Al Di MEOLA
Consequence Of Chaos
(2006)
1. San Marco (Moderna) 7'53
(Al Di Meola)
I envisioned a modern, almost avant-garde setting in this. fabulous piazza in Venice
2. Turquoise 5'58
(Al Di Meola)
The counterpoint compositionally embodied the essence
of my future writing direction.
3. Odyssey 1'22
(Al Di Meola)
4. Tao 9'06
(Al Di Meola)
The modern return of my love of the art of playing electric guitar in a group setting
5. Azucar 8'58
(Al Di Meola)
A piece I wrote twelve years ago, but finally had the
right chance to record with this stellar cast.
6. Sanctuary 7'38
(Al Di Meola)
7. Hypnose 10'21
(Al Di Meola)
The arpeggiated complexity underscoring the melody marks one of my favorite additions to this collection
8. Red Moon 5'08
(Al Di Meola)
Hot! Chick is brilliant! Need I say more ?
9. Cry For You 3'13
(Al Di Meola)
I dream of my daughters and mother when I hear this !
10. Just Three Words 3'13
(Al Di Meola)
11. Tempest 3'13
(Al Di Meola)
This is perhaps the most complex piece originally
written on my acoustic guitar in the beginning stages ot
writing for this record.
12. Storm Off-Shore 3'13
(Al Di Meola)
13. Black Pearls 3'13
(Al Di Meola)
Despite the tensions that exist between the West and
the Middle East, the musical influence is, and has been
exquisite !
14. Africana Suite 3'13
(Al Di Meola)
In some ways, my favorite piece. The twists and turns,
syncopation-wise, conjure up images of my love of
African music
15. San Marco (Vecchio) 3'13
(Al Di Meola)
This tune had images of Old World Venice in 3/4 time,
in the famous Piazza San Marco
