While thinking of Santiago de Compostela and the camino, Erik Satie and John Cage, silence and minimalism, I recorded this...

Reynosa

Drizzle to Storm

 Performance of Drizzle to Storm from "Sound Travels", August 2000.

Entezar

  

ENTEZAR emerged out of overwhelming feelings of frustration, anger, and helplessness resulting from the United States' declarations of war against the people of Afghanistan and Iraq. I have found the generalized disrespect for Arab and Islamic cultures – including art, architecture, mathematics, language, and literature - deeply disturbing. This piece, composed for solo guitar, developed organically over the course of several years - the longer the conflicts continue, the more compelled I feel to find ways – symbolically, at least – to knit together opposing forces in some harmonious way. ENTEZAR is a Farsi word meaning "waiting" or "longing". This work is dedicated to all of those who have been affected by hatred, fear, and violence in our post-9/11 world, and who even in moments of extreme darkness continue to hold a vision of peace and hope for the future.

Entezar will be on my next album of solo guitar pieces, but can be downloaded now for free in the player above.
