Description:
Quiet Fire marks the first meeting of three remarkable artists, each distinguished for shaping (and reshaping) the face of contemporary world music. The woodwinds of master flautist Gary Stroutsos; William Eaton's handcrafted stringed instruments; pan-global percussion by Will Clipman-disparate elements fused together in a meditative celebration of newfound common ground.
More than an exchange between musical minds, however, Quiet Fire represents a new nexus of sound. Koto-harp guitar, Chinese bamboo Xiao flute, water drums, udu and other exotic instruments don't just mingle; they merge. The result: earfuls of open sky and whispering willows, a natural sound to unwind the mind and pacify the soul.
Attuned to the soothing hum of well-being, Quiet Fire is a musical journey impelled by an innate sensitivity. To luxuriate in its depth is to gaze into the reflecting pool of the heart. The view will ignite your imagination and restore your spirit.
Biography:
With ten albums to his credit, the name Gary Stroutsos has become an established name in the world of meditative flute music. Having his music featured on the Ken Burns' PBS Documentary Lewis and Clark: The Journey of the Corps of Discovery lead to a command performance at the White House for President Bill Clinton. This exposure, along with features on the NPR syndicated program 'Echoes' (with John Diliberto) and Skitch Henderson's 'New York Evening at the Pops' have taken Gary into the homes of many Americans. With a complete musical background in American Jazz, Afro-Cuban and American Indian music, Gary incorporates his divergent styles to push the boundaries of all known genres - weaving delicate melodies into a global landscape.
