"Kate Bush/Tori Amos feel with an exotic Middle Eastern twist.... a sumptuous affair" - Philadelphia City Paper
"A host of multicultural influences come into play.... Similar in nature -- but not necessarily in style -- to singers like Ofra Haza, Sinead O'Connor and Enya... delicate and ethereal, with a molten core and a clear, strong delivery....hauntingly embracing; there's also a real sense of movement here, which may be due in part to her background as a dancer as well as a musician. You can almost feel a physical expression manifested in the turn of an instrument or a percussive rhythm" - Big Shout

...I saw a wonderful documentary where Messiaen was sitting at the piano and would play a chord and then state the colours he could percieve - quite elaborately, like 'purple with yellow polka-dots', etc. I have only ever met one other musician who had this gift - very unique. I tend to percieve more personality traits when listening to music and therefore astrology has been the concept which has helped me synthesize music's abstract mathematical landscapes into a more tangible realm - for example, the colour RED represents ARIES and has the corresponding ENERGY which can be found in the MAJOR scale and the key of C...
...I really enjoyed the BIRDSONG choreography - particularly the RED dancer: her hand & arm movements were quite pianistic (I wonder if she has ever played?) I am interested in knowing if you represented particular species of birds and how you chose the colours? Are you aware of Messiaen's abilty to see colours in music? Hope I'm not being too nosy...

If you get a chance, please take a listen to our first New Age release "Instrumental Piano Music" by Solo Piano Relaxing Music. We'd love to know what you think of it!
You have surely heard about the tragic death of a brave young woman who was murdered in Iran just for peacefully protesting with her father on the streets of Teheran.
Hi Lacy, I can't believe that I missed you. Thanks for coming out last night. Did you split right after the set. I wish that Carrie could have seen you. Tom
Thanks to you too! You must have opened my page right when I was changing my music. LOL Oh and I love your music! You have a nice voice. Hope things are well.
