Featured musicians: - Ricardo Gallardo: percussion - Stefan Grasse: guitar - Cem Duruoz: guitar - Nicky Hind: radio baton controlled synthesizers Other Credits: - Produced by Nicky Hind - Photography by Robert Hind - Mastered at Pajama Studios, Oakland, California Artist Comment: Of those that have heard my music, many have commented on it's ability to produce images in their minds. I too feel that the process of composition often begins with images or associated emotions that play on my mind, and then become transmuted into musical ideas and developed into forms. The title, Seven Visions, acknowledges this extra-sensory connection between music and image. - Nicky Hind reviews: '...the understated cool of the Pink-Floyd-meets-Steve-Reich gem that is Nicky Hind's Crossings for guitar and live electronics...' - Guitarra Magazine, USA '...as you move from one garden to the next, perspectives change as the sounds overlap and fade. Begin at the garden marked Slumber, and feel a gentle hypnotic pulsing, like a heartbeat...In Quest the music - throbbing and pulsing, almost choral - becomes more directional. Intriguing and fascinating.' - The Herald, UK bio: Nicky Hind composes music with healing and meditative qualities. Elements and e-motions, atmospheres and imaginations, inhabit a musical world not easily placed within temporal and cultural coordinates. A Scottish native resident in California, Nicky Hind creates music in harmony and balance with nature and the current of life.
