If you happen to be looking for "Sunshine Tomorrow,"
you will likely find the orchestration of the keys on Lynn's piano. That track
is one of twelve that will set you at ease and let the day slip away into the
night.
For some of us, it isn't easy to clear our minds, put the day
behind us, and find complete enjoyment after punching the clock. Because we can
be so busy with work, we may have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep to
get needed rest. What is there to turn to find that release point and
re-energize?
As you get into a comfortable space in your home and position
yourself for optimal relaxation, the music encourages you to do what you need
to absorb it fully. An artist's stream of consciousness is entirely different
from everyday folks. As they follow their hearts and spirits, the music is
created and performed, and then, after many months in the recording studio,
comes the addition of other instruments; however, in this case, that was
unnecessary. It is Lynn and her piano alone. Then, the final mastering. A
process I cannot comprehend. I do appreciate what each artist goes through to
bring such grace and beauty. Lynn has done that consistently over the years.
I did notice a particular atmosphere running through each track.
Every track has a purposeful pace and mood. I heard a sadness that was hard to
define (it was a mirror of my soul at the time). The tracks sound like love
songs to me, but they come filled with color and ambiance that radiate hope,
which, in the end, removes that feeling of sadness I felt while listening.
While all that was true, I felt everything I heard was beautiful.
The one thing a listener needs to remember is that music is
perceived differently by everyone. Also, their current life situation might
feel like a "Carousel" of emotions and as if something emerged from the
"Shadows." Still, there is always "Morning's Promise" right
around the corner when the sun rises again.
When "Technicolor Blanket" started, I noticed an
immediate change in the energy of the music and how my senses perceived it. The
track has a more upbeat pace and shade to it. It's like a smile that begins on
the inside and then shows on the outside.
The best way to express my feelings regarding this music was to
use the track titles interspersed with words and emotions. And, after all,
isn't that what this is all about? Music is emotion in its absolute and honest
form. If you listen closely enough, you feel the heart and soul of the artist
in every note. And that my music-loving friends are our gifts to treasure.
Stop and listen to the Many Branches on Lynn Tredeau's
music tree. It will take root and grow as soon as you start listening.
