Soundtrack scouts: check this out. 'Watersongs' is memorably cinematic. The ethereal arpeggios back a thoughtful -yet precisely articulated- theme. The music practically calls out for visualization. The professional video editing, choreography, and graphics of this video of a live performance demonstrate how well 'Watersongs' would suit film.

In this time when mediocrity is the accepted standard, it is a welcome distinct difference to hear this high quality performance of beautiful music that is so perfectly choreographed. Superior indeed!
