Description: This subtle and sublime recording of acoustic and electric guitars focus on a purity of tone, clarity of harmony, and counterpoint of melody to achieve a tender lyricism. David Modica brings us into a Zen-like musical garden of textures and sounds - as if entering into an instrumental prayer of harmony, balance and deep emotion. Modica, as always, moves easily from one composition to the next displaying his unique and tender touch on both acoustic and electric guitar.
Starting with "Wings" - one definitely feels lifted into another realm - a journey is about to begin... and on it goes weaving in and out of textures, moods and atmospheres. The last song on this album is the traditional "Amazing Grace" which gives the project a true sense of closure and leaves the listener wanting to stay in this musical meditation of spirit, surrender and peace.
