4-Time Grammy® Nominee David Arkenstone Releases THE DELICATE BALANCE to Help Ease Tensions and Bolster Hope
Inspired by current events, Arkenstone invites the fragile world to “Go on an adventure… from home!”
“These are songs of reflection, wonder and hope,” shares Arkenstone. “The songs sonically include the intimacy of the piano, to purely textural soundscapes …. During this present situation, I found myself deeply contemplating the fragility of life and our planet, my love for family and friends, mortality, and how no one is exempt from this assault…music has always been a powerful healing force within me and I just felt compelled to write The Delicate Balance.”
Arkenstone improvised a couple of the tracks. “For instance, on ‘What We Do In Life . . . Echoes In Eternity,’ I allowed myself to more or less improvise and record that as the basic track,” says Arkenstone. “I closed my eyes, tapped into the energy of the moment, and music just flowed.”
Featured on ‘The Delicate Balance’ is virtuoso violinist Luanne Homzy. Both Arkenstone and Homzy recorded alone at their home studios, in accordance with current safety and social distancing guidelines, and the EP was mixed by engineer Jill Tengan…. also alone in the studio.

“I have a lot of faith in our collective spirit. We are all in this together and this challenge to humanity has brought out some of the very best in people. I’m grateful if my music can ease tensions, inspire positivity, cause reflection and provide some hope for the future. All we can all do right now to get through these dangerous days is take care of yourself, care for your family and those close to you as best you can, heed the guidelines, take no unnecessary risks, and be super kind to each other. The world is pretty great place when we all work together. I invite you to allow my music to be the soundtrack to a break from the stress and realities of the moment,” says Arkenstone.
