An uplifting meditation on death and impermanence, where Roots-based fingerstyle guitar and a soulful voice combine to make a transcendent fusion of Folk, Blues, and Jazz.
Bio / Background
Recorded with one microphone, a couple of beat-up guitars and many short sessions over a period of several months, Shaun Cromwell’s first release entitled “The Turning Of Clocks” is a meditation on death and impermanence. A quote from the album’s liner notes explains, in one broad stroke, the album’s concept.
“…a person who is mindful of death and impermanence progresses steadily and makes the most of every precious moment”. Lama Atisha (982-1054 CE)
While this might seem a fairly pedantic approach, Shaun sees the contemplation of life’s finite nature as largely pragmatic. “All spiritual and philosophical stuff aside, recognizing and accepting that you will die is a very practical way of loving the hell out of your life and trying to fit all that you can into that life. It’s what makes it possible to even consider writing music.
