Sage Wisdom

"Good improvisation communicates harmonic progression melodically. Effective melodies manipulate harmonic content through the use of guide tones and preparatory gravity notes, masterfully woven in systematic tension, release, and transparent harmonic definition."

July 4, 2006 | Stephen Owsley Smith

It's the 4th of July here in the US, "Independence Day." Though we aren't normally intrigued by fireworks, the work of builder Stephen Owsley Smith has sparked our curiousity, especially his signature "Fireworks" design Celtic Mandolin, Octave, and Bouzouki. A victim of his own success, he is currently unable to take on any new orders, but that doesn't prevent us from lighting the fires of M.A.S. a bit and admiring the bold and billiant aesthetic pyrotechnics in his section of the celticmusic.com website.
