about

Cloudlands is a collection of six improvisations that feature the guzheng – a 2,000-year-old Chinese instrument. How did a musician born in North Dakota and raised in Cleveland end up making music on the guzheng? The unlikely tale began for Morron with a family trip to Florida and continued to unfold when he reconnected with a musician friend living in Shanghai. Cloudlands is “a collection of musical conversations between old friends,” explained Morron. “Each improvised piece is haunting and beautiful, dissonant and harmonious.” The tracks captured on the album represent years of close collaborations yet display creative spontaneity.
