Flow

Author: Flow

Details: Product Description

FLOW (Will Ackerman, Fiona Joy, Lawrence Blatt and Jeff Oster) present a fresh, international, acoustic new age sound for a modern world; graceful atmospheric music with a rhythmic ease that transports the listener as each of the eleven sublime tracks melt into the next.
Forty years ago, guitarist/producer Will Ackerman founded Windham Hill, which became a global music phenomenon, with its bountiful legacy of best-selling solo works (George Winston, Liz Story, Alex DeGrassi, Michael Hedges) and award-winning groups like Shadowfax. That magic extends into a truly new age with FLOW, a four-piece ensemble comprised of Grammy-winning guitarist Will Ackerman, and three of today s most acclaimed independent award-winning artists, Australian pianist Fiona Joy, acoustic guitarist Lawrence Blatt and flugelhorn master Jeff Oster.
Recorded, mixed and mastered at Ackerman s Imaginary Road Studios, under the guidance of Ackerman s longtime production partner at Imaginary Road, Tom Eaton, whose contribution the group likens to that of The Fifth Beatle.
Reflecting on FLOW s debut project, Oster says, If you look back into any time of human existence, this need for peaceful breathing and listening has always and will always be deeply important. It s not only New Age music, it is EVERY AGE music!

Review

There was a moment in the process of making FLOW with Fiona, Lawrence and Jeff when I felt a hint of panic that my pieces were being altered and transformed into something very different from what I would have done with them on a Will Ackerman record. It was in the moment just after this thought that I realized that FLOW was actually working... that I was experiencing real synergy. The group had become a creative entity unto itself and four dear friends had gathered to create something beyond anything they could have created on their own. Experiments don t always work. This one worked! --Will Ackerman
