Light at Mt. Fuji
Aeoliah was born and raised in Germany until he was ten. He then immigrated to the US with his parents. He completed his university training at the University of New Mexico in 1972, graduating cum laude with a degree in fine arts. During his early teens, he took formal music lessons on the violin and played in his local high school orchestra. However, his true love was always the piano. In 1979, while he was in the process of completing a painting entitled "Music of the Spheres", he began to hear tonal harmonics that corresponded to the healing tones and colors in the painting. He then got the idea that light and sound are somehow linked as universal forms of energy, and this became his inspiration and vision to create his first album, "Inner Sanctum" in 1980.
