Lite Roast
Lite Roast in Verdi's A (remastered in 432hz) features Jim on guitar with an Ebow, (an electric device that simulates a bow to give the guitar an ethereal sound; allowing it to mimic strings, horns, and woodwinds. ) and Bettie on accordion (played in a drone style). With additional keyboard Synthesizers and nature sounds to fill out the production.
The music was inspired by the beauty of the Ojai valley in southern California; and cultivated during live performances at local markets and Meditation Mount, one of the finest meditation retreats on the western coast. The song, "Ojai Birds", features the gentle song of morning birds recorded spontaneously one day near the river bottom, in the town of Miner's Oaks, west of Ojai.
Beloved for relaxation and by the healing arts community for Yoga, Sound Meditation, Qi Gong and others.. It has been praised for its ability to ease one into a more relaxed state; helping the transition from full consciousness to a place more suitable for transcendence.
Please take a moment to have a listen for yourself, and enjoy a minute of peace in an otherwise hectic world.
When Jim and Bettie , along with their family, were faced with a mandatory evacuation from where they were living and working in Malibu during the 2018 Woolsey Fire, Kevin Wallace, director of the Beatrice Wood Center for the Arts, offered to house them at the Center, which led to an impromptu artist residency. The opportunity to utilize the piano at the Center – a German Steinway custom-made for famed classical pianist Lili Kraus – as well as Wallace’s Korg Synthesizer, led to numerous new compositions. 60 minutes relaxing piano with Ebow guitar.
