While the multimedia production of Mind Over Mirrors' Bellowing Sun album was first performed alongside Janet Beveridge Bean (Freakwater, Eleventh Dream Day), Jim Becker (Iron and Wine, Califone), and Jon Mueller (Death Blues, Volcano Choir) as part of a special MCA commission, the record is rooted in the Lake Michigan home of head musician/ composer Jaime Fennelly. Its "singing sands" are why synths are mimicking seagulls on the opening track ("Feeding on the Flats") and another piece is largely inspired by the innate beauty of butterfly migrations ("Pause to Wonder").
To put this ambitious project in perspective, we asked Fennelly to describe five other inspirational recordings that were influenced by the world around us. Side note: NYC folks are highly encouraged to check out a "gongs and all" rendition of Bellowing Sun in Brooklyn tonight as part of the Northside Festival....
