Spirit Warriors
Album tracks
This seven song EP was motivated by the massive response to the song, "Spirit Warriors", a three way collaboration with two wonderful European musicians; that, Steve met through a Swedish musician's website, called MI7.com. Steve used this recording on the sound score for a promotional video trilogy, called "Tikanagan Dreams"; that he directed for "Frontiers Foundation", a Canadian non-profit Aboriginal organization, that Steve has been active as a project coordinator over the past ten years. Stephen contributed the song lyric from his home in Toronto, "Henning Backhaus", who plays keyboard with a German progressive rock band, called "Time Passengers", composed & arranged this transcendent masterpiece, at his recording studio on his farm in Bavaria; and, the beautiful Swedish singer/songwriter, "Lotte Kivikas", contributed haunting vocal & back-up vocal tracks, that perfectly captured the Aboriginal tone of the piece. Though we were not originally expecting the vocally shy Henning to sing, the arrangement was so subtle, that he had to; so, Loki would know where to come in, when she recorded her tracks, at her home in Stockholm.
