Muriel Grossmann - Birth of the Mystery

2010 release

“The suite Birth of the Mystery is about elaborating the idea of a joyful birth in a musical way. Creation is coming through us but not from us. There are six important states of mind. Strength is about will power. Trust is about, all that comes to you is meant for you, so trust and your actions will be good. Breathing is about the essential part of being conscious as the breath flows, to use the power of the now. Patience is about the peacefulness in non-action. Opening, as in everyday life, is about being open to give and to receive compassion and love; and Slide is about letting the things fall right into your hands to Welcome it, so the joy can ease you.”
The Quartet is composed of Radomir Milojkovic on guitar, who both as accompanist and soloist, has sophisticated sensibility and high-level of consistency; with the drums of Marko Jelaca, an orchestral continuum of rhythmic irregularities that nevertheless mark the most rigorous metric, and bassist David Marroquin, who with same sense of freedom always brings a wide range of rhythms and sounds. This music is universal; they compose quartet to the power of four, as well as a quartet four times unique.
Each composition is a study in itself, the elaboration of the musical concepts through harmony, melody and rhythm. “I was mostly writing in the nighttime, while everybody was asleep. The stillness and peace of the night were guiding me”. David Farrow
