Reviews
and Comments for music by Scott
August
|
"August
has always been a cut or two
above most native flute
players...he's taken it a step
further on Lost Canyons. He
layers guitars, keyboards and all
kinds of percussion into his
compositions, moving from world
fusion to airy ambiences.
August sets [the Native
flute] in a vibrant global
landscape...and lets it drift
into ambient space. Lost Canyons
is a place you won't mind losing
your map. It's our December CD of
the Month on Echoes"

Another
masterpiece for this genre of
music, Scott delivers one of the
most soothing and inspiring CD's
I've heard in quite sometime.
Take a trip to the southwestern
U.S. and venture through nature
and the spirits of the tribes
that dominated the area for
thousands of years, the Pueblos,
Navaho, Hopi and many others.
Scott August, is one of only a
handful of musicians to master
the Anasazi rim blown flute. He
incorporates many other rare
instruments on this CD truly
designating the beauty as world
music. This 12 track instrumental
collection features "Morning
Star", "Swallows and Nighthawks",
"Lost Canyons" and "Evening
Star". A beautiful piece of work.

"This
latest recording by Scott August
follows in his tradition of
deftly joining Native American
themes with a unique world
instrument tonal texture to give
his music a panache rarely found
in any other recording artists.
He deserves all the accolades he
has received. I believe that this
newest CD will also become
another honor winner."
