"There’s always a personal movie playing in my imagination when I write. I see images of the pieces I am writing music for, and then I illustrate the details with the music,” the California-based sonic auteur shares. “For this album, I returned to a magical place. I know how much my fans and followers love my fairy music, and I wanted to create something special for them."

Fairy Fantasy invites you to close your eyes and let cascading melodies unveil a royal court of sound. Step into a fairy kingdom and be carried away by calming, healing, and renewing songs, featuring musicians who have made some of David Arkenstone’s most popular recordings sparkle.
Joining once again for this sonic sojourn are flutist Kimberly Zaleski and internationally acclaimed American/French-Canadian violinist Luanne Homzy. At the heart of it all is composer and multi-instrumentalist David Arkenstone, performing on keyboards, guitar, accordion, bass, mandolin, harp, marimba, and percussion.

"I enjoy creating a musical escape hatch for listeners to pass through as they experience my fairy albums, entering a fantastical world,” the California-based recording artist says. “Kimberly and Luanne bring life to this album with their intuitive and evocative musicianship. It’s a joy to work with these musicians and to sonically paint how a fairy kingdom might look and feel."

Step into the world of the Woodland Pixies. Let the magic of the fairies guide you to your brightest dreams as you enter a fantastic realm of inspiring sounds.
