Wishy-Washy opening 0:32Yamaha baby grand Farmer In The Dell reinterpreted. A beautiful small plane flyover- nice slow evolving spatial pan. And @ 1:40 I love that bird on the left side singing 1/8th note triplets in perfect sync. Gets me going every time I hear it…. Denver Clay

Wishy-Washy ending 0:39I hear the evolution of man with the support of surrounding flora and fauna. Wishy-Washy begins with sounds that we produced in beautiful Cabin 3 at Point Comfort Lodge on Pelican Bay overlooking Upper Klamath National Wildlife Refuge in 1998. We did five takes of what we considered sounds of the earth: magma rising, lava exploding. The names of the tracks that collaborate with Denver’s piano color and add meaning to the piece: Volcano Voices 2 & 5, Dog Barking, Cluck a Duck: Bad Bird, Pan Flooding, Lobby Voices, Silver-Hairs Talking, Plane Crickets. Wishy-Washy is one of my favorite Lava Songs.
The audio collage tickles my imagination… Anders Tomlinson
