Search - Ricky Tims :: Sacred Age

"An album this good should travel the globe for a long time." -THE CHRONICLE NEWS "This time out, [Tims] is in the company of American Indian musicians playing flute, guitar, deer toes, and bladder shakers. Who can resist that?" -DENVER POST "Whether the concert was performed at ASU West ? or in the Virginia Piper Theater in the Mesa Art Center, listeners were spellbound at the talent that is Ricky Tims." -AZ QUILTERS GUILD "Ricky Tims is known in the international world of quilting as an enthusiastic and encouraging teacher, an award-winning quilter, and a talented and spellbinding speaker ? [but] quilting is a relatively new interest compared to Ricky?s lifelong passion for music. His blend of music and quilting is unique and remarkable." -AMI SIMMS, MALLERY PRESS This piano/orchestral album, infused with the mysticism of Native American instruments, features original music that expresses the magic and majesty of the mountains and the southwest region of the United States. From the opening bars of the meditative "Dreamcatcher," into the pulsating and hypnotic rhythms of "Dance," through the upbeat "La Veta Loca," this collection reflects many moods. The music is pensive and meditative, yet rhythmic and cinematic in scope. Neither classical, new age, nor world, it is nevertheless appropriate for each genre. The instrument combinations and quality production make this CD in a class of its own! Every track features haunting melodies and unforgettable imagery. The depth and sensitivity of Tims?s music is unique and fresh. Formally trained as a concert pianist, Tims also unleashed his artistic energies on quilting just nine short years ago and is now well known in quilting circles.
