Heart's Reflection: Music of Daniel Elder

Just as water reflects the face, so one human heart reflects another.' 'Through this profound proverb, my statement as an artist is conceived. To be able to demonstrate in a universally understood language the emotions that link US all is a powerful way to communicate, and in this album I attempt to present though a wide-ranging spectrum of color and sound this central ideal. Just as music is a universal language, so is emotion, and using music to wordlessly and directly convey these emotions - rather than the literal texts it sets - can touch US all poignantly in a way that overlooks our inherent diversity.' - Daniel Elder.
