Vyktoria's second CD, This Guardian At Noon, was recorded in the fall of 1997 in only five days and earned Vyktoria a "Best New Age Vocalist" award at the Wammies (Washington D.C. Music Awards). Produced by VPK and Christian Quick at Stillness Sound in Warrenton, VA, this ten song collection has a mystical theme throughout and displays some of Vyktoria's most powerful and progressive songwriting. Vyktoria's idea was to record all the vocals and guitar live in one or two takes, and then for her and Christian to do most of the overdubbing and playing of instruments themselves in a completely spontaneous way. Christian would be upstairs making tea and Vyk would be at the board going over some part on an exotic instrument and would just press record when it was ok. What materialized from the ethers was a very unique record of multilayered acoustic guitar, dumbek, bells, pleiadians, bowed cymbal, e-bow, backwards loops, crickets, flying saucers and some very Neptunian singing. This Guardian At Noon was the album that landed Vyktoria the Jethro Tull tour, and if it's good enough for Ian... Songs:
