Music of the William Eaton Ensemble resounds within the landscape, light and life of the northern Sonoran Desert. Tradition meets new exploration. The Ensemble’s music is a melding of sounds from diverse origins. Notes from William Eaton’s unique stringed instruments (harp guitar, spiral clef, o’ele’n strings, lyraharp guitar) combine with Claudia Tulip’s silver and indigenous flutes and pan pipes, Allen Ame’s invented six string violyra and violin, Mary Redhouse’s five octave native voice, and ethnic-world percussion from players Will Clipman and Keith Johnson. . The resulting music is a collection of grace-touched melodies in rich impressionistic arrangements that transports the listener to the far reaches of the imagination.
