Following The Call by Ann Licater

Track #15, is played on a flute made of felled Redwood found within a Humboldt County forest in Northern California. Its deep voice and resonance takes the listener to another time and place. There is a lot to experience with this CD from the lilting forest-like dance on Track #8, THREE GRACES, to the deeply earthy and ambient sounds of clay flutes on Tracks # 2 and #12, NUMINOUS GATEWAY and BELOVED. Track #7, WIND AND BUTTERFLY, feels just like its title--a monarch floating through a breeze. Each of the 16 songs has its own special meaning along the journey, but the best way to listen to “Following the Call” is from beginning to end for a long, relaxing and inspirational meditation.
