Indalo Wind - Music
May Nighttime Be a Dawn
New album available at Bandcamp
While evoking elements of Indalo Wind records past, this release signals a bold new direction in composition and instrumentation. Born largely of improvisation, it reflects the innate melodic and rhythmic structure of three musicians who know each other well and can converse deeply. But the straw that stirs the drink is the sound design and production by Jackie Walter, who expertly weaves the various threads into a hauntingly beautiful textile of sound.

She Who Watches
|
|
Rooted in love and grief, connection and continuation, She Who Watches expands on ideas and instrumentation introduced on our previous recording, Notes to Nikki. It continues the Indalo Wind practice of mixing traditional and original compositions with improvisation, realized on a diverse and dynamic array of instruments. Dedicated to our beloved Nikki, She Who Watches features unique adaptions of ancient Sanskrit chants and traditional Lakota melodies, amid haunting meditations for oud and wood flute.

Notes to Nikki

|
Born of love and loss, grief and gratitude, "Notes to Nikki" is a collection of improvisations and original compositions recorded in loving memory of Nikki Walter (Eric's wife, Jackie's mother) who died on January 30, 2020 after a brave, nine-month battle with cancer. Anchored by Jackie's dynamic oud playing and Eric's soulful explorations on wooden flute, this is a uniquely personal and heartfelt musical tribute to a beautiful, intelligent, kind and caring woman who touched the lives of many people.

“Incredibly peaceful, meditative and beautiful music.”
“…beautiful, ethereal musical compositions…haunting and lovely works”
“It's an (unsurprisingly) spectacular listen, in a quiet, subdued way.”
“…so beautiful and so profound.”
“It is very beautiful music.”
"Hauntingly beautiful. Jacob’s oud playing is wonderful, Eric’s flute floats on the breeze. There is a catharsis that runs throughout the tracks; gentle, carefully articulated, very moving."
"This is incredibly emotive music."
"...lovely esoteric music...free, spiritual, deeply sensitive and a wonderful offering to wife and mother."
"It far surpasses beautiful."
Flake of the Wood
These tracks were recorded live and unrehearsed in Dirt Angel Studio, Tigard, Oregon, on July 23, 2019. Digital album available at Bandcamp.
When Flowers Fall on the Rain
(The Chime of Heart Trio)
A bold and emotional work from the members of Indalo Wind, When Flowers Fall on the Rain explores both the heartbreaking violence and disarming beauty of landscapes in continental Southeast Asia through a not-quite-ambient composition in three movements. Proceeds from initial sales of this recording were donated to landmine relief in Cambodia.
From Far and Wide
A far-ranging collection of acoustic instrumental music - from Irish traditionals to Japanese pop, Italian love songs to the Grateful Dead, and unique originals as well.
