Danny Barnes is the top philosopher in banjo music today. If you read his written pieces, he is just spot on about everything. He has in this ambient work created a sonic expression of his positive understanding of the world.
This is a lot to ask of a musical piece, but he has done it here. Now granted, I have been doing my homework. Following up on his references, I have been reading Buddhist and other spiritual and philosophical material, Maher Baba, Thich Nhat Hanh, the Dalai Lama. This sort of thinking flows along well with ambient banjo music.
I hope the implication in calling this work Vol.1 is realized in many more volumes to come. This recording creates peaceful space for my mind to wander around in. Just what I needed.
