SOTIW: Press

I first learned of Michael Joseph in 2005 with his release of "O-Glepi" which is a hauntingly beautiful set of 12 tracks. Michael combined his talents on both flute and acoustic guitar. The result is a peaceful journey that I continue to enjoy 3 years later.

Michael and Derek Mortland have created SOTIW (pronounced So too), "Sketches in Time". This music is best described as a New Age, Eclectic, World and fusion Jazz, and it has no boundaries.

It all works flawlessly from the first note of the first track, right to the end of the CD. When you have finished this journey you will feel invigorated, and craving for more!

"..."Sketches in Time", beautiful title for work where the time it seems not to have capacity and the only thing that matters is music and the feelings that this produces."

Full Review is as follows:

"Sketches Of The Inner World" conocido por la abreviatura SOTIW es el proyecto tras el que se encuentran Michael Joseph y Derek Mortland. Michael es un sensacional interprete de la flauta nativa de lo indios americanos y Derek toca la guitarra acústica, de esta unión ha surgido este proyecto que se adentra en los elementos de la World Music, la New Age, Jazz Fusion,...
"Sketches In Time" es una fusión de dos estilos, de dos sonidos, de dos sentimientos, la espiritualidad y la dulzura de la flauta se une a la fuerza de la guitarra para crear unos paisajes y unos momentos llenos de sensaciones, llenos de sentimiento, llenos de intensidad.
"Bocetos en el Tiempo", un hermoso título para un trabajo donde el tiempo parece no tener cabida y lo único que importa es la música y los sentimientos que esta produce.

Gracias por sus palabras buenas. Somos agradecidos a usted.

“An emotional journey into the vulnerability of smooth flowing streams, into an ambient transgression of South American influenced guitar flowing into the turbulent falls of a Pink Floyd uncertainty- rescued by the warm melting tone of Native American Indian flute.”

“A very clean, clear and well recorded acoustic release. …fresh smooth original compositions. Derek is sensational and Michael's flute is as good as anything I have in my library. The selections are very diverse and the entire song list flows well, easy listening with twists that entertain thought and emotions.”
