The overall vibe I was going for was that this album would give you peace and hope for the future.

Into the Green - Album (432Hz - No Forest)

Let Palouse smooth out the kinks in your day.

At home, school, or the office, Palouse will relax you with grooves and melodies designed to reduce stress.

10 tracks (52 minutes) of smooth jazz in the classic Kevin B. Selby style. The album is piano-heavy, yet it still allows room for electric piano, acoustic guitar, and synthesizer melodies and solos built upon solid drum and bass grooves.

The gorgeous cover art picture was graciously provided by Jane Loughney, a local Washington state photographer. Many many thanks to Ms. Loughney!!

This version is a "matrix mix": pure piano (digital audio from CP88 into MacBook Pro running Logic Pro X) mixed with a stereo recording (Zoom H4N Pro placed ~20 yards out) of what the forest "heard" (through Yamaha HS80M studio monitors placed on the forest floor).

Cabin Medley

Cabin Medley (432Hz)

This is a rather simple song that just made me think of a cat (or kitten) chasing around a butterfly in a forest meadow somewhere.

Cat and Butterfly

Cat And Butterfly (432Hz - No Forest)

This is certainly a bombastic and bangy little tune. It’s meant to show the listener that true freedom never sleeps, is always seeking the ascendency, and cannot be stamped out.

Freedom Cry

Freedom Cry (432Hz - No Forest)

The precision of this song simply made me think of schedules and how we are tied to and ruled by them. I like on the non-matrixed version, the previous track barely finishes and Schedules takes off. Yep. That’s how schedules are!

Schedules

Schedules (432Hz - No Forest)

This track (and the entire album quite frankly) was going to be about something completely different. God had different plans. After we essentially abandoned the gerbil-wheel American dream way of life, God showered us with land, a 5th wheel, a truck (love me my truck!) and a desire to get out “into the green”. So there you have it.

Into the Green (432Hz - No Forest)

Ms. Chi-Sai was a beautiful, petite Shiba Inu. She looked just like a little fox. I will try to upload a picture soon. We will probably also include video of this cute little thing in the official YouTube video.

Chi Sai

Chi Sai (432Hz - No Forest)

There is a street named “B-Street” close to the WSU campus. It winds through a few fraternity and sorority houses, goes past “The Coug” (a favorite student hang-out) and ends up near the “Bookie” (student bookstore) on one side of the campus. My friends and I lived in an apartment complex on B-Street and hiked up the small hill to go to school each day. My future wife Kathy and her friends lived upstairs. I remember coming back to the apartment at lunch every day for my favorite soup and sandwich whilst watching “Days of our Lives” (yes…you read that right). We also had a cat named Todi Bellini who loved to roam the neighborhood and cause trouble.

Palouse

B-Street

Bryan Tower is a building containing a huge clock located in the heart of the WSU campus. You can see Bryan Tower when you start coming down the hill into Pullman. I remember having an Economics 201 class in that building. The clock rings solidly every hour to alert students of the time and that they’d better get to their next class.

Bryan Tower

This track takes me back to hard weeks of college and that nice feeling you got when you knew you’d be driving home to Mom and Dad for the weekend. Great food (woo hoo!!) and a chance to catch them up on the goings-on at the University. The drive from Pullman to Tri-Cities is a pretty one. I won’t say we obeyed the speed limit religiously and I also won’t recall the time we outran the stater, pulled around a corner and went off-road and hid behind a row of trees. I will also try very hard not to remember the fun we had with a box of a classmates garden tomatoes and oncoming vehicles.

Goin' Home

This track is reminiscent of the summer of 2007 when we transported my son Jeff back and forth to the Boy Scout camp Grizzly near Harvard, Idaho. Sometimes his brother Tom came along and then it was the three of us against the world. It literally took nearly a full day to get him up there and for us to get back home. Along the way we would drive through Pullman, WA and Moscow, ID (there’s a very nice skateboard park in Moscow!) and of course the entire Palouse country. We survived on junk food and energy drinks and had a great time. It was one of those father/son kind of things. Mom’s probably wouldn’t understand.

Day Trip

Part of what makes the Palouse section of Washington so beautiful are the miles and miles of farmland and wineries. This track reminds me of all those hard working families out there working the land, driving their huge tractors and combines over their acreage harvesting the food that us city-dwellers love to eat.

Harvest

This track is reminiscent of weekends at home when friends that haven’t seen each other for awhile are reunited. After high school, many friendships are tested as people go to different colleges and/or different directions in life. It’s a bittersweet kind of thing and the music reflects this feeling.

I Saw You

This track reveals the heartaches and travails of college romance. And that’s all I have to say about that!

Lonely Travels

This track was an experiment with acoustic piano and how it blends with the cello. I have an entire video sequence planned out in my head where two musicians in two different practice rooms in the same building hear each other playing their part and each feels like they are half of a complete whole. They each keep stopping at certain times to listen to the other one play and finally one of them sneaks into the other one’s practice room and they play the song together, alternating the melody back and forth. Now I just need to find a real live cello player and someone with a video camera!

Rain

his song has an interesting history. I wrote it way back in 1987 about the “little red-haired girl next door” who wouldn’t stay out of my dreams. I then played it in various bands throughout the 90s. Finally, during the summer of 2007 myself and Scott Wilburn (founder of the Baja Blues Band) had a string of gigs at a local Bonefish Grill and since we record our every performance, by the end of the summer we had plenty of versions of this song to choose from for this album. I listened intently to all the versions and chose the one with the least warts (performed on August 31st, 2007). The harmonica-like solo you hear in the middle of the song is actually a Melodica, which is kind of a cross betwixt a harmonica and an accordion. You are hearing almost exactly what the crowd heard that night since I recorded the performance to a simple stereo track and did not do any post-performance mix down.

I began classical piano lessons at age 6 and continued to age 16. Somewhere around age 14 I got into big band jazz and then the typical pop of the 70s/80s. After college I joined a men’s bible study and really got into old school hymns. Along the way I wrote many solo piano tunes (and some instrumental jazz as well). At this point in my life I am mostly interested in providing gentle, yet inspiring tunes for folks, whether it’s an old hymn or a newer sounding solo piano tune, my hope is that this music blesses and encourages you in these crazy end time days!
Sincerely,
Kevin B. Selby
