About Songs From The Broken Land: "I set out to make a recording in real time of mostly short improvisations with no thought other than to prepare the instrument or not. There are few exceptions: six improvised variations on Stephen Foster's My Old Kentucky Home, a free improvisation on the Valentino solo viola piece Solfegietto and a simple piece, Go, played with no embellishment. The mandate was to follow a whim to create something good, bad, silly or otherwise — as long as it retained a level of rawness through no or minimal preparation. Please enjoy! — Mick Rossi" [Orange Mountain Music]
