on the Cambridge Street Records label: www.sfu.ca/~truax/cdlist.html (where
you can hear .mp3 excerpts).
The CD brings together four octophonic pieces based in different cultural
traditions that represent different “journies” of the human spirit, plus a
new mix of a piece for alto flute and soundscape inspired tape called Steam
with Chenoa Anderson.
The other four pieces are Temple (an imaginary choral performance in an
Italian cathedral), Prospero’s Voyage (a soundscape piece that takes place
on Prospero’s island as he is about to leave), The Shaman Ascending
(inspired by Inuit throat singing and sculpture), and The Way of the Spirit,
featuring Randy Raine-Reusch playing two Japanese instruments in the Zen
tradition, the ichigenkin and shakuhachi.
This is my 8th solo CD being released 20 years after the first one, and I
think it represents some new directions that I hope people will find
interesting. The four octophonic pieces will be included at a concert at
Concordia in October in the Harvest Moon series.
The CD is available, as with all the others, by mail order from my website,
as well as EMF, CMCDS, and Diffusion i Media.
