$5.00 - 20.00 Suggested donation, everyone welcome, no one turned away
Presentation Description:
After establishing a connection with Infinite Source, Larian and Stephen each sit quietly and allow a song or a painting to come through from Divine Spirit. Come and listen to Stephen and Larian explain how they receive their individual unique gifts of creating songs and images for people, places and things. Through their rare journeys along the sacred path, heart-warming experiences have touched many souls deeply, inspiring them to find their own sacred paths.
Their joint effort has resulted in a DVD entitled Mystical Vibrations, which is like flying with Spirit, watering the emotions, firing the passions and grounding remembrances. Sit and relax and go within as you listen to Stephen's performance and watch Larian's moving images. Join us as we explore the Creative process by combining sound and color for meditation, relaxation, yoga, etc.
Presenter's Biographies:
Steve Pike began playing on the piano when he was four years old, finding sounds in the world and matching them up with notes on the keyboard. He became a professional at the age of 14, and spent the next decade performing a wide variety of music styles. From rock to country, swing to jazz standards, he played piano, guitar, bass, banjo, mandolin, auto harp, harmonica and percussion. Eventually playing a Hammond B-3 organ, he kicked bass pedals in a power trio, covering songs by groups like Santana and Chicago.
After playing the club circuit throughout the 70's, he decided to take a break from the music scene and explore other avenues of creativity. Becoming a self-taught commercial photographer, he moved to Seattle where he owned a successful photography studio for six years. Returning to Missoula, Montana, Steve continued his photographic career exploring the artistic boundaries of the medium. Examples of his photographic work can be seen on his CD covers.
He began composing original instrumental music in 1992, when he found a keyboard that contained digital samples of all those instruments that he played back in the 60's & 70's. He was influenced by Swiss harpist Andreas Vollenweider, Yanni, Kitaro, Justin Hayward of the Moody Blues and the outrageous creativity of Bela Fleck, (all of whom he saw in concert during one 6 month period).
Inspired by his interaction with nature and wild birds, Steve worked on his compositions for four years and released his first CD "For All Who Fly" in 1996.
During 2000 he played keyboard for Spokane area bands ( The New Desotos, The Culprits, Papa Glen & Border Run, Mojo, The Bel Airs). Returning to his inspirational resources in early 2001, he released his second CD, "Wind Spirit" - music for relaxation.
In July of 2001 he played the Ritzville blues festival with Chris Hiatt, and opened for Bo Diddley.

Larian creates digital mixed media Paintings, Some are as bright and complex as a kaleidoscope, while others are as soft and gentle as a summer rain. Yet each one offers an intriguing visual experience.
Originally from California, Larian has painted since childhood. Over time, he moved from landscape images made with the palette knife in limited earth tones, into Visionary-Mystical and Abstract works
He established his first gallery in Laguna Beach, California, selling three paintings to a curious passerby who happened along before the paint on the walls had dried. Later a visitor from France recommended Larian's work for consideration by the International Academy of Lutec (Arts & Letters) in Paris. Subsequently awarded the Academy's Silver Medal, Larian is one of the few Americans to have received this honor.
Larian's work has been exhibited in galleries in New York, the Midwest, California, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, and is represented in private and corporate collections throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, Japan, and Australia.
