is how the eyes cast down project began, with four spontaneous, late-night synth jams in early 2004. A part of the last one, "Last of His Breed," was released on two compilation albums in 2012.

If nothing else, "banging around" in this way is great for keeping the creative energy flowing. I thought it would be a terrific bonus if enough good pieces surfaced to warrant an album. (Looks like the Law of the 100 Monkeys with Keyboards is for real!)

So history repeated (and bettered) itself, with four new spontaneous pieces coming along at shorter and shorter intervals as the momentum grew, making Light Echoes a synth counterpart to my improvised guitar album The White Island. I arranged the album as a continuous flow; it's High Time I did that...

My wife Daci gave me four terrific photos, which made for some work arriving at the right cover (though the font was a no-brainer). This is my sixth album to be graced by her work.
