About the Album

"Air Songs" is a collection of recent solo improvisations, live outdoor sessions, and meditative studio works recorded between Winter and Spring of 2022. Drawing inspiration from the elemental force of air, the music explores its role as the great equalizer, the bringer of life, and the origin of all stories. The compositions celebrate the breath, a universal and grounding presence in our daily lives.

Hiram’s instruments include flutes crafted from Walnut, Cedar, and Rosewood, along with synthesizer, electric piano, bass guitar, pocket sax, voice, shruti box, and electronic processing. The work also features natural soundscapes from the environments in which it was recorded.

Track highlights include:

• Track 3, "From Above": Recorded live outdoors on the cliffside overlooking Hidden Falls Park.

• Track 5, "Trillium": Features field recordings from Blue Mound State Park.

• Track 6, "Talia": Captures the powerful soundscape at the base of a waterfall at Hidden Falls Park.
