Ghost Deer | Art Davis

This EP is an exploration into mystery. I live out in the country on a few acres of land next to a pond and a small creek. Wildlife is everywhere and is a huge inspiration to me. I frequently compose out on a twenty by forty foot screened in porch on the back of my house. The EP is a set of tone poems reflecting my impressions of this environment. The EP features three piano pieces and one piece for cello choir (performed by Clay Ruede) and piano.

​

Ghost Deer is my attempt to capture the wonder of an amazing pale, almost white, deer that frequents my property. Last Rain is a very minimal piano piece about that moment when rain first begins to fall on the pond. I've always thought that is such a magical moment. Quatrieme Bagatelle for cello choir and piano is a short simple piece - a bagatelle - a trifle. Night Bloom for piano is my impression of beautiful flowers that bloom only at night in the woods. Again this EP is all about mystery.
