With MOONWATER (63'26"), Rudy Adrian celebrates the touching
and easy moods of environmental musical fantasy. This work
hopes to take the listener out of the real world, and all its
uncertainty and isolation, and into Adrian's personal Eden. The
nine idyllic compositions are quieting to the mind and envision a
harmonious and tame nature. Adrian unitizes a number of
interesting methods to portray and convey his convictions
including, native flute, field recordings, lilting piano melodies,
pleasant synthesizer tones and his own voice, all routed through
cavernous reverberation. The grandeur of MOONWATER's
consonant harmonies is grounded by detailed and imaginative
electronic modulations just beneath an aural glow which seems
to surround each composition. The result is beautifully flowing
and transporting music, contemplative for the mind yet warming
to the heart.

Tune in to STAR'S END this weekend for music from
