“At a bit over seven minutes, it is very easy to slip into a meditative state as the various elements in the music soothe and create a place of peaceful reflection. Some of the flute passages have a strong jazz influence and then slip back to a more traditional Native American style. It’s a fascinating piece of music from an exceptional artist.” Kathy Parson, Mainly Piano
High C flute, shakers, vibes, udu, and ambient pad create an upbeat experience! This song started out as unleashing a bit of jazziness after listening to Coltrane, and sometimes you just want to have some fun. However, I think there could be a more universal sense here. Unleashing our creative energies in a positive way will help balance the negative activities in our world. Unleashing our compassion for those who are suffering from the actions of those who are seeking power will bring us closer together. The Great Turning is shifting the paradigms of our cultures and has created and will create additional upheaval by those who cannot abide the changes. We can create positive energy too! We each have unique gifts to help create a more beautiful world! Unleash! Artist: Diane Wheeler Dunn Recording: Unleashed Release: 2/21/2022 Label: Independent
Reviews
Unleashed By Diane Wheeler Dunn Written by Steve Sheppard
The combination of keyboards, flute and percussion give the listener a very compelling and interesting narrative to enjoy on this latest single by Diane Wheeler Dunn entitled Unleashed. The vibrancy of this Native American Flute Styled performance is so very evident and packed full of colourful segments and textures, the percussive elements added at around the half way juncture; only go to add more layers to an already masterful and crafted presentation. Diane Wheeler Dunn has been taking the flute scene with a flourish in the last few months, and this rhythmic and almost ritualistic opus will only go to further cement her ever growing fan base.
