Title Note

Recording information: Ihluka Studio; Rendezvous Recording; Kahala Studio.

Photographer: Pua Chapman.

Makana established his bona fides as a Hawaiian slack key guitarist with albums like KI HO'ALU: JOURNEY OF HAWAIIAN SLACK KEY, playing the traditional repertoire. On his last album, DIFFERENT GAME, he took a left turn, making like a 1970s folk-rock singer/songwriter. On VENUS AND THE SKY TURNS TO CLAY, there are no vocals however--it's just Makana playing the guitar. But anyone who thinks that means he's going back to tradition is mistaken. The album is Makana's statement about the possibilities of acoustic guitar playing, and while Hawaiian slack key is one of the styles, he is also cognizant of such masters of the form as Leo Kottke and Will Ackerman. Folk and country styles come in here and there, as well as New Age and bluegrass elements. He even throws in bits of flamenco and a nod to the jazz guitar of Django Reinhardt. And then there's "A Touch of Deviance," which finds his guitar going off into space, with echo effects and other electronic treatments. Makana clearly wants to try different things on his different albums. Even if he has returned to solo guitar work for this one, he really isn't retracing his steps; once again, he's going in new directions.
