The Exquisite Now

George Wallace

A Special Mention from the Artist: While I love ALL my 'children', this album 'The Exquisite Now' happens to be my personal favorite of all my 'ambient' works.

Wondrous, cinematic soundworlds and tone poems, woven with inspired combinations of orchestral and acoustic instruments, electronica, and sounds from the natural world.

A Special Mention from the Artist: While I love ALL my 'children', this album 'The Exquisite Now' happens to be my personal favorite of all my 'ambient' works.

Wondrous, cinematic soundworlds and tone poems, woven with inspired combinations of orchestral and acoustic instruments, electronica, and sounds from the natural world.

The tracks are presented as a series of ‘conversations’ between and among the instruments. It’s rather similar to how symphonies are put together – not featuring one instrument or one section for very long – but more about the ‘ensemble’, all together, over several movements.

Please note that in purchasing the entire album (as opposed to just a few cuts) you will hear the crossfades that occur between some of the tracks. In this way you may experience the album with an enhanced sense of continuity.

Peace & Blessings, G W

Light Music

George Wallace

Clocking in at over 70 minutes, Light Music is comprised of nine instrumental compositions, each presenting a rich, mind-altering delicacy, where no two pieces are exactly alike but where each complements the others and supports the continuum.

Clocking in at over 70 minutes, Light Music is comprised of nine instrumental compositions, each presenting a rich, mind-altering delicacy, where no two pieces are exactly alike but where each complements the others and supports the continuum.

In creating the soundscapes of Light Music, George Wallace uses a wide array of instruments both real and virtual, ‘Western’ and indigenous - resulting in exquisitely exotic mixtures of tonal colors and textures underscored with harmonically rich, cinematic washes of other-worldly synthesizers and ambient effects.

His soundstages often include trademark elements of melody (ranging from jazz-influenced to post-modern pop to microtonal, Asian, and Arabic modalities) and compelling rhythm, further contributing to and defining his iconoclastic approach to composing within the larger ‘Ambient/Space/Tribal/Trance’ context.

From the Primal to the Celestial: Music for Immersion and Deep Listening

The mystical music of Soul Ascending takes us to a place beyond mere emotion and on to a realm of pure being. Using a generous palette of real and virtual instruments both Western and exotic, George combines elements of melody, percussion, and soaring, complex harmony (with the presence of bells across several octaves throughout) in ever-varying proportions, designed for induction of altered states of awareness. In places it is calming - even hypnotic - without being overly repetitive; at other times we are spellbound by powerful ensembles of tribal drums and voices, simultaneously borrowing from the celestial future and the primal past.

Soul Ascending is uncompromised, adventurous music crafted for meditation, resonance, and deep listening. This is indeed wild, enriched sound, sometimes tender, always intense, of-and-for the spirit - quite literally soul music, offered as a bona-fide auditory happening, a wide-screen experience of exotic places and times well beyond this one.

Sacred Earth is a musical experience of the primordial elements – Earth, Air, Fire, and Water – comprised of lush, ethereal soundscapes, combining the sounds of electronic and acoustic instruments with backdrops of natural ambiences.

Frontiers is an experience of travel, of motion through time as well as space. This alluring collection of expansive aural environments is a fresh, atmospheric mixture of electronic and acoustic instrumentation, imbued with sparkling musical motifs, luminous textures and organic ambiences blended so artfully that we are not sure from moment to moment whether we’re hearing pure music…or the music of pure nature.

Throughout Frontiers there are the sounds of electric violin, bagpipes, tamboura, gentle percussions, and some not-so-gentle. We can hear at various times the influences of Jan Hammer, Wendy Carlos, Weather Report, and Bill Nelson, as well as renowned space musicians Jonn Serrie, Michael Stearns, and Steve Roach. Whether it be through the sounds of a jazz-tinged ensemble piece, shimmering, interstellar spacecraft, an orchestral passage in full-rejoice, or a simple piano melody played against a wall of stunningly beautiful harmonics, the soaring, visionary music of Frontiers promises to intrigue and enrich us.

Traveller 

Traveller has few answers, fewer questions still 

yet keeping vigil walks the Shenandoah hills 

where ever-higher spires greet the rising sun 

where temple-rivers drop to depths of souls unfound 

and thus to last deliverance at the Shrine of God 

smiling down radiant rays ‘cross darkened Traveller’s face 

as hardened men will weep, so gentle forests shall rejoice 

is it a curse or blessing gives us choice? 

then in a twinkling of his tear-drowned eye 

Traveller sees the secret of that outer reach 

the sphinx at last reveals the How and Why 

that was for age on age its sacred guard 

his ship’s come home, the last great sanctuary 

safe in the holy frontiers of his wandering heart
