Isle of Glass is a collection of songs on CD that I have been working on for the last 4-5 years.

Isle of Glass refers loosely to a number of different concepts. The phrase originally came from the Romance literature of King Arthur — one name for Avalon, that mystic island refuge, was "Isle of Glass."

The phrase can also refer to our modern world, with steel and glass dominating our lives and lifestyles. Finally, Isle of Glass hints at ourselves as individual human beings—we are islands, both isolated and transparent in many ways.

This recording is considered a collection of songs. In this time of single mp3 downloads and streaming audio, this recording is meant to be listened to as a whole. I'm suggesting that you listen to this recording a few times as you might usually listen—as background music while you do other things. After a few listens, sit or lie down and relax, turn the lights down, turn the music up, close your eyes and LISTEN...

Most of all, enjoy! It is, after all, only art...
