Colorado-based
New Earth does such excellent work when it comes to releasing CDs
by their celebrated roster of New Age musicians so its never
unexpected when one of their artists comes up with another winner.
Long celebrated as one of the finest piano virtuosos and one of the
most prolific recording artists in the world today, Peter Kater
released his first as a New Earth recording artist with his 2016
album Resonance. Playing piano, synths, gongs,
chimes and sampled strings, Kater is in prime form on Resonance.
Following Katers involvement in over 50 albums as a solo
artist and musical collaborator, Resonance is long and flowing,
with four of the eight tracks running over nine minutes in length.
The artist explains, This music emerged within a three-month
period of deep inquiry and reflection. Kater explains his
musical vision on Resonance adding, It was born of
the fire and ashes of self-dissolution and self-discovery, of a deep
longing for connection and sustained intimacy, and a powerful surrender
into and acceptance of what is. There is love and there
is fear. There is light and there is darkness. And as we learn to
embrace all of our selves and all of each other, we nurture the experience
of grace and compassion, and a deep loving and passionate peace. Throughout
our lifes experience, within ourselves and each other, we share
a deep resonance with all that exists. In the
CD liner notes, RJ Lannan compares Peter Katers music
to the search for balance in a precarious world. Instrumental New
Age music has long been a refuge for sensitive souls seeking salvation
through music and as Lannan also states, through his music, Kater
allows people to withdraw from the craziness and channel
into feelings of beauty and compassion, which is really what Kater
and New Earth Records is all about. Peter Kater has come a long way
since his 1983 album debut and he takes his music and his audience
to new sonic heights with Resonance. www.newearthrecords.com
