Even though music has always been my main interest, I
became very stressed out when I was in music school.
It dawned on me that maybe the music I was studying
was causing this stress. So I started looking for
music that would calm my nerves. Maybe I was looking
in the wrong places, but I decided that if I wanted to
hear some truly relaxing music I would have to write
some myself. I'm not talking about whale songs with
tinkling synthesizers and angel blessings. I am
talking about real acoustic instruments played by
humans.
Considering my Western music education, I had to work hard to free the music of the structure of climax and resolution (or "tension and release") that is so prevalent in Western music. I felt that removing climaxes would remove all possible tension. This was not an easy task. It was more of a process of learning how to "let things happen". Recently, I have also become interested in the multi-dimensional anatomy of the human being. SUBTLE BODIES is the name for all of the patterns of energy that we are made of. These patterns vibrate at different rates and are responsible for our health and wellness. Since sound is vibration as well, it makes sense to me that these two interests of mine would meet. What if the vibrations of sound were to harmonize with our bodies' vibrations to create relaxation, wellbeing, and maybe even a glimpse of spiritual enlightenment? This album is my first venture into this realm, and I have learned a lot in the process. I hope that you enjoy this music and find it, at the very least, relaxing. More to come, |
