Jonn Serrie's lushly expansive sonic worlds have always evoked visions of endless, open galaxies and solar systems.
EPIPHANY: MEDITATIONS ON SACRED HYMNS brings Serrie's luminous sense of atmosphere to a program of familiar sacred music, blending the accessibility of tradition with adventurous textures and moods.
"Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring," "Abide with Me," and "Amazing Grace" are only a few of the well-known hymns run through the transformative filter of Serrie's analog and digital synthesizers.
While the focus on Christian music may seem somewhat odd for a New Age musician whose work is associated with "astral" listening experiences, the deep spirituality inherent in these classic themes blends surprisingly well with Serrie's aesthetic, creating an overall effect that will transport listeners' minds, while stirring their hearts.
