Shepherd's Pipe is a live recording from our Odd-Ditties performance back in August of 2011. It's one of 18 live improvisations featured on our new recording "Amicus Music Duo Live: Improvisations"

Thank you to artist Mia Weinberg for sharing her art with us (Threading the paths of my synapses II"). It served both as an inspiration for the track "Bella Mia" and is used for the cover on the new CD. See more of her gorgeous art at www.miaweinberg.com

Shepherd's Pipe

My passion is beauty in all forms but my primary expression is through music. I'm a bit unusual in that I am a classically trained pianist who loves to improvise. I am also fascinated by sound and the science behind sound. 

I have created a unique business called Under the Piano which combines the emotional, aesthetic and psychological elements of music with the physics of sound. When individuals or couples lie under my piano I create an improvised concert of music. The vibrations of the music envelope and pass through the listener and have a profoundly relaxing and frequently therapeutic effect. They experience listening with their bodies. This is why I call it a Sound Spa for Body, Mind & Soul. http://www.UnderThePiano.ca

When I am not doing Under the Piano, I am composing or performing with the Amicus Music Duo. Our performances are an exploration into how context can change the listener's experience of music. Our performances are designed for living rooms and small intimate venues which open up the possibility for conversation and greater connection between the listener, the musician and the music.

Beauty does make a difference. I am committed to creating an awareness of the rising noise pollution in our environments and empowering people to create and ask for beautiful soundscapes in their lives. I explore conversations about music and sound on my blog http://craigaddy.com
