Label: Gentle Rain Music
Robert
Thies (piano) and Damjan Krajacic (flute) form a duo that is in total sync
spiritually and emotionally. That one factor to me equals a great listening
experience.
Blue Landscapes II: Discoveries was
formed through inspiration from renowned classical composers such as Debussy
and Ravel. The sessions that were recorded were improvisatory, which make the
music that much more incredible and inspiring. This album is a continuation and
expansion of the first volume. I was not fortunate enough to hear that first
session, but I am sure it was quite good.
The
thought of these two men coming together and creating such beauty without a
carefully mapped musical plan just amazes me. Some albums are done that way, and
that is the norm. Regardless of how it was done, it remains totally intuitive
for the listener. I found this to be an engaging journey for my mind, body and
spirit. Yes, the triangle of life connects for me nearly instantly when
listening to music like this.
The
album offers 15 tracks of peaceful meditation for your soul to assimilate. You
can also use the music to travel to another plane of existence, a place that
you know and are totally comfortable with. This music becomes your guide. As
the CD cover says, it is “Music From a Quieter Place.” It is up to you to find it.
Blue Landscapes can be the ocean, or the sky, or a blank
canvas of blue, like watercolors of the mind, painted by the music directly
into your mental and physical being. Each track is a separate path from the
next, and they all weave together like a patchwork quilt that warms the spirit
and holds memories.
Blue
Landscapes II: Discoveries is another doorway to tranquility created
by two talented artists.
