Details:
"Left of Sunday Afternoon"
The concept began with the idea of using Tabla to augment some of my solo compositions.
Jason and I discussed the sound of the great Led Zeppelin Track "Black Mountainside"
as well as the project "Shakti," led by John Mclaughlin.
The concept began with the compositions "Left of Sunday Afternoon" and "Violet"
We thought about mixing Western Folk and Bluegrass with Indian Rhythm and North African/Middle Eastern Gypsy
violin sounds.
We added cello and some keyboard sounds to flesh out the tracks and voila!
A new and melodic acoustic project was born!
The concept of West meets East is not new, But this is a unique, beautiful melodic project.
Simplicity of melodic statements was key to making the project accessible, while introducing
"odd" time signatures like 5, 7 and 15 to give a rhythmic uniqueness. We included an Arrangement
of "Black Mountainside" as an ode to our youthful inspirations for this very special project.
When It came to the cover, I knew an artist who would be perfect.
After much coaxing, I was fortunate enough to commission this painting
for the project. The cover was Jay Long''s brilliant vision of the music realized.
Images of the wise owl soaring above Middle Eastern rooftops. It is our hope
this music evokes such beautiful imagery for the listener. A soundtrack
for relaxation and imagination.
Enjoy!
-Darin Layne
