about

Music for the Water Walkway is a new three-song EP by the Adam Meckler Orchestra. Commissioned by the Rozsa Center for Performing Arts, the music was composed to accompany a geo-tagging app called “Listen,” in which the music is tagged to specific points on the canal path in Houghton, Michigan. As you walk the path using the Listen app, the music unfolds around you. The canal path features the stunning beauty of the Upper Peninsula, which served as the primary inspiration behind the compositions. Originally commissioned by Austin High School in MN, “Inspiration” features winding dueling solos between Meckler on flugelhorn, and long-time collaborator saxophonist Nelson Devereaux. The title track of the album is a 2-minute loop written for the Listen app that features guest soloists Lucia Sarmiento on Alto Saxophone, and Omar Abdulkarim on Trumpet.

Path of Totality
by Quinsin Nachoff

supported by 4 fans who also own “Music for the Water Walkway”

Creative, fresh, continuously surprising - this is the first album I've bought that is not straight-ahead jazz. Nachoff has won me over with brilliant writing, brilliant musicianship, and evocative arrangements. Just when a solo seems to have completed its exploration of a musical statement, for one example, the low sonorities of a beautiful synth line jump in to add gorgeous texture and to take the musical idea into fascinating territory. Bravo! freshkach
