Life Cycle, by John Puchiele Ensemble

Life Cycle

by John Puchiele Ensemble

supported by

Wyndham Rain In our next-door neighbor's yard stood a great Chinaberry tree that I loved to climb. Nestled in the branches there in the last minutes of a day's play, first stars in the tree's upper branches, I would overdose on infinity. The green berries of the Chinaberry are poisonous, and its branches are dangerously brittle. My parents had forbidden me to climb it, but I couldn't resist the ecstatic poise between the here and the there, swaying gently in the big sky at the edge of infinity. Favorite track: the big sky.

Scott Lawlor This is amazing neo-classical ambience of the highest emotional order, very expressive orchestration and profoundly moving choral layers, telling the story of the life cycle in a most spectacular way. Highly recommended. Favorite track: N.D.E..

Live At The Gatherings 2015
by Robert Rich

After Life is wha I would call an ambient orchestral album. It is a concept album, allegory and journey... each track name describes each step of that journey! John Puchiele Ensemble
