about

The Magician, a hermit from a long forgotten Asian village, makes his way up the storm ridden precipice to his mountain cottage wherein he engages in alchemical experimentation leading to communion with the Beloved. The pensive sections of this work see the Magician mixing and ultimately ingesting his potions, while the dynamic rhythmic sections are reflections of his illumined ecstasies. Upon completion of his secret ritual he folds up his laboratory into the protective silks and returns to the rain drenched mountain path finding his way home to his daily work of carrying water and chopping wood.

"The Magician" was recorded as a promo opportunity in an LA studio with a new record company considering me as one of their roster of artists. Given an after-hours session with a great tech, we knocked this track out in 6 hours beginning to end with no pre-programming or preparation, played live the good old fashioned way - track on track. This recording served as the soundtrack to a choreographed work years later by Cheryl Flaharty, IONA Dance Theatre, as a solo work. She played the Magician highlighted by an off the platform leap into the backstage darkness at the climax of the piece.
