Sacred Earth by George Wallace
Sacred Earth is an evocative, one-hour musical experience of the primordial elements Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. The four electro-acoustical movements offer a mix of lush, ethereal soundscapes, intense and drum-driven shamanistic chanting, and airy, sweetly hypnotic meditations.
Sacred Earth was my first venture into what has been called ‘Ambient’ music, or if you must, ‘New Age’. Before that I was primarily involved in various sub-genres of popular and rock music. There are a number of artists who inspired me to move past the currency of the Popular Song and explore a more long-form compositional style, but for now I am singling out four of those who were particularly influential.
So…many thanks and humble acknowledgement go to Brian Eno, Peter Gabriel, Wendy Carlos, and Jade Warrior, for their pioneering spirit and artistic integrity, and for helping me to expand my musical universe.
