Running Away

Product Description

Running Away is Timothy s seventh album, comprising twelve tracks of beautiful music ranging from soft and Celtic to more energetic themes. Although classified as New Age, the album is actually genre-defying, encompassing Celtic, Americana and Contemporary Instrumental. Although ideal for meditation and background music, it is meant to be an interactive album. Thus it engages and opens the mind and spirit to different feelings and visions with each song. Listeners have also said that Timothy s albums are perfect for traveling, especially in cars or trains, offering the ideal soundtrack for each new scene. Timothy s previous album What We Hold Dear was nominated for the coveted Best Contemporary Instrumental Album by the Zone Music Reporter, based on a world-wide vote of radio programmers. His previous albums have consistently reached the monthly top ten by a survey of these same programmers. The album features iconic percussionist Jeff Haynes, widely-acclaimed English Horn player Jill Haley and rising-star violinist Josie Quick. Grammy Award winning producer Corin Nelsen co-produced and mastered the album, recorded English Horn and oboe, and mixed the percussion.

Review

Excerpts Running Away is another top class release from the scientist musician who originated from Michigan; and may well be his most successful offering to date; it is filled with enticing and exciting compositions that does the contemporary instrumental field well, and the sublime fluency and charm of this album will no doubt capture your imagination, and take you willingly along for another magical musical ride. Steve Sheppard, One World Music Radio.   Another exercise in the beauty of new age music comes from one of the 21st century s truly talented and prolific keyboardists/pianists Timothy Wenzel. His latest release Running Away is chock full of charming melodies and runs that are bound to steal your heart and soul in their breathtaking delivery. Ronald Jackson, The Smooth Jazz Ride.   Dream of Summer introduced by Josie Quick on violin begins this delicious new album from Timothy Wenzel, Running Away, a piece which sets the scene to run away from the cares of everyday life, if only for a while. Each of the songs is vastly different, presenting a wide range of influences. Janet Mawdesley, Blue Wolf Reviews. Giving it a depth that moves it from being purely new age to a new plateau of contemporary instrumental music that doesn’t quite reside in any particular genre, he serves up a date that’s a great listening experience. Midwest Record   With a unique sound that seeks out beauty and magic, keyboardist, composer, arranger and producer Timothy Wenzel introduces his new album Running Away, in which he continues to prove himself to be one of the most distinguished of New Age musicians… With simple but touching melodies, Running Away at times suggests a leap to medieval music, with a rhythm that takes us back to a more deliberate, straightforward, less disorienting time than the present, with simple, beautiful harmonies that reflect a calm and ordered world. Pablo Rego, Yoga Without Limits In addition to the new age and contemporary instrumental genres, Wenzel s music has strong Celtic and Americana influences. Although it serves its purpose well as meditation and background music, the album should be savored at least a few times with full attention to enjoy the stories it tells as well as the beauty and nuances in the music… Timothy Wenzel has created another exceptional album with Running Away! It is available from Amazon, iTunes and CD Baby.  Kathy Parsons, Mainly Piano What I love in the album is that it is a package all the tracks are not of one genre, and you get a taste of various instruments, moods, and styles… A perfect collection of tracks for traveling and driving, and equally evocative for meditation and relaxation, Running Away is must-have for a genuine music lover, and I congratulate the artists for being the chan
