"...a master work of healing/inspirational/indigenous music..."  ~Midwest Record Recap

"This is one of those rare recordings that grabs you from the first note.
Seiden's music is mesmerizing, contemplative, mournful and hopeful all at once."  ~Wildy's World

Complementary and unifying, voices of Native American flutes, bone and clay whistles are accompanied by conga and Haitian marimbula; a primal yet eloquent mixture of woodwinds and percussion.  This landmark recording is the first Anasazi flute release by a female artist!

All sounds on Memory of Time were created by handcrafted instruments, including one made personally by Seiden, and her Anasazi flute; a replica of a 1200-year old archeological relic.  Jan's pure tones and flawless technique make Memory of Time and unforgettable, inspirational and moving listening experience.

Memory of Time was produced by Peter Phippen (Canyon Records recording artist) and co-produced by Ivar Lunde, Jr. (shared 1st Prize in the 1977 Oslo Concert Hall Composition Contest for symphonic music, and currently principal conductor of the Eau Claire Chamber Orchestra) in the setting of Lunde, Jr.'s state-of-the-art classical music studio.  Phippen and Lunde, Jr. blend their respective expertise in world folk, rock, classical and early music to create a pure sonic experience that allows Seiden's sweet phrases and technical innovation to speak for themselves.

WOODLAND WINDS is a vivid journey with the
Native American flute.  A meditative experience, Jan
Seiden’s  unique style and clear tonality touch the heart. 
Original and lyrical, soothing and uplifting, this music
transports you to a peaceful world of natural wonders.

These songs are inspired by the richness of our natural

by the birds, through the turning of the days and by the
spirits of the people who have lived and dreamed upon
this land.

 Media Reviews:

"Evocative playing makes Woodland Winds a winner!
~ CBC Digital

"Woodland Winds: Throw caution to the wind.... A solo flute set from a rising master in the field... Atmospheric and impressionistic, Seiden's mastery and feel give her the chops to fill the listening space all by herself.  An intense listening session for when you really need to get away from everything and your headphones are your only way out.  Simple and elegant..."
~ Midwest Record Recap

“Woven into the lyrical haunting melodies are visions of the natural world in balance --- powerful music to promote the healing of people and the environments they live and work in.”  
~Sharon Montes, MD - Medical Director, University of Maryland Integrative Medicine, LLC

“Jan’s album beautifully captures the traditional beauty of the American Indian flute.”
~ Jeff Ball - Recording Artist, 2001 Nammy winner

“The 15 original solos heard here demonstrate not only phenomenal breath-work and superb lip-tongue technique, but also demonstrate her poetic soul and passionate heart.”
