500-Traveler COVER Sherry Finzer Peter Sheridan
"Flutist’s-USA’s Sherry Finzer & Aussie Based Peter Sheridan Team Up"

New Age composer and flutist Sherry Finzer (US), and classical low flute specialist Peter Sheridan (AU) join forces to bring a new and imaginative collaboration called TRAVELER. The album came about after Sherry and Peter performed together several times in a Phoenix based flute choir known as DEF Project (Desert Echoes Flute Project) conducted by Christina Steffen.

Sherry is based in Phoenix, AZ, US, and Peter in Melbourne, Victoria, AU. Sherry has released many previous award winning New Age recordings on her label, Heart Dance Recordings, and Peter many classical recordings receiving accolades on low flutes on the Move Music label, commissioning over 70 compositions for low flutes.

They both brought new and creative ideas to their project, taking listeners on a journey through time, both terrestrial and non-terrestrial. The last track, Joy, leaves listeners with a very memorable and upbeat tune to celebrate the joy of life. Both artists are active members of the USA National Flute Association.

Peter and Sherry plan on touring and performing music from Traveler both in the US and Australia in the summer and fall of 2018.

"Tom Eaton – Indesterren"

Tom Eaton Album Cover

Tom Eaton could most accurately be called ‘the man behind the curtain’ in the field of contemporary instrumental music. That idea is doubly apt – as a producer, engineer, mixer and mastering engineer, Eaton’s skills are viewed as “wizardly” by many of the artists with whom he has worked. While deeply immersed in the folk music scene centered around Boston and Cambridge, MA, a pivotal moment occurred when he met Grammy winner Will Ackerman (founder of the pioneering music label, Windham Hill). The two soon developed a musical sense of simpatico that blossomed into what it is today.

 

Track List:

  1. The Red Blazer (7:16)
  2. Vervagen (6:54)
  3. Gravity (6:35)
  4. Midnight Clouds and the Great Bear (7:15)
  5. Waltz for the Seven Sister (7:14)
  6. Venus (feat. Jeff Oster) (7:04)

"Alexi Musnitsky – Zia"
Alexi Musnitsky (20) is French and American, born in New Mexico and living most of his life in Paris, France. He has been playing piano since the age of 4, trained as a classical pianist in the Russian style by Marina Ravor and won a first prize at the Flame international piano competition. Playing for others started as a young child in Paris, Catalonia and Amsterdam.
His music has been called expressive, bringing out emotion and sensitivity. 4-time Grammy winner Eugene Friesen recorded with Alexi in his album “Zia” produced by Will Ackerman at Imaginary Roads.
The music of Zia will touch your soul and warm your heart. Let your ears listen and your spirit unfold, the music will lead the way. It most certainly worked that way for me while taking this in. 
Keith “MuzikMan” Hannaleck – New Age Music Reviews 

Eloquently restrained and never bombastic in its approach, Zia offers an impressive level of musical maturity and depth for this young talent. Demonstrating a piano playing style that is fluid and supple, Zia is not to be missed by those who particularly enjoy elegant piano music wrapped in wholesome beauty.
