   About Lion
Lion, a consummate musician, performer and composer strikes the rare balance between refined aesthetic and raw passion. A lifelong musician, his music is unusual in its ability to conjure the primacy of the past, yet maintain a percussive and melodic relevance. Perhaps fundamentally, his work is elemental, bringing a natural force to bear upon the listener. A natural evocation, his songs serve as a haunting mix of flesh and spirit, times past and lives present. To listen is to step into a musical alchemy, rich, intense, deep, beautiful, with each instrument calling, speaking, weeping, shouting out to the fiery essence, the extraordinary depth within.

Thanks for the ADD! I loved the piece. It is beautiful. I enjoyed the mix of classical, contemporay and electronic styles. The way it builds definitely tells a story. I closed my eyes while listening to it and imagined two very agile contemporary dancers interpreting the piece. Thanks for sharing your site. Hope to talk to you soon.
