John Doan’s “Into the Quiet” is a musical tapestry that creates a calming sanctuary away from the harshness of contemporary life returning us to moments where we can pause and wonder about life’s mysteries and to muse about things that really matter. It creates transcendent moments where we can feel a part of the world instead of apart from the world. John gathered the musical threads woven into this tapestry from years of touring in Europe, from musical visions that appeared to him in dreams, and from the awe-inspiring, rugged Northwest landscape where he lives. This timeless work encourages us to look beyond the tension and striving of the moment as it whispers to us of the beauty that is waiting if we would only enter into the quiet. As you listen to these musical treasures you may feel as if you are eavesdropping on a conversation that was waiting for you to arrive, to surrender to the immensity of the stars appearing in the evening sky, to feel a kinship to wild geese passing by above the clouds, to awaken to morning bells reverberating in the narrow canals of Venice. The poetic music feels like it has been pulled down from heaven to earth with each carefully chosen note. It is tender music that invites the listener into the quiet. Emmy Nominee John Doan is the pioneer of the 20 string harp guitar that pushes the boundaries of what was previously thought possible on the guitar. His acclaimed music was awarded “Best Celtic Album of the Year” and Billboard’s “Editor’s Choice.” He recently was given the International Brand Laureate Award for “World’s Leading Harp Guitarist.”
