David Darling’s Other Worlds is a unique New Age album that includes his signature pizzicato, vocalizations, solo and choir cellos; while exploring new canvases of piano, electronic music and percussion, expanded with additional soloists. Guest performers include virtuosos Jiebing Chen (Erhu, Zhonghu) and Lili Haydn (Violin). From the meditative “Amelia,” the trance state of “Voyager,” the blending styles of “Other Worlds,” the drivingpizzicato of “The Benedictine,” the emotional “Rendezvous,” and the other compositions, the listener is invited to explore Other Worlds. As a GRAMMY award–winning cellist, composer, teacher, and collaborator, Darling redefined how the cello is played and how music is taught from teaching students, to directing orchestras, to performing on stage. An innovative improviser, he draws on classical, country, jazz, rock, new age, and world music to create compositions that tap deep into listeners’ souls and through which listeners can bring to life their own stories, meaning, and consciousness. "David Darling played the cello the way Georgia O’Keefe painted mountains; decisive, delicate and dedicated to his truth. He could play joy and grief at the same time, the way they occur in life". - Kate Munger
