Radiant Sky

Product Description A relaxing and meditative world of sound and space. Evocative melodies and ethereal harmonies gently transport you to the sacred places of the imagination. Scott August's unique blend of shimmering pianos, haunting ancient flutes, delicate guitars, exotic world instruments, and ambient dreamscapes floats effortlessly across a Radiant Sky. Review Radiant Sky is an engaging mix of straightforward New Age style and soaring flute that calls to mind shimmering desert landscapes, dramatic vistas at sunset and hawks circling in sharp blue skies. I like that August includes tracks, such as "Arc of Dreams" and "A Pale Radiance," where the flute takes a backseat to allow him to show his talent with other instruments. While this won't sound quite right, it makes for a nice respite from the sound and keeps Radiant Sky from being simply a flute album with Native American overtones. Instead it becomes a good New Age album, period. August is a superb all-around musician, a good pianist and guitarist, and it shows in the relative diversity of the songs here. Of course, the real draw is his flute playing, and when he plays it solo, as with the beginning of "River of Stars" or in the breathtakingly beautiful "Since the Stars Fell," it's absolutely entrancing and will transport you to another place. The highlight track here is the infectious "Santa Fe" it's just plain fun, a celebration of the spirit. Radiant Sky is excellent wind-down or light background music, and pays dividends when listened to closely. Enjoyable all around. --John Shanahan, Hypnagogue Review Radiant Sky is that treasure of thoroughly original music that doesn't come across my desk very often. Every cut is unique, each tells a story, sets a mood and transports the listener to exotic places most of us only dream of visiting. Santa Fe makes me move and dance, Arc of Dreams takes me on a journey to a serene faraway place filled with wonders. River of Stars evokes the place itself - it comes alive in the music. A Pale Radiance tells of a quiet conversation between the man and the piano. This is a diversity of instruments beautifully blended; the compositions flow so well they appear to be effortless - I call this the work of a master. --Kitty Norris, iridiumradio.com Radiant Sky, like the stars it describes, casts light upon Scott August's talent performing with a variety of instruments in an ambient and meditative expression. Radiant Sky creates the Ideal atmosphere for yoga, massage or releasing the stress of the day. This stunning album showcases August's versatility as a musician and composer. A bright light in the body of work by Scott August, Radiant Sky is a worthy addition to anyone's music collection. --DJ Thornton, KSBR, Morning Breeze
