Biography:
NEW AGE MUSIC IS FRESH FOR MILLENNIUM

Composer and recording artist, Palmer has released "Lifetimes featuring Millennium Suite" available at Amazon.com and many Northwest regional outlets. William Reedy, the highly accomplished nylon-string guitarist, collaborated with Palmer in the creation of Lifetimes; a project that took three years to evolve.

The evolution produced a body of work that is categorically New Age music, but it is fresh and new, beautifully written and beautifully produced. The melodies and moods fairly glisten from beginning to end. Phrase by phrase, not be note, Lifetimes is a spherical reflection illuminating conflict within the human psyche which struggles to find a state of peace. As a whole, the CD is a poignant reminder each lifetime is a miracle and a diving journey.

In its entirety the recording is built around a central them, Millennium Suite. The only interruption in the instrumental format is Awakening, a poem written by Janice Johnson Palmer. Reminiscent of Pink Floyd’s Delicate Sound of Thunder, the music is clearly an interpretive vehicle picking up where words leave off.

Recorded and produced at Acoustic Chamber, a state-of-art, 24 track recording facility in the Seattle area, Lifetimes has already won a regional award from Disc Makers. Staying in the Fire, the second cut from Lifetimes was voted in the top 10% of several hundred regional submissions.

Palmer is a native of the Pacific Northwest. He is a graduate of University of Puget Sound and received a Masters degree in music from Pacific Lutheran University. Growing up he played jazz trumpet and began playing piano close to the onset of his formal education. Classical training gave him a deeper appreciation for all musical form. He has been a teacher of music education for 25 years which has encompassed a broad spectrum of administrative duties and directorships. He has an extensive performance background playing engagements in the greater Puget Sound and Seattle metro area.

William Reedy, former student to Andres Segovia, Narcisso Yepes, Carlos Barbosa Lima, and David Tannebaum, has toured extensively throughout the United States, Europe and Polynesia. He has appeared as the opening act for abroad spectrum of internationally renowned artists including Kenny Loggins, jose Feliciano, and The Kingston Trio. He is the recording engineer as well as guitarist on Lifetimes.
