Louise is a founding member of Daniel Moores Floating Lotus Magic Opera Company, the first fusion orchestra in the USA - fellow players included Terry Riley & Angus Macleise. Louise then trained with the Indian masters Pandit Ram Narayan and Ustad Abdul Majid Khan on sarangi, and with Ali AkbarKhan and his sister, Annapurna Devi. She also studied with La Monte Young in NYC, where she monitored the Dream House, Youngs & Zazeelas musical installation. Despite this vast musicalexperience, she has released very few solo recordings, so we feel especially honoured that she has agreed to contribute to our project. On this release, Louise is joined by Bart De Paepe and Timo van Luijk, who also recorded and mixed the album.Louise Landes Levi dedicates her album to the Monarch butterfly, which is not yet listed as an endangered species on the IUCN redlist. However, endangered status has been requested by the US Center for Biological Diversity due to the drastic decline of the population over the past decades. All profits will be donated to the Monarch Butterfly Conservation Fund initiated by the US National Fish and Wildlife Foundation.
