The Making of
The Making of the Original Music for Ancient Lands and Lives
Above the Grand Canyon Rims
How was the Ancient Lands and Lives
Above the Grand Canyon Rims
music video composed/performed
by the iconic Mark Wood,
original member of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra?
The emmy-award-winning composer-electric violin
performer, Mark Wood, explored a spontaneous
immersive creative process by viewing the
music video's visual story including a wide range
of sweeping landscapes, diverse wildlife (mountain lions,
American badgers, black bears, gray foxes, etc.), night skies,
extreme weather and ancient native american sacred Grand
Canyon lands.
Intuitively, Mark began to instantly play his seven string viper electric violin and move as if he were standing on the Grand Canyon's Rims. Each music video film chapter was like a high-powered symphonic movement carving the canyon with electric violin sliding sounds. He even developed the sounds of wildlife interactions like BigHorn sheep ramming heads and the mountain lion stalking them on their rock ledges near the juniper pine forest.
Listen to this artful interpretive music experience as if you were seeing Above Grand Canyon skies, on its canyons rims and becoming part of its wildlife in their daytime and nighttime adventures. It will elevate your spirits!
Laura Kaye, Mark Wood's band member and wife, contributed to the music video's voice to amplify the presence of the Grand Canyon's magnificent lands and to elevate the film by giving it a human touch reaching for the ancient sky's expansive cloud formations with her uplifting voice.
