Form of Flight

Produced and Recorded by Tim Bluhm of The Mother Hips directly after his life-threatening para-gliding accident during his year of healing, and mixed by Tim remotely from ICU during his final surgery, Form of Flight is a collection of 11 of The Mother Hips' songs reimagined for female voice, piano, and orchestral sounds.  Featuring Alison Harris, Pat Sansone (Wilco), Dave Schools (Widespread Panic, Hard Working Americans), Brad Jones (Chuck Prophet, Josh Rouse, Over the Rhine), and Tim Bluhm, Form of Flight was released in February 2019.  Artwork by Molly Tuttle. ​​​

Form of Flight is a journey of healing, a merging of timeless self expression and creativity with the classical sounds of strings and symphonic instruments.  Music can carry us through the triumphs and tragedies of life, momentous changes, and rebuilding what has been destroyed.  Music is an unfailing source of light, an unending transformation of human experience into sounds that lift our spirits above the darkness. Form of Flight is a tribute to that creative and musical power.

- Alison Harris and Tim Bluhm

This project fell out of the sky and into my life at a time when I was navigating many new paths in my personal and professional life. Inspired by the words of Greg Loiacano in the song, Freed From A Prison, “The music is the one thing I can’t live without”, I threw caution to the wind and bravely embarked on making Form of Flight in faith that making music is what I am here on this earth to do. This project was a true labor of love and process of healing. It was an honor to reimagine these classic songs by The Mother Hips in a new light and I can’t wait to share them with the long-time fans as well as my community and beyond.

By supporting Form of Flight, you will be contributing to the production costs of making this album and enabling my dream to release it on vinyl. 

Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything. Thank you for your support.
