STREAMING WISDOM
(1981) This music, Allaudin’s first solo piano recording, celebrates the intelligence of streaming air and water.
From the liner notes: “If only we could see the air it would look like music sounds. Sometimes when dark birds fly against the sky the air does become visible. Then flocks of birds are like chords, and their flight patterns bring out the harmonies of the atmosphere.”
All tracks on this album, except “Boundary Variations” are on the compilation album Streaming Wisdom / In the Wind. “Boundary Variations” can be found on the album Second Nature.
IN THE WIND
(1983) These rhythmic acoustic piano pieces, often multitracked, originated as improvisations and evolved into compositions that sometimes sound like a small keyboard orchestra.
All tracks on this album, except “Lost Chords” are on the compilation album Streaming Wisdom / In the Wind. We hope to make that track available as a digital download soon.
LISTENING TO EVENING
(1986) This music recreates the long, powerful moment when male and female forces are balanced between sun and moon. It was originally released on the Sona Gaia label by Narada. Gorgeous piano sound.
We hope to make this album available as a digital download soon.
AVAILABLE LIGHT
(1987) Released by Windham Hill, this CD contains the hit “To the Well” with Bobby McFerrin, along with 11 other tracks.
