Nicholas Gunn Artist Snapshot:

British-born flautist and composer Nicholas Gunn is considered the preeminent flautist of the New Age genre. His first album, the self-produced AFTERNOON IN SEDONA (1993), was an immediate best-seller on its release. The themes explored on this album--world-beat-inflected celebrations of the wide open spaces of the American Southwest--expanded on his classic MUSIC OF GRAND CANYON (1995), the first in a series of albums inspired by national parks. Subsequent releases have quickly wound up at the top of Billboard's New Age charts. As a producer and record label owner, he has helped support the careers of popular instrumental artists Loren Gold and Mars Lasar.

Title Note

Nicholas Gunn's THE SACRED FIRE is a provocative and introspective album. Drawing from tribal mysticism, and a deep love for the flute, this British transplant captures life in the American Southwest like few of his contemporaries.

Selections such as "Earth Story" and "Baile Para La Luna" mimic the atmosphere and feel of the Sonoran and Mojave deserts. On these selections, Gunn uses wind sound effects, flamenco guitar riffs, and aboriginal percussion instruments to create a vivid picture of this region. The title track is clearly an allusion to Native American cosmology. This is manifested in Gunn's flute playing, which borrows specifically from the music of the Navajo and Hopi. Further, Gunn's thick keyboard layers are supported here by Indian chanting and throbbing tom-tom rhythms. In general, THE SACRED FIRE is a majestic release that invokes the spirit of the Arizona desert including the musical styles of its varied inhabitants.
