Spontaneous Composition Bursts Into Realization

Wertico Cain & Gray have just released Realization as a limited edition Video-On-Demand with 2 free bonus videos, Conversations and a Director’s Commentary. The music was recorded live at the Shure Theater and Reelsounds Studios, Chicago. The short films feature faces from around the world as well as NASA highlights, a ballerina, 3D animation… It’s a trip, an adventure, and a meditation on free-flowing life. 

7-time Grammy Award winner Paul Wertico, (Pat Metheny Group, Kurt Elling...), David Cain, and Larry Gray (Jack DeJohnette, Larry Coryell...) came together to form Wertico Cain & Gray to realize new music and art, winning a prestigious music award along the way (IMA Best Album, Live Performance 2014). Chicago-based, this spontaneous trio composes and orchestrates everything in real-time, melting acoustic and electronic sounds with new-tech, and musically conversing to the point of sheer telepathy. Realization filmmaking by David Cain is reminiscent of the Renoir and Godard auteur theory, with a personal signature visible from film to film, relating to how you experience life. Realization is an analogy of organic creativity, as seen and heard, and flows freely as music and as film. Go to the theater of the mind through your eyes and ears. Energize. Meditate. Dream. You deserve it.
