Do you have Sisu? Jennifer DeFrayne's new album shares Finnish cultural insights...

Posted by Beth Ann Hilton on March 14, 2017 at 11:18pm

Sisu is the second album from award winning composer and pianist Jennifer DeFrayne. This album is dedicated to her Finnish heritage and has already received praise from noted reviewer Bill Binkelman who stated Jennifer DeFrayne's 'Sisu' is not just better than her debut ( By a Wire ), which is already high praise, but it is a work of such emotional depth, technical artistry, and self-assuredness, that I am left wondering 'Where has this remarkable woman been all this time?' 

Sisu is a deeply personal musical voyage that you will want to take many times, exploring the nooks and crannies in each track. The Finnish term sisu is a universal capacity which we all share Perseverance, Courage, Endurance, Determination, Grit, Fortitude, Bravery, Spirit, Resilience, Inner Strength and more. Jennifer DeFrayne, a self-taught pianist, has this to say about how the songs on the album came about: Each song embraces the spirit of sisu, reflects its many characteristics, and is in honor of my Finnish heritage.

"Coming Home" Now Available on iTunes & CD Sales

Posted by James Cahall on January 7, 2010 at 3:57am
I wanted to thank everyone for their input and support over the last year that contributed to the completion of my second album. "Coming Home" is now complete and available on iTunes and CD through CDBaby.com and Paypal.http://www.jamescahall.comPreview the tracks:http://www.reverbnation.com/tunepak/2198151Here is more info on my latest album in my bio:Showcasing his range as a pianist, New Age Solo Pianist James Cahall's sophomore album, "Coming Home," takes listeners on a breathtaking journey through the natural world. Each song urges self-searching, but always leads back to the happiness we derive from the unconditional love of those closest to us. From the rising of the tides to the ending of a season, James' varied collection brings life's many changes into perspective. For the world traveler or someone content to sit by the fireplace, this album will feel like you've come home in mind, body, & soul. With local performances and a growing online fan base, James shares his music to bring forward hope and optimism from deep within the collective spirit.With the gift of a garage-sale organ at age 5, James began his lifelong musical journey. The son of a disabled mother and her care provider-turned companion, his financially meager childhood was blessed by a supportive and spiritually rich home in Ukiah, CA. “Though my family had to make difficult choices, they never sacrificed my musical education.” James’ music is greatly influenced by his early mentors and New Age artists Thomas Ganoung and Spencer Brewer as well as the Classical greats Frederic Chopin and Sergei Rachmaninoff. “I found my voice through exploring the beauty and sorrow of their timeless music and its impact on my life.”James now enjoys surfing and disc golf, communing with nature in a way that feeds his creative impulses. Alongside a challenging yet rewarding career in Aerospace Engineering, he devotes his free time to his true passion of creating music. “Composing allows me to break free of the worries of tomorrow, and focus on the present moment.”His two albums, The Day Before Tomorrow & Coming Home, tell a story of love, confusion, and hope and have been compared to albums by New Age pianists Jim Brickman and George Winston. Through broken 10th chord progressions, the The Day Before Tomorrow’s opening song, “Superhero in the Musicbox,” conveys the universal dream of a child to make his mark on the world. In Coming Home’s “Skipping Stones,” the listener is taken on a modal journey through regrets of past transgressions and the joy that comes with moving on. A relaxing winter tribute, Coming Home’s “Embers,” evokes memories of times spent with family and friends, huddled around a warm fire.James performs at 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica, CA. and small local venues including the Jeanie Madsen Art Gallery. His emotional collection of soul-seeking melodies serves as a foundation for his future works. Ultimately, he wants his music to be a source of strength for his audience. “Live each day as if it were your last. Cherish each moment as if it were for the first time.”Regards,James CahallNew Age Solo Piano
