about

Anyone can walk the stairs leading up into the palm of the enormous hand that extends toward the mountains near the city of Cebu in the Philippines.
The hand is at Sirao Flower Gardens, where windmills and statues stand among the countless sunflowers, tulips and other plants. Over 1,000 feet above sea level, Sirao is a colorful sanctuary that can only be found in the Philippines, yet it is unlike any other tourist attraction there.
The music of “Life on Bird Mountain” began with a trip Steve Targo took with his family to the Philippines, where they visited Sirao and Seagull Mountain Resort -- which is on a different island, up a different mountain. In Davao, past a giant eagle statue, Seagull offers endlessly breathtaking panoramas and respite from the tropical heat. And a jungle waterfall.
While staying in the Philippines, Targo dreamt of a place called “Bird Mountain,” which encompassed many of the sights he experienced. The way it was in his dream is how it appears in cover photo of this album, which was taken at Sirao.
Perhaps as a way to preserve the dream and the trip, Targo wanted to create a soundtrack for it all -- environmental music for those who visit Bird Mountain, a mythical place residing in his subconscious.
As an album, “Life on Bird Mountain” takes the Inner Travels project someplace new. It is at once a more playful and melodic album, but also more mysterious and experimental.
The intention of this album is the same as all by Inner Travels -- to bring listeners peace.

Reduced, simple sounds, reminiscent of minimal kankyo productions. Slow + calming ambient with distinct patterns rather than all-encompassing fields. Karl Grundmann
