WOMEN’S MOVEMENT VETERANS RELEASE NEW CD: TIME TRAVELING WITH SAPPHO

New York, N.Y. – The SeaWaves (Jeri Hilderley, Janet Mayes) and WordSpace Publications just released their new album, Time Traveling with Sappho; A Love-Song Cycle on April 18, 2015. They will be celebrating the new release with a CD Release Party at Bellydance America on June 20th from 7-9 pm, 265 West 37th Street, near 8th Ave., Second Floor.

The SeaWaves latest CD, Time Traveling with Sappho is a meditative, sensuous song cycle, “one gorgeous, beautiful piece of music.” (Nancy Willard, poet/novelist) It “gave birth to sound and then went seamlessly back to the silence that became richer because of the music that had existed there–oh my God, the book, the music, exquisite, exquisite.” (Padma Hejmadi, novelist) Jeri Hilderley incorporates Sappho’s poem fragments–translated from the Greek by poet Konstantinos Lardas, Pulitzer Prize nominee–into an enticing and enchanting music collage for voice, guitars and marimba.

The music is mixed and mastered by musician, composer, performer, keyboardist and Pro Tools expert Bruce MacPherson, who has worked as the sound designer and engineer for Philip Glass and has played keyboards with Fleetwood Mac, Lesley Gore and many others.

The accompanying book (“two gems in a jewel case”) is an exquisite compilation of music scores, translations, images of original papyri and photographs of artists’ renderings of Sappho–a visual treat crafted by renowned graphic designer Virginia Cahill.

The music for the evening will be enhanced by interpretive sacred bellydancing from the Temple of Jehan at Bellydance America, “gateway to all things Bellydance related past present and future; where traditions and innovations meet.”

Digital and hard copies of The SeaWaves music are available to purchase through Amazon.com and CdBaby.com. Official website: SeaWaveRecordings.com .

Admission to the June 20th party is free (but guests are encouraged to purchase a CD with free download card).
