Time Will Tell was my first CD, released in January 2000. This was my first recording experience. On the CD, I play acoustic guitar and sing throughout. Adam Zampino produced and recorded the CD and played piano, keyboard, and guitar on most of the songs. He also added some vocal harmonies, along with his wife Michelle Foss-Zampino, on a few songs. There are eleven original songs on the CD, which I had composed lyrics and music to over a number of years. The CD includes the song "The Sun Will Shine Again"; one of the first songs I ever wrote, at age l6. The title Time Will Tell signifies my leap back into the musical world. I was inspired to return to my music by the blessing of my son Adam coming to live with me and my husband, after he had graduated from college. At the time, I was working fulltime as a psychiatric nurse clinical specialist and had little energy to do my music. His piano and guitar musical creations inspired my singing again. I dusted off the guitar and began singing and playing after a number of dormant years. Writing music and words soon followed, and once again, I was struck by the muse. Time Will Tell includes writing about environmental and social issues. The song "In The Palm of Our Hand" is a plea for caring about the earth, and the song "This Body is My Home" addresses the insanity of distorted body images imposed by the mass media, imprisoning women in our culture. "Dream of the Leap" is a personal narrative about resisting change, and the internal dialogue one faces dealing with fear which is often unfounded. This song in particular has become my mantra whenever I fall back into the human condition of self doubt. "Zen of the Moment" speaks about making the most out of the time we do have here, living on this Earthly plane.
Ancient Voices released September 2004 order through cdbaby.com Ancient Voices available at Best Buy (type "Angela Masciale" into the box on the site) e-mail: angelamasciale@aol.com
The CD "Ancient Voices" is my second album, a modern folk compilation of thirteen original songs. The title track, "Dolphin's Ancient Voices", is a song about the struggle between world unity and the discord of modern existence. Plunging into dolphin's waters one reconnects to the harmony of the web of life. The cello becomes the ancient voice of unity and world peace. The first song on the CD, "Something Will Stick", whistles the voice of a loving father, forever encouraging his child to become all that one can be. Whereas, in the song "I Can't Go Back", there is an underlining discord between father and mother, which represents the voice of struggle and ambivalence in claiming one's own personal power, to pursue his or her dreams in this modern world. "Phantom Limb" gives voice to the victims of 9/11, honoring their burial ground. The ancient voice sings of vulnerability and empowering oneself to go on in the face of adversity. The truth about the modern world we live in unravels in the song, "Run Away Freedom Train": the seed of peace, struggling against the violence of war. The last song on the CD, "Requium for the Earth", tells the story of the creation of the atomic bomb, the ultimate severing of our connection to the web of life. Rooted in Native American myth, the flute becomes the voice of apocalyptic warning. "Cinderella You're Free" and "Don't Push Me Through Glass" speak the truth of relationships and family dysfunction, conveying us along the journey of overcoming and metamorphosis. "Black Widow's Web" and "She Found Love" contrast the pain of unrequited passion with the voice of harmonious love. The theme of communing with nature exists in many of my songs, offset by the hard reality of modern existence. I sing about the struggle of the true self desiring to emerge through the currents of modern world violence and destruction.
