iannai Some of my favorite styles of ambient are in this album. Great music! Eagerly waiting for your next archive album.

Berkdrums The amazing Jeff Pearce.. I’m so superhappy with the decision to offically release this beauty!! And, lucky me, on CD as well! Purely audio-bliss!! I’m afraid that I start to repeat myself, sorry for that, but have to say it again: Jeff’s music feels like homecoming wherever I may be.. a feeling of nostalgia, peacefulness, joy to be alive and thankfulness, hard to define exactly, but in these times, maybe more than ever, we need this amazing music to fill our souls and dream away.. thanks

about

Twenty years ago, I released an album that very few people heard. It was originally a cd-r of songs that i had composed for a concert I played in June of 2000, at the Gatherings Concert Series in Philadelphia, PA. That was my second appearance there, my previous being in February of 1999. I wanted to not only create a new set of music to play for those in attendance, but also have something they could take home with them at the end of the evening, featuring the music they'd just heard.

Over the years, I've received inquiries as to whether or not I might do an official release of "Songs for the Gathering", and until recently, I'd not considered it. But given the perspective brought by 20 years of distance, I can hear not only previews of where I would eventually head on my ambient guitar path, but also a couple of songs that were the only ones of their kind in my catalog- like "An Isle", which still remains one of the most enjoyable songs for me to play in a live setting.

This album will grow on you. Listen in headphones or earbuds. It will blow your mind. Steve has so many amazing textures and dimensions on this release. It's hard to pick a favorite track. Probably in his top 5, if there is such a thing. 53Guitarman
