Zion by Noah Klein

Noah Klein is a musician, flautist, community organizer and California certified naturalist in Los Angeles. “Zion” was recorded in gratitude, wonder and awe of the Virgin River tributary in Zion National Park, a space that has left an indelible mark on him throughout the years. Across two sides, Noah’s breathy flute and bansuri playing meanders and unfurls across its calming, naturalistic landscape. Accompanying Noah is Sean Conrad (Channelers, Ashan, Inner Islands) on piano, Patrick Shiroishi on saxophone and Marc Merza on shruti box and lyra-8.

From Noah— “This album is a meditation on the impermanence of everything we know to be our present, a deep breath on longform geologic process, and an acknowledgement towards the divine eternal process of nature. Mexican Spotted Owls and Canyon Wrens can be heard, footsteps guiding the path along “Angels Landing”, crickets from my campsites, and the breath of the Virgin River is the heart of The Narrows. May these tones bring transformation to our days at home, peace when we're weary, inspiration for exploration, or just soundtrack a sick adventure.”

Recorded in reverence to the legacies and spirits of: Arn Chorn-Pond, Dean Evenson, Hermeto Pascoal, James Newton, Joel Vandroogenbroeck, Kat Epple, Kay Gardner, Larkin, Marshall Allen, Nawang Khechog, Paul Horn, Pharoah Sanders, R Carlos Nakai, Shabaka Hutchings, and Schawkie Roth
