| | If These Trees Could Talk CD If These Trees Could Talk Discography of CDs
Akron's If These Trees Could Talk eschews post-rock's tendency toward roller-coaster dynamics -- as well as the slide-rule intricacy of math rock's post-punk wing -- for the moody majesty of June of 44. (Kent's Six Parts Seven also comes to mind.) While there are passages propelled by the frothy churn of loud/soft counterpoints -- as in parts of "The Friscalating Dusklight" -- the music's power is a product of the wonderful three-guitar interplay. But this isn't so much about chords as it is the jutting, slashing, slithering single-note intersections, whose combinations drive the melody as well as lending this music an oceanic quality.Tracks such as "Signal Tree" work a hypnotic thrum, while the psychedelic "41°4'23n, -81°31'4w," in a surprisingly economical three and a half minutes, billows and swoons like the Smashing Pumpkins. This is one of ITTCT's finest traits: Songs don't overstay their welcome; instead, they work out their idea and move along with minimal wankery.by Chris ParkerCleveland Scene MagazineLike the Six Parts Seven, another area group known for its rock soundscapes, Akron's If These Trees Could Talk proves in its self-titled six-song debut that you don't need vocals to ooze emotion. In fact, lyrics would only get in the way of the Trees' dense, flowing sound. This album emotes like Explosions in the Sky, rocks like Tool, and breaks and builds like Godspeed You! Black Emperor. The crystal-clear production and flawless musical performances make this a local instrumental album that stands high above the mire.by Joe MinadeoCleveland Scene MagazineThe mutterings of superflora ...

If anyone wants to know my life's story, I would have to tell them it's all centered around singing God's praises. Gospel music has been in my spirit since I was a 12 year old child. I sang in the young peoples' choir at my home church in Peoria, Ill. I used to be very nervous but I had a good "coach", the director of the choir, who encouraged me by saying, "just close your eyes and open your mouth and sing for Jesus." If it had not been for her encouragement, I probably would have never stepped forward.Then as I grew older, I went on to the young adult choir and used to be one of the lead singers. Eventually, I stepped forward as a soloist. I went from church to church as the Lord opened doors for me to solo. I wasn't as nervous but was rejoicing in every opportunity to lift up the name of Jesus.I organized a children's choir which I had to direct, teach and even play the piano. I was glad for the experience of that along with being assistant director of the young adult choir, as well. Years later, I also directed, taught, and accompanied a teenage choir in Missouri. It was a challenge but I was able, with the help of the Lord, to stand up against adversity.I've soloed in Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma, and here in Atlanta, Georgia. Several cities within those 4 states have opened doors for me. I gave a concert in my home town of Peoria 2 years ago and will be on tour to Peoria, Milwaukee, and Grandview, Mo. this summer ( June, July, and August /'06) I also was chief lead singer in the praise team of the church where I was licensed and ordained.I'm on the radio and internet (see my web site) and now with CD Baby's help my songs will be heard around the world. God is AWESOME!!!! There's no telling where God will take me to sing and preach his gospel message. I'm willing and ready to go wherever He chooses to send me for as long I live, breathe, and have my being on earth. HALLELUJAH!There are several people that have helped me along the way to get to the place that I am now. I almost hate to start naming names because I'm bound to forget someone. I'll apologize if there is anyone I forget to name because I appreciate and thank God for everyone He has sent my way to assist me in becoming a recording gospel artist.Well, here goes....first let me give ALL of the honor, glory, power, and dominion to the Lord Jesus because He's the one who chose me when I didn't know to choose Him. He's the one who anointed ...
