Pete's Thoughts
Chad Kinsey and I had been playing around with various incarnations of a live improvisational ensemble. That style developed into this cd. We felt it would be much more manageable to do it as a duo than an ensemble, and that turned out to be right. From the 1st soaring guitar cords on at the 1st session to mixing the trax, this was pure meditation in doing. Chad and I played to a piece of art (which became the cover) to make sure the vibe remained consistent in tone and movement. That was a fun approach and helped break with convention. Chad played mostly unrecognizable guitar sounds while I played mostly Middle Eastern and Asian hand drums – no big African sounds here. This cd was a stretch and prepared me for becoming an intentional antenna.

Grace and Equilibrium - Horizon Project 2002
Horizon Project paints wheat field landscapes with lush ambient pastoral guitar over pulsing rusty purple percussion. Pete Barnhart and Chad Kinsey gracefully tiptoe across the ever revealing horizon line.
