Dayna finds inspiration in Sonoran desert for new songs,
possible new album

In April of last year, New Jersey native Dayna Kurtz escaped to the desert to
write the songs that have become the foundation for her third studio album.
"I completed most of the songs in a hermitage maintained by some lovely
people for solitary religious introspection. I stayed in an adobe hut on 500
acres in the Sonoran desert in Arizona. There was no electricity, nobody
around for miles, a cot, a table, chair and pitcher. 2 weeks. I brought no
distractions — no novels, only books of writing exercises and poetry. It was
so quiet at night I could hear the blood beat in my ears. It was sublime, and I
wrote constantly. When I wasn't writing I'd take a walk, stop and watch a bug
climbing around a desert flower for an hour. I learned a lot about my friends
when I described this trip to them, and showed them pictures. My artist/writer/
musician friends were mostly envious. But some people looked at the hut
and said, 'Is that a dirt floor?'” Look for a new studio album from Dayna in
early 2006.
