about

The music on the album has a biographical quality to it. It includes melodies created at the piano and captured on tape or simply in Sarah’s memory - at various times between the ages of 9 and 18. Inspiration for Sarah’s music frequently emerges from the emotional traffic of day to day experience. It is both thematic and emotive.

As with life, the music breathes. The compositions themselves have occurred (as what Sarah describes as “music in her head”) in such diverse places as a beach in Mexico, homeward bound on a plane in the air, or as improvisations in the recording studio.

The work on this recording was done courtesy of the High Desert Playhouse in Joshua Tree, California. It represents a collaborative effort between Sarah, at the piano, and Steve Lester of New Moon Records, whose recording genius brought it all to life. The final product owes itself to both.
