Filled with piercing whale screams, their invisible proximity, the album «Grooved Whales» by Canadian violinist and composer Lisa Walker is an esthetically complete picture of primordial being, realized via animal world. There are no misty images or thickened colours in Lisa’s creative work. Instead it’s filled with universal and expressive perception of the world. The key to understanding Lisa’s philosophy lies in the correlation of herself with the natural world, because she’s not placing herself above nature. In the album «Grooved Whales» nature doesn’t appear as something individual and subjectively perceivable, it’s the element inspiring pieces of art created by the violinist’s talent. Lisa Walker is a sympathetic observer and an active participant in the ecological processes, hence the true love and respect towards the environment and it’s inhabitants. Lisa doesn’t exploit natural sonic environment during composing to give her music an exotic flair and freshness. After working for many years in the research centre in Alaska she is very drawn to the objects of her love - the Humpback Whales, the theme of this relationship is running through all compositions of the album. Nobleness and natural sensitiveness are the main qualities of «Grooved Whales». The violin parts by Lisa performed underwater combine the refinement and aristocracy of the classical instrument with the softness and virginity of oceanic environment. The relationship «nature - civilization» is viewed from a different angle in the music of Lisa, where man is not the king of nature, but one of its numerable atoms. «Grooved Whales» provides you with valuable psychological experience, akin to the experience of Gulliver’s transformation of conscience after he left the land of Lilliputians and found himself on the Island of Giants.
