Fall to the Sky is a collaboration that was inspired by an incredible collection of bronze reliefs by Arizona sculpture artist, John Henry Waddell and music by Chieli Minucci and Kris Lanzaro. Waddell's work, called Rising was just recently completed after eleven years of hard work. Waddell hopes to find a home for this collection, possibly in New York as a dedication to the victims of 911. Chielis music, Jewel in the Desert Sky was originally released as Jewels back in 1995 and was recently reworked, remixed, rearranged and completely rewritten, in collaboration with Lanzaro who lives in Germany. This process of completing the new rendition all took place via cyberspace! Fall to the Sky embraces the human spirit in search of enlightenment and peace. This premiere collaboration is dedicated to the memories of loved ones lost to disease, war and all tragedies.
