Siyotanka
"Siyotanka" (pronounced see-yoh-tahn-kah) is a soul-stirring and fascinating musical journey by Michael Brant DeMaria. The music is the award-winning soundtrack to an original play by DeMaria and Stephen C. Lott titled "Siyotanka: The Legend of the Flute." The play is based on the Lakota legend, which tells of the quest to find one's soul song and the journey each of us must take to become our true selves, risking ridicule, fear, and danger. Demaria composed and performed all of the music on piano, synthesizer, and a host of beautiful Native American flutes. Also a practicing clinical psychotherapist, an adjunct professor at three institutions, and the author of several books and papers, Dr. DeMaria has performed onstage with artists such as R. Carlos Nakai, Mary Youngblood, and David Darling. He has played keyboards and percussion since childhood, but he first heard the haunting sounds of the Native American flute while enacting a traditional vision quest in the wilds of Canada fifteen years ago - an encounter that changed his life. The music of "Siyotanka" ranges from flute with light percussion and/or nature sounds in the background to Native American chants and vocals to cinematic sweeps with pulsating drums, the call of eagles, and light orchestration. Some of the pieces are quite ambient where others are somewhat more melodic. And the power and understated intensity of the rhythmic passages place this right next to the Sacred Spirit CDs of years past, sans the electronic dance beats. This album will deeply affect you with its energy and sincerity. It is also worth mentioning that 10% of the profits from this CD will go to Native American charities. The world of "Siyotanka" takes the listener on a musical odyssey of mystery and imagination into the very heart of life.  And upon arrival, it will inspire a very full recognition of what an amazing place this truly is.
