about

Grandiose orchestral passages combine with modern electronic ambiences establishing a new sound to Kettering's repertoire. With Pathways a more melodic approach is taken throughout the album to convey a positive perspective to the complex journey of life. Beautiful solo contributions are made by cellist Kari Kettering of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra and vocalist Francesca Genco. After a 20 year hiatus from playing trumpet, Kettering returns to the instrument in a special song featured at the end of the album.

Fade To Gray
by Steve Roach

You can listen to this as a pleasant wash of background music while you work; as beautiful and as meaningless as sunlight on a painted wall. Or you can focus on it and realise that actually there's a lot going on in the texture and detail of the sound. Steve Roach has made a lot of longform ambient, all of them well worth listening to, but this is one of the very best. A gem from a gem. Wylfryd Smythe
