Search - Conni St.Pierre :: Between the branches: Legends of the Wild

The second album in Conni St.Pierre's ambient "Legends" series, "Between the Branches: Legends of the Wild", reflects her connection to the forest, the mountains, and rivers. It celebrates the beauty, abundance, and diversity of woods and wildlife. Conni creates the musical details of a legendary mountain landscape with meditational instruments such as the Japanese shakuhachi, which requires focus and stillness to play, and cinematic keyboard collages with hauntingly resonant alto flute melodies. From a shimmer of sunlight on the river, to a butterfly landing on a wildflower, to the peeping of frogs on a spring evening - these songs evoke the spirit of the wild but tranquil forest. "Between the Branches" is a relaxing and calming listening experience, like breathing in the forest.
