notes

in an expanding world of available music, Levi Chen's unique musical voice is instantly recognizable. Performing solo, or with his ensembled Liquid Gardens, Levi's sound is a gift for anyone who appreciates the musical experience of timeless compositions performed by a visionary artist.

Levi performs on one of the newest and one of the oldest stringed instruments known to man: A Fender Stratocaster electric guitar, and the Gu Zheng (Chinese Harp or Zither,) an ancient instrument played in China for 3,000 years. Levi's ability to express himself on these two instruments is all the more remarkable in that he performs on them simultaneously, a technique he calls 'solo duets.'

Levi has been heard on over 350 radio stations, in over 30 countries. His latest recording "Alhambra," was the number #1 radio recording for October 2001, as reported on the New Age Voice "Airwaves" airplay charts/ His music has been featured on national and international TV shows, such as "Friends" and "Dangerous Minds."

"Lush soundscapes balanced by enthralling melodies....Personally I believe that Leo Fender smiled when he heard the true voice of his creation in Levi Chen's most capable hands."
BEAR, HOST/PRODUCER THE NEW AGE SAMPLER, ON WWSP 90FM

"The symmetry of East and West he achieves lets the two instruments meld their sound together...Levi Chen manages to express himself with a distinctive voice that sets him a notch above a very crouded field."
NEW AGE VOICE MAGAZINE

"Levi Chen has concocted an East/West and further west fusion...beautifully fragile melodies draped in ethereal atmospheres."
JOHN DILIBERTO, BILLBOARD MAGAZINE

"Candles, a bottle of wine and Levi Chen's, "Meditation of My Soul" makes for the most incredible, sensual experiences known to man or woman"
MARCELLA HERNANDEZ, YIN YANG RECORDS

    The man has a beautiful soul. His music is a testament.

  • Ethereal & Transcending
    author: Cathy

    This was my first encounter with the music of Levi Chen and it touched every part of my soul. It's like transporting the listener body and spirit to the most beautiful heavenly garden - a vacation for the mind and soul.

    Levi Chen's Liquid Gardens is diamonds music, sparkling a dream planet where all is pure and sensitivity and love reigns. Thank you for sharing your mind and soul with us.

  • Fantastic, cosmic jazzy chillout
    author: Mr.Jason

    I think this album is really great - I love the feeling! Especially the guitar sounds are fantastic. I get very visual sensations from the music. This has quite bit of Neil Young feeling. This would work well in Western movie that has lots of horses and prairie.. few cacti. Coyote weeps sadly from the distance and guitar follows! Good work fellas!

  • I love it
    author: Dawn R.

    I love this cd. It has songs that can take you to different places. I enjoy the uniqueness of his sound and look forward to finding more music by Levi.

  • The ideal mix
    author: R. Demarest

    This cd was the culmination of a long search for me. New Age without being pretentious. Exotic without being disjointed. Relaxing without being boring. I was not even sure how to describe the type of CD I was searching for, but Liquid Gardens filled the bill with a calming, emotion-invoking cd. Enjoy!

  • Levi's music is great for everybody who looks for balance in life.
    author: Richard Illek

    This music is so well balanced betweeen East and West, between electric and acoustic, between now and dreams that you can only fall in love with it. Levi Chen produces such a dreamy atmosphere with the guitar and the Gu Zheng that it is ideal for perfect relaxation in a hot tub,on long distance flights and for being gentle with the person of your choice. This CD and "Meditations of my soul" are a must for anybody who still has feelings left inside him for beautiful things in life, which should also include some good red wine.

  • its unique and heavenly
    author: rdot

    his music is supernatural, he is one of a kind and that gives me goosebumps everytime i remember seing him in concert.

  • author: CD Baby

    For those who follow the jazz or world scene, this is a lush, multi-dimensional album blending the listenability of new age, the sophistication of jazz and the distinct color of the East. Bringing together the sounds of electric guitar with the Gu Zheng, a harp-like instrument with a 3,000-year history in China, Levi creates expansive, smoky sonic atmospheres that bridge musical taste and history all at once. With every track, "Liquid Gardens" very much lives up to its name, making it ideal for relaxation or a quiet fireside dinner.
