Description:
Paul Machlis' lilting piano melodies embellished with Uillean pipes, whistle, cell, guitar and fiddle combine to produce a wondrous album steeped in the heart of the Celtic tradition. Reverence for the people, traditions and music infuses each Greenwoods track, capturing the mystery and magic of the Northern Isles.
Biography:
When asked about the inspiration for his compositions and playing, Machlis says, Music is one of life's greatest joys and a rich means of expressing thoughts and feelings from other arenas of my life. My music is inspired and influenced partly by great music that has touched me, from classical to contemporary, and whose composers express a common thread of passion, lyricism and spirituality. At the same time, my music is inspired and motivated by the primary threads of my life: family, including my wife and child along with our vibrant community of friends, nature and the spiritual path.
