DAVE EGGAR QUARTET
Artist Bio:
For cellist Dave Eggar, the parallels between Mozart and yoga reside in the sense of flow and grace we feel in our bodies. ''Where Mozart intersects with yoga is in the depth of these pieces corresponding to the depths of your body on an energetic level,'' says Eggar.
Just as a master musician creates an effortless journey between each phrase of a piece of music, so the yogi is able to flow through sequential postures with natural poise. For Eggar, this idea was thefoundation of his new album, The Yoga Sessions: Dave Eggar Quartet: MOZART
As an artist, Eggar has also recorded three celebrated New Age albums: Serenity, Angelic Embrace, Left of Blue, and most recently, Kingston Morning, which features contributions by reggae legends Luciano and Sly and Robbie. Eggar's diversity extends through his studio work, recording with the likes of COLDPLAY, Amy Lee and Evanescence, and FLUX Quartet; as well as being featured on numerous original scores for film.
The emotion Eggar, Schommer and Golub hope to conjure on The Yoga Sessions is joy. Trudging through the struggles and depths of self-realization need not be a burden. As in music, Eggar believes yoga should be practiced as a celebration of body and spirit. ''Music is very architectural for me,'' he says; musical movements, just like life, are parts of a larger gesture, and that foundation needs to be solidly built.
