Randy
Alan Motz - “Windtalker”
Since
his teens, Randy Alan Motz has been involved in
music, either as a performer or as a live sound engineer. The
1990’s brought two momentous events that would forever change the course
of his musical career. The first being a renewed Christian faith and the
other was successfully completing training as a recording engineer. Taking
a position at Omega Recording Studios as the Marketing Representative for
Contemporary Christian and Gospel Artists married both his faith and his
love for music. He then
acquired additional certificates in both Music Business and MIDI
/Synthesizers and served as Producer on numerous recording projects. This
immersion in and renewed passion
for music fostered a desire to write and record his own music but present
it in a unique way.
This songwriting genesis began after having attended two separate concerts. The first was a Yanni concert, where the powerful blending of a full orchestra, rock instrumentation and a multitude of ethnic stylings captured his creative imagination. The second was a concert by Robert Mirabal. So taken by the inter-weaving of Native American instruments with rock drums, electric guitar, bass and the lush sounds of an effects-laden cello, the die was now cast. The goal was to produce soothing and inspirational music that would blend these influences and would present a sonically lush orchestral environment for peaceful meditation and reflection with Native American instruments as the focal point.
