Newest (3rd) Album

(physical CDs available in person)

This music was recorded over a couple of years in various places; a yoga studio on a windy spring day, a forest deck during a break in a summer rain, a cozy loft in the middle of a snow storm and other wild places.
Most of these tracks are spur of the moment creations or original tunes that have grown out of improvisations. “Last Star” is an original tune that shapeshifts every time I play it. As for the repetitions of O’Carolan’s Farewell, what can I say? I love the song.
Performed on Alto Flute, Low Penny Whistle in F, Sycamore Diatonic Rim-Blown Flute (inspired by the Ancestor Pueblo Flute), Maple Baroque Flute, Wood Penny Whistle in D, Copper High Penny Whistle in F and Concert Flute.
Accompanied by cicadas, tree frogs, distant birds and one curious yellow-jacket.

Second Album

A while ago, a friend of mine was telling me about her new garden. It was in the country across the road from a forest. It made her happy just seeing it. It overflowed with life as if little spirits were peeping out around the tomatoes, morning glories and grass. Even the bugs that ate plants down to the ground had a magic to them although that didn’t make them less of a nuisance. The garden became a nursery for nature devas, a safe place for them to gain strength as they step, roll and rush out into the world. This got me thinking about waking the devas, fairies, nature spirits in the world around us. Drawing them into the cracks in our lives and letting them run wild. Messy sometimes but more than worth it for all the joy they bring.

First Album

In Greek Mythology, Amaltheia is a nymph or a goat who raised Zeus the God of thunder. Pan, half God half Goat, is the God of the wilderness. There are many different stories of Pan’s birth and antics. As the son of Amaltheia’s goat, Pan was raised in a cave with Zeus. Another story says Pan and Arcas were the twin sons of Zeus and Callisto a nymph who was changed into a bear. In yet another story, Pan helped Zeus after his sinews were stolen by the guardian of the sacred oracle at Delphi. Pan often plays a panpipe or a syrinx that can put anyone to sleep. A Labyrinth is a maze with only one path in and out. The version often seen in Crete, where Zeus and Pan were said to have been raised, has seven corridors.
The four notes F G C and E-flat are a call to Pan according to some. All the pieces on this album relate to these notes.
