"The whole of life in all its aspects is one single music; and the real spiritual attainment is to tune oneself to the harmony of this perfect music." From: The Sufi Message of Hazrat Inayat Khan, the Mysticism of Sound.

These are exquisite improvisations, drawn from the pianist’s skills as a composer for film and video and as a lifetime performer. Over years of sharing his improvisational recordings with friends, he began to see how the mystical aspects of his music magnetized listeners. With Spring Is In The Poet, he has drawn upon the rich textures of the natural world to create an emotional landscape: one with stillness in its rhythms, one with activity in its ambiance. These Eastern- and Western-influenced tracks range from raga-like meditations to folk dance to jazz solos, bringing us to our own mystical place in the unfolding story. The Sufi mystic, Hazrat Inayat Khan, spoke of “When the artist loses himself in his art, then the art comes to life”, and Sill has found a way to invoke the shared aspiration of humans – to bring our unexpressed inner world to life as music.
