If you have ever wanted to be inside a musician's head and heart during an inspired song-writing session, this may be the closest you'll ever get.

As you listen to the spontaneous creations on this CD, you can feel Buttars moment by moment intuitively translating her emotions into sound, and actually sense her mind working.

And what beautiful and imaginative pieces they are! They take you on a rich sonic journey from energetic classical elements to world influences to meditative sound paintings--all played by a master pianist with a marvelous sense of timing and sensitivity of touch.

And she has total command over a real treat of a piano: a 9-foot concert grand with a brilliant tonal palette.

What makes this CD remarkable is its quality of artistry that invites deep listening, and repeated listening, and its directness of expression that truly touches.

Jane Buttars: "Most music we hear has been composed before its performance, either totally or in part. But for this music I had no plan, no tones in mind to begin with--other than a mood, a short motive, or a scale.

"From then on, my only intention was to be totally attentive to my impulses and follow them, to let my feelings, ears, muscles and intellect act without conscious effort, and to enjoy the ride! I made no overdubs or retakes, and I chose titles after recording was completed.

"This music is my gift to you. I hope that you are drawn in to the excitement of free improvisation--and inspired to explore your own inside music."

This CD was produced by Jane Buttars and David Darling, and was recorded June 11-13, 1999, at the David Darling Studio.
