Healing Moon | CD

About The Album

 In the summer of 2000, my wife photographer Carole Harmon and I, were living and working in the mountain resort town of Banff, Canada. One very clear night we thought a full moon meditation combined with a photo shoot would be possible and drove out to the Vermillion Lakes just west of Banff. We arrived about an hour before the moon would appear over Sulpher Mountain to the south and while quietly waiting for this luminous event, I became aware of the healing atmosphere of the time and place.

The experience made a deep impression on me, and when we returned home in the early hours of morning, I recorded the improvisation that became this CD, Healing Moon, Piano Music for an Illuminated Sky. There were no second takes and no editing. The recording seemed to have it's own, unalterable existence.

Tech Note

The piano I played was my personal piano, a 1979 Sohmer Model 57 and the music was recorded digitally using a matched pair of AKG C 480 B condensor mics in my Banff recording studio.
