For three decades and beyond, we’ve created, in RC’s words, “sound sculptures” not heard elsewhere. This is not an expression of boldness, but a simple summing of the musical forces we each bring to our performances and co-compositions. From what other ensemble could a listener experience all three registers of Native American flute (low - standard - high), unique (a wornout word, yes, but absolutely true here) stringed instruments like the lyraharp guitar, electric harp guitar, spiral clef, 26 string guitar, and lyre set to the rhythms of globe spanning percussion and drums like the udu, tar, cajon, to’ere, djembe, bodhran, caxixis, and ipu heke? For a long time, we’ve entertained (or at least, intrigued) audiences with musical explorations/experiments generated by our eclectic collection of instruments, which to be musically effective requires a close alignment of artistic vision and temperaments. We are dually fortunate for this alignment, which is also personal, as not many ensembles can withstand the centrifugal pressures of time, especially as we now count our time together not in years, but decades.
This album, with its nine stylistically different tracks, owes its genesis to a commission RC received from the International Trumpet Guild for a classical work for trumpet and Native American flute. Free to compose whatever he wanted, RC invited us to join him in creating music that became Passages, released just prior to this recording on From Graceful Fields, RC’s fifth classical album for Canyon Records. For us as a trio, this collaboration in a new genre re-ignited our creativity and motivated us to continue making music as much for fun as any predetermined artistic or commercial outcome. The iconography of Spiral Rendezvous visually presents what inspires and generates our music. The Nautilus shell is often used to demonstrate one of many biological expressions of the Fibonacci series (originally defined in India five centuries before Europe learned the Indo-Arabic numeral system, which provided them the math to understand how the Indians deciphered the series). Our music is never created to a formula but grows organically from the uncertain outcomes of improvisation and the accidents of free form collaboration and eventually finds structure by collation of three separate artistic imaginations. Nonetheless, somewhat like the Nautilus, each song begins with a concise, defining form and expands incrementally outward. While our songs, each from a different musical constellation, can be as diverse as the expressions of the series in nature (Nautilus shell, sunflowers, pine cones), the generative process is the same and we hope our sound sculptures are as graceful as the spiraling curves and elegant mathematics embodied in this music’s icon, the Nautilus.
