Airborne Toxic Event 2

Minds Of Wheels And Metal

Business Of Being Busy

A piece I heard on Ornette Coleman's Soapsuds. A beautiful album of duets with Charlie Haden.

David Adewumi - Trumpet

Someday

The intro of Minds of Wheels and Metal again draws on Ornette Coleman's Someday.
Growing things starts around the 8:00 minute mark but I uploaded them back to back as I had them performed on my recital.

Both of these pieces are originally inspired by a moment in the Lord of the Rings trilogy but, more importantly, by the current state of our society. We all spend far too much time connected more with the artificial world than with the natural one. Interested more in what can be built and purchased and sold than what can be created and grown and nurtured.
