"Where the Lava Learned to Sing" invites you on a profound journey of self-discovery and musical awakening. Meet Will, a "lost cause" musician in his mid-70s, who arrives on the mystical Big Island of Hawaii, seeking a quiet joy to close out his life's chapter. What he finds instead is Walt, an enigmatic, renowned musician who famously "vanished" from the world's grand stages to chase the "real music" - the raw, unproduced ballad of the Earth. Walt's unconventional wisdom will lead Will on a pilgrimage across the island, where every landscape, every sound, and every silence becomes a profound lesson.
Through Walt's eyes, music theory transforms from abstract concepts into living metaphors tied to the very heartbeat of Hawaii. You'll explore the Nashville Number System not as mere numbers, but as a "compass" for life. The island's elevations reveal the true essence of a Major Scale, while the desolate lava flows of Kalapana illuminate the emotional "intervals" between notes and life's contrasting moments. Chapters unfold like musical progressions, each introducing a chord (from the "home base" I to the "tension" of the V and the "soulful memory" of the vi). Readers will delve into the deep rhythm of nature and Hawaiian culture, learning that timing isn't counted, but "felt" in the sway of palms, the crash of waves, and ancient chants. Walt's insights reveal that true "expression" and "style" are not about flashy performance, but about the honest, unique voice that emerges from deep listening and personal truth, exemplified by Hawaiian legends and local life.
As Will journeys from the vibrant streets of Hilo to the sacred slopes of Kilauea and the stargazing heights of Mauna Kea, he immerses himself in a world where volcanoes modulate like songs and silence is as meaningful as any note. This novel is a cultural tapestry, rich with references to pidgin, paniolo, kupuna (elders), Pele (the goddess of fire), ancient wayfinding techniques, and the profound wisdom embedded in the land itself. By the end, Will isn't just a visitor; he's transformed, carrying the island's song within him, ready to compose the next chapter of his own unique melody - a melody no one else could write, born of listening deeply to the world and to himself.
"Where the Lava Learned to Sing" is more than a story; it's an invitation to rediscover the music that lives in every breath, every landscape, and every quiet moment of your own life.
