about

The next recording session came during a trip to the Hualapai reservation in the Grand Canyon on October 22nd. We camped out near Peach Springs, Arizona. It was a purifying experience, and you can hear it in the songs that were recorded that evening. The recording session was fruitful and was heavily inspired by the ground I sat on while writing/playing.

That night I recorded 'Out of War, and INTO Peace', 'Think About Living', 'With Each Other', and 'On Music Mountain'. I chose these songs to help close out the album. 'With Each Other' and 'On Music Mountain' are very heavily influenced by traditional Native American chants and drumming.These two songs, as well as 'Drinking From Rivers of Holy Water', are spiritual chants. They come from a part of myself beyond words, or at least English words. Those two songs came out of me while the rest of my family slept within our tent.
