Digital Booklet

"There are many tunes that have an almost magical lure. Gestrin has found his muse and his inspiration ..."
- All About Jazz
“... he likes to play with the aesthetics of sound and that, for him, music is about craftsmanship ... this is some of the most original and innovative new music on the scene today.”
- PopMatters.com
"The pieces are quiet and roomy, suffused with a cool northwestern mist as they roam through soft scribblings, mysterious foreign landscapes and composed-sounding impressionist sketches. Remarkably, the diverse pieces all feel like parts of a planned whole, a free-form Zen suite to be contemplated and absorbed."
- JazzTimes.com
In the summer of 2004 Vancouver keyboardist Chris Gestrin spent three intense days in the studio on a Steinway D, recording in high resolution DSD with nine different duo and trio groupings of musicians from Vancouver’s vibrant music scene. Apart from a handful of compositions including a few solo piano pieces, all the music was completely improvised, exploring the process of spontaneous composition with concentration, finesse and expressive power. In the exposed settings on this 2007 release, success depended on sustaining the inspiration of the moment.
