Synopsis

Product Description
Debut recording by the Kevin Keller Ensemble (english horn, strings, piano, harp, percussion) of Keller's new contemporary ballet In Absentia. This deeply emotional work deals with absence, loss, and ultimately, acceptance. It is Keller's most visceral and immediate work to date, exploring a style he calls 'pure expressionism'. This will appeal to fans of Philip Glass, John Tavener, and Arvo Part.

Nothing more to say, only to feel and experience this breath of life coursing through our veins... breath of life becoming wind wings on winds *Seeing* feeling listening to this non-stop, this story of Life. This is music you can feel, you can hold in your hands. Music come to life as if on a stage in your mind. The dancers come one by one and fill the air with sound of feet and hands clapping drifting drifting colored curtains blowing billowing coming down... One of the best downloads I've purchased in a long, long time. Gracias a Dios for this reason to live and to know why we live and how we manage to live. This music is gorgeous, stunning, moving, evocative, feeling, underworld, overworld, universal, spirit and flight, deep longing and ocean depths. Birds flying blue sky white clouds flying, flying overhead sunning stunning my world brought to light, this painting with sound and light. Vibrations of the unseen world brought to life. My world as a part of life. All. Circle going round and round and round at long last peace."
Memorial Music
Christopher Albright | Baton Rouge, LA United States | 11/16/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"From the opening notes, one feels a sad sense of longing & deep personal loss. This music is written to memorialize the artist's father-in-law who disappeared without a trace. It is a rich tapestry of notes which swell & diminish in a tearful dance of forms to tempt the ear of listeners. If one has sustained a family loss, this might be a powerful tool to lessen the experience. Even on a surface level, the CD offers a wealth of good listening moments & is highly recommended to all."

"This music is incredibly beautiful. I enjoy a lot of all types of music, from opera and classical to country and rap. This is some of the best I have ever heard. It just gets more beautiful every time I listen to it."
