'Siyo friends: This recording reflects the different aspects of my journey in this world & the different cultures I have encountered as I attempt to find out more about myself & who I truly am. It is a cross-over of two cultures, or two worlds, that I live within. In contrast of my previously released cd, Voice From Within - which was a simple traditional concept, this cd is more an interweaving of the traditional & contemporary emotion. |

Voice From Within has a variety of emotions which will take you on your wonderful journey within. Eighteen songs fill this release which is instrumented with solo flute and an array of percussion and natural sounds. The solo voice of Windwalker, Michael's sister, is a special highlight celebrating the beauty of the Cherokee language. All original recordings went into this journey which was mainly written and inspired by the Cherokee Trail of Tears journey in the 1830's. As Michael put it, I was in mourning when I conceived this music. It is truly a journey from track 1 to track 17. See if you can feel it and come join in the journey. The final track is a duet with Windwalker and Michael which was captured in it's entirety with a fire being the atmosphere. I wanted to capture the purity of the instrument, states Bill Hartzell, recording engineer and co-producer for the project. |
