PAUL GOODMAN - YET

PAUL GOODMAN - YET
An expanse of unchartered instrumental territory where elements of both old and new musical traditions
and ideas co-exist.

Contemplation of here and now was both a starting point and also a constant reference point on the way to
“Yet”.
As a title “Yet” is more about focusing on the truth in each moment rather than the contradictions. About
looking towards the past in order to offer something to the future and also about being specific with goals
while welcoming the outcomes.
Invaluable support and expertise was wholly given during all stages of the process, from the initial
recordings up until the final production, by three exceptional collaborators; Manolia Kokoloyianni, Alexis
Nonis and Thanos Bikos.
Each of whom, while approaching the project as their own brought another complimentary dimension to
my original idea. This was of course expected, but one can never be fully prepared for some outcomes. It
has been humbling and inspiring to have made music with these people while being equally as important
for myself to simply spend time in their presence.
The music, in a way finds it’s own way.
Here and now upon hearing the final result, I feel like an essential part of a much greater whole which has
granted me the honor of presenting itself to you as my own creation.
See what you hear.
I hope you enjoy “Yet” as much as I enjoyed its evolution.
