Voices Of The Land CD
VOICES OF THE LAND musically explores diverse landscapes, beautiful and rugged as well as desolate and abundant across the western United States, against the backdrop of settlement; of land and livelihoods ripped away, and land and livelihoods given away. Each piece was composed in its own geographic and cultural bubble; my assertion is that every landscape embodies multiple voices, multiple perspectives, including those of the land itself. The pieces on this album represent North Cascades National Park (WA), Cottonwood Canyon State Park (OR), Yukon Charley Rivers National Preserve (AK), The Oregon Historic Trail (Many), Homestead National Historic Park (NE), and Pine Meadow Ranch (OR).
