"I am deeply touched by this piece. I cannot help but become teary... Thank you, this work is a MAJOR addition to the repertoire...... I feel (and AM) blessed! Wow"

--------— Peter Sheridan, March 2008

""Peter Sheridan presents a kaleidoscope of flutes on this CD and honours every single flutemaker by playing their instruments so marvellously. In "Below" he appears to master my subcontrabassflute in a way I had never thought possible!"

--------— Jelle Hogenhuis - Designer of low flutes, 2009

Erupting beneath the surface is a stunning world of liquid beauty and grace. Hidden from our eyes and even our imagination, this private sanctuary envelopes life and hope. Follow your ears and your heart to the depths of a place we sometimes forget to look.
