Орел Christianity used to define the bleeding edge of the arts, driven to make creative, beautiful, true and edifying things. This album proves it can be so again and stands in stark contrast to most modern "Christian" art, which is bland, fake and commoditized.

The gaye device A real meditative journey awaits you with this collection of improvised live recordings with violin. Deep and spiritual music completely immersing.

Philip Graham 2 1/2 hours of profoundly meditative solo violin improvisations, each composition named after a planet, star, nebula, galaxy or black hole.
The sound of the evening sky and the inner eye. Favorite track: Fæðing • CG 4.

Steve Lake I had a hard time waiting for this one too but I see ( hear) that it's well worth the wait. Thank you so much for this! Favorite track: Alsahra • 3C 348.

about

"The Sextant of a Blind Seafarer" is an anthology of live recordings captured between 2017 and 2021, featuring spur-of-the-moment improvisations on the violin.

This collection logs a voyage through prayers, lashings-out, laments, and praise, where each track is a captured moment of live composition during spiritual reflection.

The tracks are arranged to accompany different sections of the Holy Bible: Tracks 1-10 with passages of the Old Testament and tracks 11-20 with passages of the New Testament.

"Worthy are You, our Lord and our God, to receive glory and honor and power; for You created all things, and because of Your will they existed, and were created." Revelation 4:11
