  • DANA CUNNINGHAM: The Color of Light

    DANA CUNNINGHAM: The Color of Light

    Featuring Grammy Award-winning artists including cellist, Eugene Friesen, percussionist, Glen Velez, and Will Ackerman, on guitar, The Color of Light is no predictable new age piano album. While one can expect to be transported to spacious and serene worlds of lush and tender reverberating piano, mapping out limitless terrestrial sound worlds, Dana’s delicate and deliberate playing sparks a uniquely colorful conversation between her musical voice and those joining her. With jazz harmonies creeping in from time to time and an evocative and imaginative classical minimalism that might be compared to George Winston, there is a sense of great prosperity and emotional generosity far beyond what is typical for the genre. Each of these fifteen tracks seem to pour from a wellspring of universal knowledge and natural abundance. Much like how the earth comes back to life in the spring and into its fullest expression in summer, The Color of Light evokes a sense of quickening, of something on the verge of becoming, of long-awaited catharsis and fruition.

  • SAGGIO: Hollow Bone: Healing Songs of the Native Flute

    SAGGIO: Hollow Bone: Healing Songs of the Native Flute

    A former student of R. Carlos Nakai, a member of The International Native American Flute Association, and an honorary member of the Arizona Flute Circle, Saggio has been playing native American flutes for 13 years. It is clear through his playing that his spirit and mind are inseparable from the music- that the music moves through him as a vessel. Although there is no lack of gifted, inspired flute players today, Saggio posseses an inforgettable quality in his "voice." This deeply moving sense is particularly tangible in this release, largely because of his creative play with instrumental color and sound shaping. Accenting his playing with strings of an Indian tuned zither-harp, a baritone dulcimer, an udu, a meditation tongue drum, Jew's harps, a German Sansula and an extraordinary kalimba mounted on a drum head, the subtle explorations and metaphysical atmospheres are exquisite and powerful. This is easily one of the best flute releases we have heard in months.

  • VISIONSOUND - BEN DOWLING/MARK WAGNER: The Path of Peace (DualDisc: Audio CD/Multimedia DVD)

    VISIONSOUND - BEN DOWLING/MARK WAGNER: The Path of Peace (DualDisc: Audio CD/Multimedia DVD)

    Highlighting melodies that are so plaintive and mood-shaping, you would expect to hear them in a film score, The Path of Peace effortlessly moves through twelve mesmerizing tracks of new age piano. It is quite an accomplishment these days to stand out as a new age artist, particularly on piano, partially because of over-saturation of artists doing similar things, but largely because of the repetitive and indistinctive direction that New Age can tend to lean. Visionsound, however, finds that subtle space between music that is relaxing and suggestive but also with enough personality and substance to be engaging and affecting. Steering away from the cliche application of arpeggios and instead, creating a liquidy, gentle and natural sense of flow and movement, this disc evokes deep and rich imagery, awakening the imagination and stirring the inner eye. With the same emotive nd touching quality found in a piano soundtrack, The Path of Peace serves perfectly as a background for contemplative, reflective times.

  • VARIOUS ARTISTS: Sleep

    VARIOUS ARTISTS: Sleep

    Featuring music by some of the most well-known relaxation artists in the industry, including Grammy award winning composer, Kitaro, Susan Mazer & Dallas Smith, Stephen DeRuby, Dave Eggar, Uma, Yu-Xiao Guang, Toshiyuki Honda, Akasau and Lee Blaske, this compilation is specifically designed to induce sleep and create a tranquil atmosphere for full-body relaxation. With ten tracks of well-varied and yet cohesive sound journeys, Sleep does a beautiful job of taking the mind, body and emotions through delicate and nurturing worlds of imagery and sound, from tapestries of silky flute and strings, blending with guitar, erhu and koto, to new age piano and synthesizer soundscapes. Based on the latest in psychoacoustic research, each carefully chosen song is specifically designed to ease tension, direct the mind away from stress and comfort the heart and soul of the listener. If you’re looking for an album to accompany you in meditation or general relaxation as well, this disc comes highly recommended all around, combating the rush and pace of life today.

  • FRANK SMITH: Gardens Of Hope

    FRANK SMITH: Gardens Of Hope

    Rather than jump into the production, the skill and the technical virtues of this album, it is necessary to first reflect on how deeply this album moves and soothes its listeners. To understand the genuine spirit of this man and the generosity of his musical gift, it is important to first listen, let go and allow the music to shape you, the same way you would sit on a hilltop, looking out at a landscape and let the wind blow through your hair. His guitar inhales and exhales just like this kind of gentle, mountain wind, gathering in instrumental color with violin, English Horn, cello, piano, percussion, bass and flugel horn. Even before understanding this man more deeply through the nature of his songs and the stories which inspire them, the distilled simplicity and beauty comes through on a somatic level; his writing perfectly captures the magic of meeting a new person who instantly feels like an old friend. Like the opening track on this CD, “Inspired by a True Story,” Frank Smith’s album is founded on personal experience, from family reunions that resonated deeply in his soul for years to brief and fleeting moments with friends and family; sometimes these moments were just a phrase an old buddy used to sum up life’s intrinsic goodness (“It’s All Good”) and at other times, these moments are as simple as the memory of a smile (“Anything for a Smile”). It is this pure, unfiltered approach to songwriting that gives Gardens of Hope such an intimate and familiar feel, right from the beginning. With production by Will Ackerman, founder of Windham Hill Records, the warmth and humility of the music, as well as its intention, are perfectly conveyed. The title track speaks to the last five years of performing at Naples Community Hospital to soothe patients, staff and visiting loved ones; it is only natural that his music has been so successful in bringing hope and instilling peace among those who search. Regardless of the struggle, whether it be physical, emotional or spiritual, Smith’s musical voice softens the most resistant, roughened places of the human condition.
