Album Description

Creating music with Adam Holzman as a featured artist is always a great experience! When working with him I have always tried to make settings for him to work with that measure up to his creative talents. I think that "Densities of Light / Shimmering Lake" meets that goal; it showcases Adam's many strengths as a player, soloist, and co-producer. Ever since "Winter Light" (from "Moving Pictures"), the play of light in both nature and in the built environment has fascinated me. Light is such an essential part of our existence in wonderful ways, as well as not-wonderful ways such as the rapid encroachment of light pollution. Over a range from the light on the side of a mountain to a neon sculpture, it exists on many layers simultaneously, and it affects us all in a myriad of ways (whether consciously or not). I've always tried to bring that in as some kind of element of my compositions. This piece is a single entity with two movements that have no simple or direct division between them, hence the duality of the title. And...the music sounds as good as it does because a master of mastering puts his finishing touches on it!
