I am very happy this morning. After several days of risking the swirling, foggy depths of memory, I stumbled upon a New Age artist I had been trying to remember. The CD (called Portraits) is long gone. But the beautiful, haunting sounds have stayed with me. Ingram Marshall’s Fog Tropes blew me away when I discovered it at Wherehouse Records or Flat, Black & Circular some time back in the late 80s while I was in college.

This live performance is amazing. I can’t help thinking back to conversations with Bonnie Dee and Brian about the French horn, and various trumpeters, when I worked at Curious Books in the late 90s/early 2000s.

You might also enjoy the gallery of The Sublime series, which seems connected.
