As David A. Powers
David A. Powers: Return to Andromeda
Inspired by Susan Brind Morrow's THE DAWNING MOON OF MIND: Unlocking the Pyramid Texts, the music takes listeners on a journey into the depths of outer space, unfolding within the ecstatic liminal spaces and dark astral temples of the cosmic imagination.
David A. Powers: Catacombs
From the depths of hell a dirge erupts. A lone man sits at a piano and plays the blues. His eyes are infernal black holes, crawling with chaos. His fingers unleash weird melodies and symphonic nightmares as they leap from key to key...
David A. Powers: The Redemption of Sophia
The Redemption of Sophia is my first solo piano recording. It was recorded in 2012, out of an empty storefront in Humboldt Park, Chicago. The piano was a beat up white baby grand. My friend Kyle Klipowicz used two mics to record the live sound of the room directly into his portable recorder.
The pieces "Infinite Shades of Blue" and "Temple of the Jade Dragon" juxtapose composed and improvised material. The other pieces were spontaneously improvised on the spot. The entire session was done live in a single take.
