5. Constance DembyFaces Of The Christ
I love the movement of this – slow, gentle, nurturing, compassionate, the gentle passion, the easy flowing synths. She invented an instrument called the “Space bass”. George Lucas has used her instruments in his soundtrack? Well, I know she lives in Lorraine County, which is quite close to where George Lucas lives. For all I know, they might be neighbours. Is there something about California that’s conducive to making this sort of music? Well, there are a lot of laid-back, very spiritual communities out there – a lot of sunshine, a lot of flowers, and flower power with the hippies – a lot of transitional lifestyles. As opposed to the East which very rushed, all about business, all about getting things done. I know, I live here. Whereas California is much more laid back, about letting things flow. And of course, there is the desert.
