Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour with Mariam Massaro: #645
Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour #645 is an hour of visionary acoustic improv music played by Mariam Massaro and Bob Sherwood of the Gaea Star Band with Mariam on vocals, Native flute, acoustic guitar, mandolin, Celtic harp, shruti box and ukulele and Bob on piano. Recorded live at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington, Massachusetts in early November of 2025, today’s show begins with the peaceful, contemplative “Let The Shadows Go”, a minor key folk ballad with a fine vocal from Mariam set to a tight rhythm of rolling piano and chiming acoustic guitar. “Remembering Our Life” is a languid, peaceful ballad characterized by Mariam’s evocative vocal and Native flute dialogue and “Forest Of My Dreams” is an unhurried piece in praise of the forest featuring dancing ukulele, wide-ranging piano and Mariam’s contemplative, poetic vocal. “As We Journey In This Sacred Manner” is a powerful parable that grows in intensity with driving, evocative mandolin and a powerful vocal from Mariam wound together with dramatic classical piano from Bob. “Life Is Love, Love Is Life” is a vast, sprawling, imaginative journey built on shimmering Celtic harp, compelling piano and Mariam’s powerful vocal and Native flute duet and “Full Moon Part Two” is a powerful, unusual paean to a moonlit night with a silvery chord structure and a fine vocal from Mariam. We conclude today’s show with the powerful, intense “Let’s Sing To The Beauty Everywhere” a raga built on Mariam’s suspended shruti box drone, soaring Native flute, intimate vocals and dramatic piano.
