Union began as a live recording of a semi-traditional Jewish wedding ceremony held in
Yosemite National Park. Samples were extracted from the wedding ritual as well as from the
wealth of nature to be found in Yosemite. The babbling of a brook, the wind in the trees,
the voice of the rabbi... a variety of elements were brought together to create the
astounding 28 tracks that are Union.
Initially small musical fragments were created to accompany the texts and photographs of
the Union web installation viewable at http://www.vialuminosa.com/union/. These first fragments were
then re-mixed and lengthened and expanded upon to create a more detailed assortment of
stand alone musical pieces. Each track blends into the next for a smooth experimental
ambient electronic listening experience laced with traces of glitch and tribal. Download it or buy it from CDBaby

"Having listened to Union several times, from
beginning to end, I know I cannot write a standard review. Normally, I would single out
certain tracks and write my opinion of them. With Union, this is impossible because this
is not about individual songs but about a sixty-three minute masterpiece of sounds.
I love the sounds of Yosemite National Park interweaving with the sounds of those present
at the Jewish wedding. All this floats gently in and out from within very soothing and
deeply felt music.
Union is an almost spiritual collection of sounds that will transport you into a very
peaceful and relaxed state. It is truly magical.
Union is an awe-inspiring and exquisite creation. For me, it is proof that Kyron is a
vastly talented man who has passion and love for what he composes. With the marvelous
sounds of nature and the profoundly spiritual array of Jewish wedding samples drifting in
and out of the music, there can be no faulting of this work of art."
