Bassist Brett Schmid and Producer/Percussionist Pete Barnhart ask the musical question, what if we decide to change the story ? Instead of melody as the usual narrative for plot, rhythm and sound sculpting take the listener through setting and character to expose emotionality. Sometimes tranquil,then percussively driving, Changing stories takes us from sketched outline to 10 realized chapters that answer the original inquiry.
...Gaia Aum reaches starward to crystalize the voice that is within all of us, the universal hum, the tone of creation...
...Join Pete on a Kaliesque fire trance dance where “More Songs...” hopes to remind Us of how long we’ve been jammin’ and how little the tune has changed....
...you will be serenaded along the way with the entrancing sounds of the Hang, a new instrument that speaks with the novelty of a new acquaintance and the familiar voice of an old soul...
first there is a world,
then there is no world,
then there is.
