ACROSS THE SKY (2002)
"Images of the natural world subtly weave themselves into Keller's music; the natural ambiences often recall starry nights melting away to dawn. Keller plays piano and keyboards, providing the sonic constellations over which Tania Simoncelli's very spacious cello and Mark Fassett's discreet bass play."
-Steve Davis/Hearts of Space
Performed by Kevin Keller (piano/keyboards)
with Tania Simoncelli (cello) andMark Fassett (bass)
The evocative and emotional score for Kevin Keller's original dance-theater piece, Across the Sky effectively combines the atmospheric qualities of the best ambient and space music with the lyrical qualities of classical music.
