Description
Steven Grahn is a lifelong musician with eclectic taste. He started as a youth with a guitar and a lot of musical passion. In college he stretched himself to become a concert flutist and composer. He studied composition at San Fransisco State University and he graduated from California State University at Humboldt with a BA in music for alto saxophone and flute. He is now a multi-instrumentalist who has played Rock, Country, Blues, and most recently, Celtic, music professionally. This CD of original compositions is a convergence of the styles of music he listens to, including: Rock and Blues (Eric Clapton, Van Morrison, Muddy Waters, Little Feat), African and world beat (Habib Koite and Bamada, Kwela Tbza, Donald Kachamba), Tibetan (Nawang Khechong), and Celtic (Enya, Clannad, and a variety of traditional players).
Musically, this is almost completely a solo project. Steven wrote and arranged the songs, played the instruments, programmed the parts, and, whatever the format, recorded and mixed the tracks. Some of the older songs were recorded at his house using four track recorders and sequencers. Some songs were recorded at Tally Studio, a 24 track digital tape-based facility. The rest of the songs were recorded on a PC running Cakewalk Pro Audio and Sonar.
