Cornflower's debut album, from his new record label Time is Art Records, is bursting with energy and potential. His fusion of world, funk, electro-pop, trance and beatbox with tinges of indigenous and aboriginal influences, makes for a deep listening experience. With his improvisational style, Cornflower's unique song structures and musical movements will surprise you as each passing beat and melody unfold before your ears.

The title track "Journey into Sound" is an invitation to the listener, communicating the ride that one is about to take while listening to the album. Then emerges "In the Moment", a jazzy, improvisational scat piece that is reminiscent of one of his main influences Bobby McFerrin. "Wizards & Witches" has a great hook that carries you as Cornflower repeats the sacred hierarchy of our lineal purpose. The songs "Heartshine" and "One Drop" are upbeat and emotive, while giving a glimpse deeper into the personal path that Cornflower is on. "Calling to Source" is the epic of the album, showing off his jam band and electronica musical roots, as he segways from a hip-hop rock groove into a classic drum & bass loop. Making a special appearance on the last track "Oceanwater" is guitar maestro Jeff Pevar, known for his time as lead guitarist for CPR, Marc Cohn, Jazz is Dead and Phil Lesh & Friends. Pevar's additions to Cornflower's ode to our precious oceans, brings a refreshing glimpse at what can happen when his voice is accompanied by multi instrumental layerings, that really showcases the true musicianship and potential of this new voice on the scene.

This album is a collection of music compiled from 2 live performances and one improvisational studio recording. The music on this album is created solely by Cornflower's mouth. He sings into a microphone that runs through a loop station (a piece of music hardware that takes what he is singing in real-time and loops it on the spot so he can add new layers on top of each other). The only song that has more than Cornflower's voice is "Oceanwater" which features the guitar maestro Jeff Pevar on bass and guitar.

Cornflower's intentions with his music are to inspire creativity and a deeper connection to the ever-present moment. Cornflower believes that from this place of inspired presence we can achieve things that are beyond our wildest dreams. Finally, this music is a celebration of Life.

The art on the cover was a collaboration between many individuals. The photo was taken by photographer Rory Finney. The artwork was created by Cornflower's alter-ego John Francis Coughenour.
His wife, Nikita Gearing, was an essential part of it's design, as well as guitarist and friend Jeff Pevar.

The inspiration behind the photo on the front cover was from Cornflower's wifes brother Mark Gearing, who after one of Cornflower's performances, had a dream that the music was coming out of Cornflower's hands in the form of stars. Unbeknownst to Mark, Cornflower's intentionally uses his hands to move the sound when he is performing his music.
