ON THE BRINK #19 PIANO IMPROVISATIONS INSPIRED BY DOUBTFUL SOUND by jeff-benthic published on 2013-04-23T09:27:23Z This show, recorded at Pines Beach, near Kaiapoi on the south island of New Zealand, is 58 minutes of piano improvisations inspired by my recent visits to Doubtful Sound and Deep Cove in Fiordland of New Zealand. In the background you may hear the sound wind, surf and rain, as I had the door open while I was recording. This music comes closer than any words to expressing and conveying how I felt when I was there and how I still feel now after having been there. Dramatic landscapes, towering mountains, deep fiords, water in massive amounts, torrential rain, gushing falls, dense vegetation, hanging valleys, huge trees and tree-ferns, playful dolphins, very nice people, deep peace, serenity, tranquility and solitude...yet a sense of urgency, a sense of the unknown, a sense of the beauty and power of being here now on Mothership Earth. A sense of transcendence and of gratitude, of love for all of life, mitakuye oyasin, and for our own tiny drop of Star-maker. Genre radio show
