notes
Ken Townshend:
As a healing artist, my passion is in creating, a feeling of wholeness within as many people as I can. My prayer is that through my music, people will be able to connect to their divine source which holds creativity and dreams. It is the feeling to the perfect state of being beauty within, that leads to an inner connection and sense of love, lightness, stillness, gentleness and peace. A link to the beauty of the moment and the gentle breath of being alive. A state of slowing down and simplicity.
When I create, I love being in the moment. This is the place of pure divine creativity, of letting my thoughts go and experiencing the infinite flow of gentleness, divine love and compassion. I let my body and feelings speak to me about each beautiful moment. These are the things that I hope to convey through all of my healing music and works.
I truly hope that this work will become a part of your inner being. I have given each piece a title, attempting to convey some sense or feeling it had for me when I felt it but I hope that you, as a listener, will give each one your own interpretation. After all, I want my music to become your music. I hope this soft, gentle music will give you a guide for your journey through life. I would like to become your soundtrack on that journey and help you find your path wherever it happens to be.
About Gentle Beauty
A quiet sacred space, and a feeling of pure peace and acceptance. An infinite mind, body and spirit. Authentic play and divine creativity is what Gentle Beauty is about.
It celebrates music through the feeling of an innocent child. It has Lucid feelings that are deep, and gentle but not emotional. Let gentle compassion embrace and hug you, just be and feel. Tell me your meaning. I have no meaning except to allow that infinite sacred space to manifest through the creative expression of music.
I love connecting to people, you can always reach me here:

Peace and Joy
author: Corey KruseWhat lovely music. Gentle Beauty creates it's own space and time. Corey Kruse Boulder, CO USA
Gentle Beauty
author: JanetThe music on the "Gentle Beauty" CD is among the most relaxing and peaceful I've ever heard. The music is like relaxing water that just washes over my entire being. Five stars isn't a high enough rating for this wonderful addition!
Float Away!
author: Kathy Parsons“Gentle Beauty” is the second release of healing music by keyboardist Ken Townshend. Aptly titled, this music is in the moment and has no hard edges anywhere. More ambient than melodic, the music creates a peaceful mood that invites a slower, calmer pace both physically and mentally. Several tracks feature the piano with keyboard accompaniment, and some have an Asian influence. Quoting Ken Townshend: “A quiet sacred space, and a feeling of pure peace and acceptance. An infinite mind, body and spirit. Authentic play and divine creativity is what ‘Gentle Beauty’ is about.” Continuing: “It celebrates music through the feeling of an innocent child. It has Lucid feelings that are deep, and gentle but not emotional. Let gentle compassion embrace and hug you, just be and feel. Tell me your meaning. I have no meaning except to allow that infinite sacred space to manifest through the creative expression of music.” This would be a perfect CD for meditation, massage, unwinding, to go to sleep to, or for creating a very peaceful ambiance. Listening to it actively takes you away from the stresses of everyday life and slows down that sense of urgency to run, run, run. It is a very effective aural tranquilizer! “Graceful Soft Child” opens the CD with warmth, joy, and innocence that floats on a cloud or a lazy river. “Feeling Open Flow” is a favorite. Mostly piano, arpeggios explore the piano, soothing and calming as they roam. “Feeling Deep Within Beauty” is also mostly piano with some keyboard washes. At over ten minutes, this piece evolves leisurely and organically, leaving lots of open spaces between the notes. It is very easy to lose yourself in this music - so free and completely at ease. “Peaceful Healing” reminds me a bit of George Skaroulis - very open and gentle. “Sunset” is a shimmering guitar piece with stringed accompaniment and floating, ethereal sounds that paint a musical picture of the magic and serenity of a sunset. “Symphonic Universe” is another favorite with its feeling of vast openness and space. Angelic strings, keyboard, light percussion, guitar, and piano make up this “symphony” and float you away on a tranquil dream. “Gentle Beauty” is a quiet and fascinating inner journey and a welcome respite from the noise and negativity that zap so much of our energy. Recommended.
A beautiful creation
author: Gabrielle AngeliqueI thoroughly enjoy this relaxing and beautiful creation by Ken Townsend. My favorite songs are "Gentle Beauty" for its innocence, "Sunset" for the reflective mood it creates, "Symphonic Universe" for the different dimensions and layers Ken added to each part taking you to a deeper state of relaxation (I especially enjoyed the soft percussive drum beats), and lastly my absolute favorite was "Gentle Angels" because it had such a pure bittersweet melody to it as if it should be the sort of thing you would hear in heaven. So much depth and beauty! I love to listen to this album during my morning prayers and I highly recommend this CD to anyone wanting a gentle CD filled with peace.
