about

After composing music for independent features, shorts, and industrials during the 1990s, I found myself creating a series of solo piano pieces that were dramatic, cinematic, and theatrical (going against the New Age trend of the time) -- some based on improvisations, and others from unfinished "songs without words." A visit to an astronomer's retreat in New Mexico gave me what I was looking for -- a concept that would tie everything together. From the *Reign of Fire* liner notes:

"The life cycles of stars parallel the passing of the seasons and the changes in an individual's life. I was inspired to put together the *Reign of Fire* concept album during a trip to the Star Hill Inn in Sapello, New Mexico -- where the night sky seemed to speak of a common unity of cosmic and personal cycles. Each of the 16 pieces in this collection represents a star -- chosen for its seasonal appearance in the skies of the Northern Hemisphere, the legends and stories surrounding it, and our knowledge of the stage in its own immense life cycle. I'm attempting to provide a naturalistic rather than astrological perspective of the cosmic connection between the stars and ourselves."
-- Jeannie Novak (September 1997)
