Band MembersElizabeth Anne Middleton, composer and pianist.
..
InfluencesGrowing up on a farm in the Flint Hills of Kansas gave Elizabeth a deep love of nature and an opportunity for her intuitional and observational gifts to flower. Surrounded by a family of musicians and by the sound of music, she began a serious study of piano at a young age. She studied clarinet, playing first chair in band and orchestra throughout high school, and sang with a clear and lilting soprano voice in choral groups and as a soloist. She majored in voice at the School of Fine Arts, University of Kansas, in Lawrence, KS, and then studied piano with Nigel Coxe, receiving a music degree from the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, MA. Rather than embarking on a career as a classical performing artist, Elizabeth chose working to restore treaties to the American Indians, in Boston, MA, and Woodstock, NY. She was a co-founder of the Eightfold Council, based on the spiritual and governmental principles of the Iroquois Confederacy (Six Nations). She was impassioned by this work and its association with Oren Lyons, chief of the Onondaga, the Firekeepers of the Six Nations, wise elders among the original American people and world leaders, educators, historians and scientists who participated at Eightfold Council meetings. It was said that we would have an entirely different technology today if our government leaders considered the well-being of all living beings now and for generations to come, one of the principles of the Six Nations. Elizabeth began writing songs about animals - whales, dolphins, eagles, buffalo, wolves and more - and the natural world. As “Octavia Neptune,” she sang these songs, accompanying herself with autoharp and backing tapes as opening act on Daevid Allen’s U.S. tour in 1980. These songs have been recently remastered at Tantrum Studios. For two decades, while these life experiences were germinating and laying groundwork for her current sensitivities as a composer, Elizabeth was occupied with raising her baby daughter, teaching piano with a full schedule of students, accompanying choral groups and solo artists, and working as music director in churches and in children’s theater. She also studied vibrational or energetic healing, became a Reiki Master, and earned a doctorate degree from the American Institute of Holistic Theology. Her main interest in healing is healing the earth. In 2003, she released her first CD of acoustic piano music, PIANORAMA, and in 2006, her second CD, PIANORAMA II: Ode to the Satellite, recorded in Albuquerque, NM, by Philip Vaandrager. Elizabeth lives in Santa Barbara, CA, where she resided nearly a year during her travels in the early 1980s. In 2006, she met Sjoerd Koppert, owner of Tantrum Records and Studios, who began recording her music for acoustic grand piano at Tantrum Studios in Montecito, CA. Tantrum Records is announcing its first release of Elizabeth’s acoustic piano music, Tracks on the Moon. Elizabeth writes music with a motive to raise awareness of the beauty of the earth and to compel compassion for its exploitation. One of the astronauts in Ron Howard’s documentary film, In the Shadow of the Moon, stated that we must take care of our fragile planet, so vulnerable and exquisite as seen from outer space. The music for Tracks on the Moon commemorates an epic achievement and a time of great hope for humanity, as it was perceived by millions of people around the world.
Sounds LikeAcoustic piano music, classically structured, impressionistic and filled with imagery. People are saying: “Elizabeth is . . . a true classical composer with the ability to channel Chi through her music. Her music and healing go together hand in hand like two very good friends” - Anna Wolfe, singer/songwriter, Nashville, TN, http://www.annawolfe.com / ". . . truly American - in the best sense" - Nigel Coxe, professor emeritus, Department of Music, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, MA / "very mathematical . . . in a similar way to some of Scott Joplin's more complex works but much more diverse . . ." - Greg Barrette, Senior Minister, Renaissance Unity Church, Warren, MI ________________________________________________________   I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)

Paul Weston Arts web link coming soon!!

“My Cat.”

“My cat leaps around the garden fence
Pouncing on anything that moves
There’s no defence
Sleeps for hours and sometimes days
Bathing in the summer rays
Hibernating in the winter cold
Prowling, howelling meowing so bold
My cat is quick, sleek, reactions unique
If I ever return as a bird or a mouse then I am going to leave my house
When I am due to travel away my cat sulks for days
Moody before and then turns his back as I return to the door
Feeding him food from a tin
Is considered by my feline friend a cardinal sin
He sits and looks at me in disgust
This is not what I want for my breakfast.
“Give me lean chicken, salmon or fresh beluga
Or I’ll slash the side of your chair like Freddy Kruger
My claws are sharp I will reduce your coat
To the texture and look of an old Nanny goat
I go to sit in my favourite chair
In front of the fire and guess whose there!
Asleep in my bed I awake with surprise
As a purring nose pokes me straight in the eyes!
I now understand the word perfection
Is all about my cats affection
Even when he wreaks the place I live
A look from those saucer green eyes makes me forget and forgive.
My cat has a spiritual link, a supernatural perception
Something that humans have no connection
I can only watch look and admire all of that
Oh…I forgot to mention.
My cat is
An
Acrobat.”

Hi Elizabeth ~ I meant to come by earlier but I've been out of sorts from the loss of our very kind and great maestro José Miguel Sánchez and juggling too much lately... I wanted to tell you though, that the beautiful synergy which you and ClassicBeamer are creating is magical. But your solo piano pieces are brilliant compositions as well :o) Always so inspiring to hear any of these!

Hi Elizabeth, We're getting a real chill in the air here that lets us know the holidays are will quickly be upon us. I had to stop by in enjoy your lovely piece "Christmas Lights" again because it so beautifully evokes the images of all the colored, bright, blinking lights that are already starting to go up around the neighborhood light up our dark autumn nights. Thanks for sharing this seasonal joy through your music!

All the best,

Your friend Alice Kim

Sending you million of love and passion across the pacific. Passion was a gift from the feather civilisation (bird humaniod form) during the ancient times. And now millenium had passed and we are occasionally visited by these beautiful beings. Our legends had these beings recorded as deity or spiritual one descended from the skies. So as to say, most of the ancient legends about Giant, Unicorn, Fairy, etc were real and was walking on the surface of Earth.

PS : I seen a beautiful bird spirit in my home lately. This is the first time I am seeing animal spirit, usually I saw human or ghoul like spirits previously.

With million of love from Singapore.
