Tony Anderson - Sierras

Sierras. The word simply means "hills" or "mountains." In the great plains of the United States, the farmland is our ocean. The swells and undulating landscape flow like waves. I played the piano with delicacy in this piece - pushing and pulling without any timing requirement; recording it was like breathing.

Sierras is another piece of my forthcoming album. I don't have a release date for the full body of work, and I likely will not set one simply because I'm enjoying the relaxed process of finishing one piece at a time and then going with my intuition on which one needs attention next. Unlike past albums which had hard release deadlines, I am de-pressurizing the process with Niobrara (the name of this current album) and also the second album, which will follow.

Thanks for all of your support. I have a suspicion the next piece will have my singing / vocals on it like Fields of Green did.

The photo was taken in the mid 1990s by my Grandmother. She was an excellent film photographer and would wait each evening for the sunset on her farm in Nebraska. That's her barn in the left side of the frame. The colors she captured are stunning.
