Thank you for listening…I am currently writing my third Album, hopefully due out by winter 08. I will be teaming up again with ROA records masters Monica Rabino and Tyler Wehmeier. I am also in the process of forming a band to play embellished versions of older songs, along with current writings. So far I have an amazing violin player Rachel Miller and the very talented Mrs.Rabino on piano. Look for upcoming shows here…. “Oh, music is the meat of all who love. Music uplifts the soul to realms above. The ashes glow, the latent fires increase. We listen and are fed with joy and peace.” Mawlawi Rumi- “I hunger for your sleek laugh and your hands the color of a furious harvest. I want to eat the sunbeams flaring in your beauty.” Pablo Neruda * * * * * And like a dying star is every work of your virtue: its light is always still on its way and it wanders and when will it no longer be on its way? and thus the light of your virtue is still on its way even when the work has been done. Though it be forgotten and dead, the ray of its light still lives and wanders. that your virtue is your self and not something foreign, a skin, a cloak, that is the truth from the foundation of your souls, you who are virtuous. Friedrich Nietzsche~ * * * ‘If you’re really listening, if you’re awake to the poignant beauty of the world, your heart breaks regularly. In fact, your heart is made to break; its purpose is to burst open again and again so that it can hold ever-more wonders." Andrew Harvey ** * * a review: Jessica Dye’s music extends beyond this planet. It is the first music ever to be transmitted into outer space. It would take the mystics a million more years to figure out the melodic wave patterns you need to achieve in order to blast your message far beyond the celestial bodies and into the outer reaches where sonic clarity is an actual place. You only have to listen once to believe. I can remember this. I was driving in my car, listening to Jessica’s latest CD entitled, “Sacred Code.” I came to a railroad track just as the song, “Dark Rhythms,” began to play. The bells started to ring and the gates came down as if there was a train coming, but there was no train. Instead, the sonic textures, swells, acoustic guitars playing succulent chords behind a crystalline voice, made it seem as though there was a space craft with blinking lights desceneding upon me, and i was transported into some strange land where there are no such things as loud, obnoxious trains. Songs like, “Something Beautiful,” and “Undone,” are instant souveniers that you will want to share with your alien friends. Make sure to sample some of the songs…. and as you do, make sure your schedule is clear. Maybe I’ll see ya out there.
