Taking Art Alley by 'Storm'

Musician David Meader releases his first CD Saturday

Posted

Thursday, Oct. 20 — David Meeder believes that the flute is a “heart-centered”instrument: You carve the “heart” out of the instrument, but when you play ityou put the heart back into it to create the music. He has been playing musicfor over 30 years and calls his first album, “Eye of the Storm,” “a labor oflove” inspired by vacant buildings in Detroit.

Meeder was once an energy auditor and consultant and spent alot of time driving through Detroit, and his music is based on the “modern-dayruins” he saw.

To Meeder, “Eye of the Storm” means entering a great changeto find the peaceful center, which is what he wants his music to represent tothe audience.

According to Meeder, Native American music is an expressivegenre of its own, and a listener takes just one song, they won’t get the wholepicture. “They all work together to tell a different story,” he says.

Meeder will perform at a CD release party at Art Alley at 7p.m. Saturday, Oct. 22. Admission is free, but Art Alley suggests a $5suggested donation.
