Album Notes

Sunrise, a musical collaboration by Phil Jones and producer Gus Mancini, was conceived and birthed in a sacred atmosphere of unconditional spontaneity and spiritual passion.

Each played creative midwife to the project and kept one another true to their pact: Shape each song as it is being laid down, one take only, one mix, one session.

No editing, no commercialization, just the raw and genuine article.

What resulted was a surprising synthesis of culturally diverse instruments - Australian didgeridoo, Tibetan gong, Scottish bagpipe, Irish tin whistle, lap drum, Native American flute - enriching a tapestry of devotional chanting, inspired song and spoken word.

Sunrise guides you through a treasure hunt to discover your latent creative potential - providing a map to unlearn the rules, unfetter your senses and transform your self perceptions.

Are you willing to let go and explore?

Reviews:

"I was really impressed with the use of the instrumentation. It's the kind of music that 'Night Shades' needs more of. Real music for the mind."
--Walt Given at WVPN, Charleston, WV

"Awakening the spirit are the words which can describe perfectly Sunrise. A brilliant recording."
--Sergiu Rusu at Radio Arad, Romania
