Showing Up by Victor Haskins
This is my second album of original compositions. Part of what made this album take so long to manifest is that I decided to pick up the electronic wind instrument (EWI) several years prior and learn that. The ability to create my own custom synthesized instruments which can be played by the EWI has greatly expanded what is possible for me as a composer. I can communicate so many more different ideas to you, the listener, when I have a larger palette of colors (sounds) available.
A couple of the tracks on this album were originally featured on my first album, The Truth, with that band, so it is interesting to hear 2 different versions of the same compositions ("Morning" and "Grey").
