Details.
The feeling one gets being deeply rooted to a place can have powerful effects sparking the imagination and setting creativity into motion. Many of the pieces on this recording were inspired by my travels around Hawai`i. Some were inspired by new settings for me during journeys abroad. Mele Pana, or songs of place, are an important part of the repertoire of music from Hawai`i and have guided me time and time again as I discover new ways of expressing my aloha for this precious land. Even when I have traveled far from home I still feel a connection to my island roots. I offer this music with deep gratitude to the islands and people of Hawai`i for shaping the landscape of my soul and being the source of so much of my musical inspiration.
