"So the daybroughtlove as a precarious dance we know is part of everything that is growing and hitching a ride to the pretty how town for a glimpse of the next big thing. We saw, we awe, we are.." – from a note from Seraphic Park.
These ten tunes include a musical setting of ee cummings' "anyone lived in a pretty how town"; a duet with my bassman for 30+ years, Robert Vignaud, (now conducting musical electricity in a celestial way) and a wide array of amazing musicians – Lewi Longmire, Chris Funk, Jenny Conlee, Jason Montgomery, Simon Lucas, Nancy Tannler, Eugene's Mood Area 52, Ike Eichenberg, Oliver Steck, DarlenYa and other very musical beings too. Recorded in Portland, Eugene and Austin, the was mixed and mastered in glorious 3D.
The physical CD contains a poster of this unbelievable cover painted by the illustrious Ila Rose (ilaroseart.com) and there's way more than this picture shows.
Review by Mitch Ritter, Lay-Low Studios, OR-WA:
The Sound of Photosynthesis has and continues to seek its own level, taking time-lapse root under my skin and hovering around the constellation of my senses... This cycle of songs and aural collage distills well-traveled and hard-traveled sense datum into the stuff of walkabout wisdom.
Recorded intuitively on the Austin, Texas through Eugene to Po’Town, Ore-gone-ic axis peopled with some of the hemisphere’s impressively intuitive players and engineering wizards such as Billy Barnett [at Gung Ho] and Victor Nash at Destination Universe studios, The Sound of Photosynthesis opens with an under-wrought “glimpse” of the many paradoxes and absurdist con-trails of Spain & the whole absurd world of Federico Garcia Lorca’s rough-hewn revolutionary lived poetry, where delicacy, civil resistance from whimsy to war, finds the steps to the “dance we know” (perhaps a ‘dance of the neurons’).
Cutean aka QTN and his collaborators breathe through these tunes and natural world soundscapes\shadescapes a similarly delicate series of emotional phases finding a “precarious” if evanescent balance between the deep dark night of the soul and “daybroughtlove” from which this marvelous album’s title is drawn. There’s a hint of Chicago’s folk-theater master Michael Smith’s “Something About Big Twist” in Cutean’s “next big thing” again balancing the whimsy of often bitter time-lapse wisdom with its sweet and sour getting. Oliver Steck’s after-tone trumpet is one of the green fuses that drive, yet never forces, these flowers.
