I performed this improvised journey for a private audience in Umbria, Italy in 2000. The timbre of the concert slightly resembled my music during the era of Trances & Drones and Inner Landscapes, but with some of the tools that allow the thicker harmonic excursions such as on Calling Down the Sky. This very special event contained a focused warm energy that resonated for days.

My performance rig was very minimal for this concert. I carried what little gear I could on the airplane to Italy. I had flutes, steel guitar, one keyboard, looping delay. I borrowed a synth and mixer from Gigi. Energy mattered most here. The listeners and I shaped the journey together. I think this document of that journey conveys something special.
