S. Lewis's famous science fiction novel. This three-part composition for synthesizers and choral voices evokes the sensual, floating atmosphere of a lush, Venusian paradise.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Kevin Braheny has been active musically since the age of 4, when he began playing piano. Early compositions followed at age 7, and at 11 he took up woodwinds, which became the core sounds of his mature works. He had early ensemble experiences in classical music, jazz, big band, funk, and rock.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In 1971, Kevin discovered the new frontier of electronic music and moved to Los Angeles, where we worked with pioneer Moog synthesist Malcolm Cecil and modular synthesizer inventor Serge Tcherepnin. He built new prototypes for the latter's advanced analog synthesizers and in 1978 assembled \"The Mighty Serge,\" an advanced modular analog system.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"I modified or built my own equipment to insure maximum sonic control and expressiveness,\" says Kevin. \"I try to get inside sounds and work from the inside out. My compositions flow from a sensual experience of sound, but they're designed by my knowledge of form -- and my love, passion, actually, for beauty.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The particularly expressive instrument Kevin plays is the Steiner EWI (electronic wind instrument), which is controlled by the performer's breath and touch. It's an extremely sensitive instrument, immediately responsive to the slightest change in breath or pressure or position of the lips, fingers, or hands. An amateur picking it up is in for a number of surprises! While Kevin characteristically uses it to produce woodwind-like sounds, it also functions as an all-purpose controller, interfacing Kevin and his audience, with a limitless universe of sounds.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Like his instrument, Kevin himself is versatile of mood yet single-minded of intent to express emotion.

Bill has played keyboards and bassoon on all of Stoltzman's RCA hits - \u003ci\u003eBegin Sweet World\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eNew York Counterpoint\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eInnervoices\u003c\/i\u003e - and written over 50% of the original music on the albums.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e I've always felt that the ability to write melodies is one of the real benchmarks in music, regardless of style. As you'll hear throughout this album, Bill Douglas is naturally endowed with the gift of creating absolutely gorgeous, unforgettable melodies.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Not quite as obvious is his background in pop - his first band did Elvis covers in Canada in the '50s - his years as a classical bassoonist in the Toronto Symphony, his work as a jazz improviser, his stint as an avant-garde composer at Cal Arts, or his \"Rock Etudes\" -- creative rhythm studies used by music educators around the world, not to mention his hilarious, over-the-edge concertizing with the BOULDER BASSOON BAND. What we have here is a truly eclectic musician.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e For his Hearts of Space debut, we concentrated on Bill's melodic, space-creating ballads, but that didn't prevent him from including \"Highland\" and \"Killarny,\" a couple of wonderfully joyous Irish folk dances (he says its his Scotch-Irish ancestry coming through), a darkly exotic Spanish\/Moorish piece (\"Karuna\"), and an exquisitely beautiful song featuring soprano JANE GRIMES, based on an ancient Gaelic blessing (\"Deep Peace\").\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Overall, \u003ci\u003eJewel Lake\u003c\/i\u003e is probably best described as a mainstream new age electro-acoustic album, both in terms of emotional content and variety of source material.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Instrumentation is Bill on electronic keyboards, piano, and bassoon, plus fine performances on oboe, flute, voice, and ethnic percussion by several Boulder area musicians. It was a total pleasure to produce, and I'm confident that listeners are going to love it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e:: Stephen

The individual tracks are vignettes that deal with events in outer space. Stearns' light touch is perfect for his minimalist symphonic style.

Braheny - Secret Rooms","description":"\u003cp\u003eSecret Rooms - the 1991 release from Kevin Braheny.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKevin Braheny's reputation as \"one of the finest musicians on the new age music scene today\" (Pulse!) rests on the subtle intricacy of his compositions and the sophistication, sensuality, and sensitivity of his sonic palette. Secret Rooms showcases significant growth in both these areas - as well as completely new developments. KEVIN BRAHENY's first two solo albums, Lullaby For The Hearts Of Space (1980) and The Way Home (originally entitled Perelandra [1984]), established his mastery of the serene, extended meditation. On the other hand, reviewers praised his 1988 planetarium soundtrack album Galaxies for the exquisite beauty of its very concise pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhile working on Galaxies and Secret Rooms, Braheny also participated in two successful collaborations: Western Spaces (1987), with Steve Roach\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and Richard Burmer, and Desert Solitaire (1989) with Roach and Michael Stearns\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. CD Review called the trio \"three acknowledged synthesizer masters.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat separates the masters from the masses? Real synth heroes roll their own. Kevin actually builds much of his own equipment and creates all his own samples, often using his \"Mighty Serge\" modular analog synthesizer. For Secret Rooms, Braheny also built the custom 3-D binaural recording technology for the \"Passages\" that link the musical pieces. (Try listening to them through headphones to get the fullest effect.)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSecret Rooms unveils Braheny's expanded range as a composer. The brilliant \"Shadowcatcher\" and \"'Til You Get There\" represent his first significant rhythmic explorations to date, with ethno-percussion specialist Leonice Shinneman. Other pieces extend and deepen his trademark warmth, depth, and unerring melodic appeal.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe theme of secret \"internal rooms\" - hidden emotions, psychic states, spaces in consciousness, each with an individual ambience and identity - conjures up a journey that, in Kevin's words \"is about experiencing the different spaces, and then using each experience to move on to the next.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSecret Rooms confirms Braheny's own ability to keep moving on - exploring, expressing, and evolving his singular talent in ever more significant and satisfying ways.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration:

which evoke a reverie... personal, collective, and universal,\" a music \"half forgotten, buried within the strata of the primordial mind.\" Whether the final product achieves its virtually shamanistic goals will have to be decided by each listener, but it's clear that Strata pushes resolutely deeper into the new territories opened up for contemporary psychonauts by electronic sound production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom its early polyrhythmic movement pieces, through the darkly compelling interior landscapes at its center, to the healing sonorities that enshroud the concluding \"La Luna,\" Strata conveys the listener to soundworlds below the surface of ordinary music.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExperienced listeners will hear evidence of influences from artists like Brian Eno and Jon Hassell, North African and other world music traditions, but the mixture and ultimately the meaning of the musical sound experiences which Strata unlocks is unique.

Bill Douglas' first Hearts of Space release (\u003cem\u003eJewel Lake,\u003c\/em\u003e 1988) exposed such a rich vein of melody, song, and rhythm that one album scarcely touched the highpoints.

The original, almost archaic: to mislead by guile or deceit; more commonly, to charm or delight; to lure; to pass time pleasantly. TIM STORY's gently epic soundscapes and brief, intimate, deeply felt modern chamber pieces yield up this kind of richly equivocal meaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStory's musical evolution has always plied a steady course. Beguiled, his 6th album in a resolutely consistent recording career spanning over ten years, is the finest realization yet of the musical concerns that have motivated him from the beginning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePonder his titles for a moment and it becomes clear. Story is heir to the tradition of ironic miniaturists most famously embodied by French composer Erik Satie. (Harold Budd is a modern example.) Consciously antidramatic, these artists shunned the grandiose formalities and weighty thematics of the German symphonic establishment in favor of complex, highly structured melodic music for solo instruments and small ensembles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn their use of modest forces they aligned themselves with the chamber music tradition, but here also they departed from the norm; instead of somber introspection they explored the emotional poetics of ambiguity, irreverence, and irony, with fresh, unusual harmonies and subtle, disarming melodies. In this music, what appears simple on first hearing mysteriously expands, enfolds, and ultimately beguiles with time and repetition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike his precursors, Story works primarily with vernacular instruments of the day - piano, guitar, and the endlessly malleable timbres of electronic keyboards. Like a good modernist, he sets his delicate dramas in an expanded reverberant soundscape. But his mysterious presence, unqualified emotionality, and taste for the 'sublime' mark him as a romantic for the digital era.\u003cbr style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eCredits\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCOMPOSED AND PRODUCED BY TIM STORY\u003cbr\u003eSYNTHESIZERS, SAMPLING INSTRUMENTS, ELECTRIC\u003cbr\u003eGUITAR, ALL SOUNDS AND TREATMENTS TIM STORY\u003cbr\u003eCELLO MARTHA REIKOW\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e2-HOS-11027\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e","brand":"Hearts of Space Records","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":10401644227,"sku":"2-HOS-11027","price":16.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"MP3 Album","offer_id":10401644355,"sku":"2-HOS-11027D","price":8.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"WAV Album","offer_id":10401644419,"sku":"2-HOS-11027L","price":11.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Beguiled (MP3)","offer_id":24950608454,"sku":"USAKS0600011","price":0.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Helen of the West (MP3)","offer_id":24950639494,"sku":"USAKS0600012","price":0.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Improbable Landscape (MP3)","offer_id":24950646982,"sku":"USAKS0600013","price":0.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"These Few Words (MP3)","offer_id":24950743110,"sku":"USAKS0600014","price":0.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pale Litany (MP3)","offer_id":24950976966,"sku":"USAKS0600015","price":0.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"And Evening Falls (MP3)","offer_id":24950984326,"sku":"USAKS0600016","price":0.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"In the Days of Small Sorrows (MP3)","offer_id":24951000454,"sku":"USAKS0600017","price":0.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Her Cathedral (MP3)","offer_id":24951025606,"sku":"USAKS0600018","price":0.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Delires (MP3)","offer_id":24951229638,"sku":"USAKS0600019","price":0.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Eyelids of the Sea (MP3)","offer_id":24951395782,"sku":"USAKS0600020","price":0.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Many Years Pass (MP3)","offer_id":24951397766,"sku":"USAKS0600021","price":0.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"The Luminous, The Dark (MP3)","offer_id":24951409222,"sku":"USAKS0600022","price":0.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Beguiled (WAV)","offer_id":24951624518,"sku":"USAKS0600011L","price":0.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Helen of the West (WAV)","offer_id":24951639942,"sku":"USAKS0600012L","price":1.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Improbable Landscape (WAV)","offer_id":24951719430,"sku":"USAKS0600013L","price":1.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"These Few Words (WAV)","offer_id":24951732998,"sku":"USAKS0600014L","price":1.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pale Litany (WAV)","offer_id":24951947974,"sku":"USAKS0600015L","price":1.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"And Evening Falls (WAV)","offer_id":24951955078,"sku":"USAKS0600016L","price":1.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"In the Days of Small Sorrows (WAV)","offer_id":24951970694,"sku":"USAKS0600017L","price":1.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Her Cathedral (WAV)","offer_id":24952007046,"sku":"USAKS0600018L","price":1.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Delires (WAV)","offer_id":24952013702,"sku":"USAKS0600019L","price":1.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Eyelids of the Sea (WAV)","offer_id":24952027398,"sku":"USAKS0600020L","price":1.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Many Years Pass (WAV)","offer_id":24952036678,"sku":"USAKS0600021L","price":1.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"The Luminous, The Dark (WAV)","offer_id":24952045766,"sku":"USAKS0600022L","price":1.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0947\/6410\/products\/Beguiled.png?v=1449853178"},{"product_id":"robert-rich-gaudi","title":"Robert Rich - Gaudi","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRobert Rich's album that was inspired by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"descript\"\u003ethe life and work of Spanish architect Antonio Gaudi.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor Robert Rich, the life and work of Spanish architect Antonio Gaudi served as a touchstone and inspiration in the lengthy process of creating this music.  His work embodied an awareness of both physical and metaphysical perceptions.

Count Me In is it. Work began in the summer of '92 on JOHN BOSWELL's Count Me In, with concept and repertoire discussions with versatile producer BRIAN KEANE, the man behind the board for Festival of the Heart, the Christmas project. The plan was to work toward a radiophonic NAC\/contemporary instrumental sound, while never losing touch with the warm, uncomplicated, appealing piano style that's endeared Boswell to his ever-expanding audience. The result ranges between lyrical folk harmonies and jazz, with Boswell's basic commitment to unselfconscious emotional communication.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProducer Keane attracted an impressive group of instrumentalists to the project, beginning with his own considerable contributions on guitars, synths, and percussion programming. Underrated saxophonist DAVE MANN achieves effortless perfection on alto and soprano throughout, and MARION MEADOWS blows sweet soprano sax on one tune. DAVE ANDERSON slides 'n glides his distinctive fretless bass sound on three tunes, and VICTOR BAILEY plays electric bass on one. Hot young ethnic percussionist ARTO TUNCBOYACIYAN, along with JIM MOLA and JARY MALL complete the always colorful, imaginative rhythm section. Other soloists include the wonderful Joanie Madden on Celtic whistles, PETER WORTMAN on English horn, and everybody's favorite cellist, DAVID DARLING.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eCount Me

This is the sound of stones ringing across the desert, the music of ancient mysteries being rediscovered. Celebrated electronic composer Michael Stearns has long been fascinated with Native American myths involving singing stones. On previous recordings, he designed synthesized sounds to bring the essence of these legends to life. In the early 1990s, however, Stearns came across an archeological paper that proved the existence of such phenomena. A number of ringing rocks had been discovered throughout the Southwest, usually at prolific petroglyph sites. It had just taken a while for scientists to think of hitting the decorated stones to see if they made musical sounds. When these granite boulders or rock ledges were finally struck with a smaller stone, they rang out with the clarity of a beautifully crafted chime. It wasn't hard to visualize prehistoric Native Americans creating a virtual symphony of tones as they pounded ceremonial images into the rocks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOnce he learned of their existence, Stearns couldn't wait to visit these magical places and hear the music for himself. Most locations, however, are kept secret in order to protect them from careless destruction. Though only one modern tribe has been found to play the stones as a part of their traditional rites, these sites are still considered sacred by the various Native American nations on whose land the sonic formations reside.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDespite these difficulties, Stearns dreamed of making an album involving the legendary stones, and he found an important ally in RON SUNSINGER\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, an adopted grandson of the Cheyenne, Lakota and Hopi tribes. The Albuquerque-based musician and ceremonial artist was not only able to get permission from tribal elders to record at several singing stone sites, he lent his own musical talents to the project and brought in some respected Native American singers as well. The results of their travels and collaborations are presented on Singing Stones, a haunting collection of 11 original compositions combining traditional Native American chants and flutes with natural ambiences, percussion, subtle synthesized atmospheres, sampled instruments, and, most importantly, the sounds of the stones themselves.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSinging Stones captures the beauty and the mystery of ringing rocks played with a variety of techniques. Sometimes Stearns and Sunsinger struck the stones with an elk antler or a small rock, other times they were slapped with the hand or even rubbed to create more subtle tones. There were, after all, no traditional procedures to guide the musicians. The tribes that originally gathered around to play the stones have long since disappeared. No one knows what strange and wonderful ceremonies took place at these sites or what kind of music the stones gave birth to in prehistoric times. Stearns and Sunsinger had to use their own seasoned musical imaginations to bring the ringing rocks back to life. Often, the sounds of the stones themselves seemed to direct the course of the composition, as if the earth itself were using modern hands to awaken songs that had been locked in solid granite since the beginning of time.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eCredits\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 THE RINGING DESERT

Reyes, and Suso Saiz.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEarth Island conjures up swirling apparitions from the past and the future. For STEVE ROACH, JORGE REYES and SUSO SAIZ,, there were no boundaries, only waves of sound splashing against the big island we call Earth, with mammoth beats, Mayan trumpets and alien tone colors. When STEVE ROACH, JORGE REYES and SUSO SAIZ, recorded their first album under the group name Suspended Memories last year, each individual was a respected recording artist in his own right. Yet the overwhelming response to Forgotten Gods suggests that the force of this international ensemble may be even greater than the sum of its parts. This 1993 HOS release received superior ratings in Downbeat, Pulse! and CD Review, made several critics' annual Top 10 lists, and was recently nominated for a NAIRD award. That's just in the U.S. The group's growing international following led to a whirlwind tour of Spain and a well-received appearance at Germany's Klang Art new music festival.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA number of artists worldwide have already hailed Suspended Memories as an important inspiration. One appreciative musician called the team of Roach, Reyes and Saiz \"the ambient supergroup.\" Critic and radio producer John Diliberto, however, summed it up best in his CD Review critique: \"This album reveals new crevices of sound, new interplays of culture, new voices from the past,\" later adding: \"You don't experience Forgotten Gods, you are transformed with it.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe musicians themselves haven't had the time to rest on their laurels. They were also transformed by the experience and couldn't wait to jump off the creative edge together again. With Forgotten Gods barely in stores last spring, the trio juggled European concert dates with recording sessions for a new Suspended Memories release. The schedule was grueling - intensive, highly improvisatory performances alternating with all-night brainstorms in studios from Madrid to Northern Germany.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt was a far cry from the seclusion of Roach's Arizona-based studio where Forgotten Gods was recorded. There, the primal magic and serenity of the Sonoran desert nourished the group's initial, neo-ritualistic excursion. But in Europe, the gods were buried under thousands of years of architecture, etiquette, industry and complacency. Still, the trio managed to map out places in between and outside Old World decorum, finally blasting through the confines of time and space as they united cultures, instruments and musical styles with sounds that seemed to be seeping in from some parallel universe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith its mammoth beats, ceremonial rhythms, wailing Mayan trumpets, growling didgeridoos, Mexican field recording fragments, alien tone colors and surrealistic electric guitar melodies, Earth Island conjures up swirling apparitions from the past and the future. For Roach, Reyes and Saiz, there were no boundaries, only waves of sound splashing against the big island we call earth, washing relics from some distant clan onto new shores, eroding the conventions of the present and carrying the remains out to sea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e2-HOS-11043\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eCredits\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eAll music composed by Steve Roach,\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJorge Reyes and Suso Saiz.

Modern chamber music to die for, from Hearts of Space. There is such a thing as a perfect flaw. It's a single cloud that roams across the sky on a summer day, a moment of pain that deepens and strengthens a relationship, a mistake that leads an artist or a scientist to explore a whole new area of possibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTim Story understands this phenomenon. In fact, he has developed a technique for making it happen at will to fuel his aesthetic strategy as a composer and instrumentalist. On his cunningly titled latest release, odd and angular melodies run rampant with a grace that turns the unexpected into the most sublime of moments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 11 short pieces on his latest venture come with evocative titles like \"Liquid Shadow Night,\" \"The Color of Vowels,\" and \"Until She Fades Away.\" At less than five minutes each, they appear deceptively simple. The nuances reflected in each selection bring to mind the pleasure of staring at a finely cut diamond in a plain gold setting. Just as such a gem catches available light in infinitely intriguing ways, Story's music speaks with an open-ended lyricism that changes and evolves over repeated listenings. His elegant, understated instrumentals satisfy people who crave melody but would like to see it taken beyond the predictability and sentimentality that rule most forms of contemporary music.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou can compare his style to ironic miniaturists like early 20th-century French composer Erik Satie. You can mention Story's accomplished union of acoustic grand piano, oboe, clarinet, English horn and cello with subtle, finely-crafted electronic sounds. You can quote journalists who have characterized his approach as \"graceful, visceral chamber music for 21st century romantics\" (Pulse! 1992). The one thing you can't begin to do is describe the individual pieces themselves, for Story takes listeners to places that words can't follow.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHis is the language of the soul whispering behind the brain, the intricacies of feeling that stir though the body and yet ultimately leave us speechless. Poets can paint a vague outline of this landscape with their metaphors and suggestions, but only certain kinds of music can take you on a full fledged tour of living emotions: those constantly churning, ambiguous sensations that make you cry at the bittersweet ending of a tragic film yet want to go back and see it again and again. It's this passion for the ironies of life that drives Story's music. The composer himself has described his approach as \"a desperate serenity,\" and he achieves the effect through subtly dissonant melodies that are refined to the point where they flow effortlessly with an integrity and beauty all their own.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOf course with Tim Story, it's not light catching the eye that creates the magic. It's the feelings, memories and dreams each individual brings to the music that creates a synthesis of sound and emotion that can never be heard the same way twice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e2-HOS-11045\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eCredits\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eRecorded and mixed by Tim Story at Zeta Recording, Toledo, Ohio.

In these dark waters, dreams and archetypes rise up to nourish those who yearn for inspiration in the search for creative renewal. After thirty years of composing, performing, and inspiring other people with his lush, transcendental romantic style, the Maui-based musician Raphael faced an artistic crisis. His previous releases, \u003cem\u003eMusic to Disappear In\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eMusic to Disappear In II\u003c\/em\u003e had become bestselling classics in the new age\/contemporary genre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"My harmonies were getting stuck,\" he recalls. With only twelve notes in an octave, I was beginning to wonder if I hadn't already worn them out.\" The breakthrough came in a dream: swimming with a magnificent whale, he told the creature his fears of losing his muse. \"That's ridiculous,\" said the whale. \"The possibilites of music are endless. You can never reach the end. It's like trying to calculate the last decimal of pi. It just goes on forever.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOn \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eAngels of the Deep\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, real whales provide the impetus for Raphael's musical re-birth. The first two selections, \"Angels of the Deep\" and \"Communion,\" constitute a two-part concerto for whales and synthesizers, and take a quantum leap in the use of natural ambient sounds in a musical context. Not content to merely add a few whale sounds as atmospheric background, Raphael actually derived his unusual twists of phrase from their amazingly soulful cries. Bending his synthesized sounds, the composer glides with the sinuous tones of his aquatic colleagues as his own luxurious melodies rise and fall in waves of emotion. The level of ecstasy escalates as Raphael's themes swirl through a vast sea of liquid harmonies and swim circles aorund the songs of the whales. Soon the illusion of swimming becomes synonymous with flying as the music soars with an intensity of feeling unmatched by his previous recordings.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThese opening pieces climax and recede, yet echo throughout the rest of the album. \"Prayer\" floats gently toward the Pacific Rim with the childlike sweetness of an Indonesian lullaby, then transforms into a passionate ballad for piano. Feeling of reverence and thankfulness culminate in rhapsodic flourishes that blur the boundaries between romantic devotion and love of the divine. Other selections celebrate sensuous flute melodies, earthy dance grooves, and exotic modal melodies suspended in mystical drones that flow once again toward the unknown reaches of human experience. At the end, Raphael performs a meditative version of Erik Satie's oriental-inspired \"Gnossienne No. 3\" that adds new insight to the early 20th-century composer's gift for conveying the quiet intensity of life's undercurrents.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUltimately, Raphael's vision of creative renewal is potent enough to reach beyond personal experience and move listeners who also crave more meaning -- and magic -- in life. This composer's angels may have fins instead of wings, but their songs, too, are otherworldly and their power to inspire as formidable as any muse or guardian spirit.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e2-HOS-11047\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eCredits\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eMusicians:\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRaphael - synthesizers\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBruce Bec Var - shakti harp and guitar\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCharlene Idé - flute\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKim Atkinson - congas on \"Initiation\"\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIan Dogole - udu on \"Initiation\"\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eProduced by Warren Dennis Kahn and Raphael\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMixed by Warren Dennis Kahn at The Banquet Sound Studios, Santa Rosa, California.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMastered by Bob Olhsson and Stephen Hill at Hearts of Space Studio, San Francisco,\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ewith WAVES SP software and THIEL monitors.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhale Sounds courtesy of Dr. Payne and the Wildlife Conservation Sociely\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"This music was deeply inspired by my beloved Kutira Décosterd.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eShe has opened me to dimensions of music I've never dreamt of.\" --Raphael\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAll music composed by Raphael\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eexcept \"Remembrance,\" composed by Raphael and Sherri Michaels,\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eand \"Prayer\" composed by Raphael and Pinchi Pete Velasquez.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e© 1995 Raphael Sharpe Productions\/BMI, administered by Liminal Music\/BMI. \"Gnossienne No.3\" by Erik Satie. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hearts of Space Records","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":10592445507,"sku":"2-HOS-11047","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"MP3 Album","offer_id":10592445635,"sku":"2-HOS-11047D","price":8.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"WAV Album","offer_id":10592445763,"sku":"2-HOS-11047L","price":11.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Angels of the Deep (MP3)","offer_id":26115771782,"sku":"USAKS0600143","price":1.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Communion (MP3)","offer_id":26115790278,"sku":"USAKS0600144","price":1.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Prayer (MP3)","offer_id":26115818758,"sku":"USAKS0600145","price":1.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Initiation (MP3)","offer_id":26115847686,"sku":"USAKS0600146","price":1.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Remembrance (MP3)","offer_id":26115912774,"sku":"USAKS0600147","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Purification (MP3)","offer_id":26115923078,"sku":"USAKS0600148","price":1.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gnossienne No. 3 (Satie) (MP3)","offer_id":26115939078,"sku":"USAKS0600149","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Angels of the Deep (WAV)","offer_id":26115955590,"sku":"USAKS0600143L","price":1.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Communion (WAV)","offer_id":26115968838,"sku":"USAKS0600144L","price":1.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Prayer (WAV)","offer_id":26115976070,"sku":"USAKS0600145L","price":1.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Initiation (WAV)","offer_id":26115981254,"sku":"USAKS0600146L","price":1.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Remembrance (WAV)","offer_id":26116000070,"sku":"USAKS0600147L","price":1.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Purification (WAV)","offer_id":26116086278,"sku":"USAKS0600148L","price":1.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gnossienne No. 3 (Satie) (WAV)","offer_id":26116109766,"sku":"USAKS0600149L","price":1.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0947\/6410\/products\/Angels-of-the-Deep.png?v=1449853771"},{"product_id":"bill-douglas-circle-of-moons","title":"Bill Douglas - Circle of Moons","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOn \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eCircle of Moons\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, composer Bill Douglas reaches a new level of refinement in thirteen enchanting, gently romantic tunes.

The collaboration began with Rich recording Moskow during six hours of sarod improvisations in alap style. Exploiting the vast potential of digital multitrack recording, Rich was then able to integrate his own huge, shifting clouds of sound made by flutes (many hand-crafted to fit the tonality of each movement), synths, guitar, santur, and percussion, \"allowing the music to move me in what ever direction it should.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Most Indian music is recorded in a strictly ethnomusicological manner,\" Rich notes, \"isolating a particular performance in a specific place and time.

At the school we would write one arrangement a week with varying orchestrations (sometimes a few instruments, sometimes a 40 piece orchestra) and stay up the night before the due date copying our charts for the musicians to play the next day. We were roommates for about a year and spent a lot of our time listening to music into the wee hours.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo, I had the team I wanted to work with ... We recorded over a two day period at Ray Parker Jr.'s studio, Ameraycan, the same studio where he recorded \"Ghostbusters.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Night at the Beach\" was a total improvisation for all three of us. I asked Koz to pick a key and asked M.B. to pick a tempo. We just did it and ended up with a structured piece. We all looked at each other as the final chord was struck and smiled.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Plane Ride\" was written halfway at JFK airport while I was waiting to board the plane that took me to L.A. and the other half was written somewhere over Ohio. That was the first time I've ever written without an instrument.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"James and the Giant Peach II\" is the sequel to \"James and the Giant Peach\" on The Painter. It's based on the children's book by Roald Dahl (one of my favorites). The main theme from the first \"James\" can be heard at the beginning and end of \"James II.\" \"Rikki's Dream\" was written for my niece. She was just a baby when I wrote it. Now she's a very cute and smart six-year-old. \"Strength in Silence,\" \"Solidarity\" and \"Cornwall Bridge\" are all improvisations.

Nine thousand feet above sea level, in the wild southeastern corner of Venezuela, an ancient sandstone mesa rises eerily out of dense, swirling mists and fog. One of many strange and haunting tepuis that tower above almost impenetrable thickets of tropical rain forest, Mount Roraima stood in grand isolation for more than a million years before the first European explorers dared ascend to its forbidding summit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour years after a 1990 National Geographic article reminded him about Mount Roraima and The Lost World, MICHAEL STEARNS realized a dream that began in childhood - to trek to Venezuela's \"Islands in Time\" and experience a natural domain that remains astonishingly remote from the ravages and complexities of modern civilization.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt was 1595 when Sir Walter Raleigh recorded his sightings of a \"crystal mountain\" during his exploration of Guyana. But it was not until 1884 that the first European expedition reached the top of the greatest of all the region's crystal mountains, Mt. Roraima. The British botanist on that trip returned to England and lectured extensively on his discoveries. One audience member, Sir Arthur Conen Doyle, extrapolated those tales into his 1912 novel, The Lost World - a book which captivated the childhood imagination of Michael Stearns.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA world traveler who has brilliantly translated his explorations into such sonic masterpieces as \u003cem\u003eSacred Site \u003c\/em\u003e(2-HOS-11038) and \u003cem\u003eSinging Stones\u003c\/em\u003e (2-HOS-11042), Stearns now transports us as listeners to a Lost World of rare beauty and unfathomable power.

Integrating environmental sounds into a spacious swirl of electronics punctuated by crystalline percussion, he captures both the enormity and the delicate minutiae of the otherworldly setting, where unique species of orchids, frogs, and butterflies find refuge in rock formations shaped by nearly two billion years of ceaseless erosion. Pressing on, we hear the echoes of thunder, the hum of insects, the calls of birds, and soar toward the heavens as the magnificent operatic voice of KERI RUSHTOI rides the crest of Stearns's vast instrumental wash.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith each track of \u003cem\u003eThe Lost World\u003c\/em\u003e, we turn another corner, marvel at an extraordinary indigenous species of orchid or butterfly, conquer a lofty peak, and experience the anticipation, trepidation, and exhilaration of an odyssey into the unknown. \"The Gran Saban\" is not all ethereal atmospherics; it teems with tropical life and human ritual, and Stearns apprehends the sounds of the earth, the animals, and the tribes who dwell there. With 'singing' stones, wooden flutes, whistles, percussion, on-site ambient recordings, wind harps, and Keri Rushtoi's magnificent vocals, Stearns evokes the natural majesty of the place. He captures the enigmatic tone of the myths and stories he heard from the native Pemon and Warao people. In doing so, he gives us an entirely fresh perspective on our own relationship to worlds lost and found. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e2-HOS-11054\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eCredits\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eLyrics and vocals: Keri Rusthoi and Michael Stearns\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePercussion: Miguel Rivera plays Singing Stone on Imu\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eParu and the Chivaton door on Matawi.

For over a thousand years, Native Americans of the Southwest have gathered in Kivas, subterranean ceremonial structures marked by a single ladder protruding from the ground.

With the blessings of the medicine men, he spent months capturing the authentic ambiences of a traditional peyote ceremony, a South American ayahuasca ritual, and an observance of the central plains Sundance. These source recordings became the basis for the East, South, and West Kivas. The North Kiva evolved out of a series of intense group improvisations in a man-made cave.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhether it occurs in a cave or the womb-like chamber of an electronic musician's studio, the essence of the Kiva can be realized in many forms.

Contemplation of such melancholy emotions is the focus of French composer PAUL SAUVANET's eloquently tender music for digital chamber orchestra. Contemplation of Tristesse - the quiet heartache of remembrance emotions is the focus of French composer PAUL SAUVANET's eloquently tender music for digital chamber orchestra. Recorded after the death of his mother, Sauvanet has transformed his personal experience into a meditation on mortality, mourning for lost relationships, and the bittersweet pain of letting go. Sauvanet's idealized chamber orchestra, a creation of the electronic studio -- is soft, redemptive, subtle, always moving. In much the same way Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings underscored our collective passage through national tragedies since the 40's, Sauvanet's Tristesse: Five Adagios for Times of Sorrow may become a sound to soften the rocky transitions of the 90's.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTurning away from his early avant-garde work in electronic music, improvised jazz and rock, Sauvanet here returns to tonality and a more traditional sense of soothing pulse, using a chamber string orchestra as an unobtrusive cushion of tenderness on which to set his lyric ideas. He plays the melodic lines himself as synthesized suggestions of traditional orchestral instruments: harp, flute, oboe, and the arch Romantic timbre of a distant French horn. The effect, while original, is not unlike the mood injections in Henryk Gorecki's famous Third Symphony for soprano and orchestra - basically a soft, quiet string undulation held under flowing vocal lines. Just as the Gorecki work is subtitled Symphony of Sorrowful Songs, Sauvanet's Tristesse is subtitled Five Adagios for Times of Sorrow. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe individual titles of the Adagio cycle sketch their moods. The nearly Mozartian opening of \"Adieu\" gives way to Mahlerian pastoral hints, with the sounds of harp, horn and oboe singing out. \"Prayer for the Suffering,\" which follows, leans more toward a Baroque religious aria, with something of the aroma of Purcell about it.

The album reveals the ambiguity lurking at the fringes of perception. A provocative new contribution to the growing 'dark ambient' catalogue. Fathom artist Robert Rich joins underground sound design legend B.LUSTMORD (aka Brian Williams) for an extended journey inspired by the title and the hypnotic minimalism of ANDREI TARKOVSKY'S mesmerizing future\/fiction film Stalker. The album slowly reveals a psychoactive soundscape of shape-shifting shadows, dense subharmonic massings, subtle drone textures and ambiguous sound events lurking at the fringes of perception. Online music reviewer David Spalding says \"Unlike the majority of Rich's previous work, this is a consistently dark, troubling vision ... an eerie, unnatural fantasia that borders on the sinister. The various movements flow one into another like a forward march to the center of the unknown, take the listener past scenes of edginess and loss, a haunted landscape punctuated by echoes. Stalker is a poetic trip into another dimension, both macabre and transcendent. I suspect that this will be one of the top ambient albums of 1995.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe seemingly unlikely pairing of Robert Rich, he of slow, gradually evolving electronic music, and B.Lustmord, creator of doomy, ambient industrial experiments, has yielded a sublime musical entity known as Stalker. Having found a middle ground, it integrates Rich's intelligent ambient style and Lustmord's more threatening, even horrific industrial sound. Though their fundamental aesthetics might seem at odds, the joining of forces has yielded a synergistic whole which transcends their individual genius.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStalker derives its title from the classic philosophical film of the same name by Andrei Tarkovsky. Yet this visionary music is not intended to be a surrogate soundtrack. The music, in fact, makes few specific references to the film. The two creations do, however, share the common theme of a mysterious voyage. The film, set in an unidentified near future and a familiar but unnamed locale, depicts a forbidden journey through \"the Zone,\" a region closed by government officials to all unauthorized personnel. In the heart of the Zone, according to rumor, is a room where everyone's most secret wish and desire will be fulfilled. The Stalker is a guide, one who takes those who are willing to risk everything to the room at the center of the Zone. Using no special effects or conventional gimmickry, Tarkovsky creates haunting atmospheres by inference and subtle innuendo. Likewise, this sonic creation by Lustmord and Rich takes the listener through a similarly mystifying Zone. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is music for aural exploration. The two composers create an alternate reality, a unique territory from an unknown universe. Like Tarkovsky's film, the music moves slowly and the subject matter is abstract. Sonic events flow seamlessly, eluding identification. One of the few familiar images is that of water, with its symbolic evanescence and transience. While the music is not about \"stalkers\" or \"serial killers,\" it has the same darkness and sinister foreboding implied by such terms. The music is evocative, but never precise. Instead, the music invites the listeners to participate in the creative process and find their own extra-musical vision. This is a kind of head candy, a sound design project for the adventurous listener. There are no hooks, no catchy melodies or danceable rhythms. New ambient, but also much more. Psychoactive sound, a sonic expedition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e2-HOS-11059\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eCredits\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003ezone activity documented by\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBrian Williams and Robert Rich at Soundscape 1994 - 1995\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eadditional preparation at Scientific Electric\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003efinal mix by Robert Rich\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003emastered by Bob Olhsson and Robert Rich at Hearts of Space \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hearts of Space Records","offers":[{"title":"2xLP (2nd Pressing)","offer_id":18241790410821,"sku":"1-HOS-11059","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2xLP (1st Pressing)","offer_id":14442421354565,"sku":"1-HOS-11059","price":32.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD | Autographed","offer_id":18241802403909,"sku":"2-HOS-11059S","price":16.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":10594186755,"sku":"2-HOS-11059","price":16.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"MP3 Album","offer_id":10594186819,"sku":"2-HOS-11059D","price":8.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"WAV Album","offer_id":10594186947,"sku":"2-HOS-11059L","price":11.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Elemental Trigger (MP3)","offer_id":20178059974,"sku":"USAKS0600990","price":1.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Synergistic Perceptions (MP3)","offer_id":20178132550,"sku":"USAKS0600991","price":1.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hidden Refuge (MP3)","offer_id":20178139526,"sku":"USAKS0600992","price":1.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Delusion Fields (MP3)","offer_id":20178146118,"sku":"USAKS0600993","price":1.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Omnipresent Boundary (MP3)","offer_id":20178153926,"sku":"USAKS0600994","price":1.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Undulating Terrain (MP3)","offer_id":20178155334,"sku":"USAKS0600995","price":1.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A Point of No Return (MP3)","offer_id":20178158022,"sku":"USAKS0600996","price":1.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Elemental Trigger (WAV)","offer_id":20178176966,"sku":"USAKS0600990L","price":1.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Synergistic Perceptions (WAV)","offer_id":20178213382,"sku":"USAKS0600991L","price":1.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hidden Refuge (WAV)","offer_id":20178217990,"sku":"USAKS0600992L","price":1.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Delusion Fields (WAV)","offer_id":20178227334,"sku":"USAKS0600993L","price":1.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Omnipresent Boundary (WAV)","offer_id":20178235078,"sku":"USAKS0600994L","price":1.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Undulating Terrain (WAV)","offer_id":20178239238,"sku":"USAKS0600995L","price":1.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A Point of No Return (WAV)","offer_id":20178247238,"sku":"USAKS0600996L","price":1.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0947\/6410\/products\/Stalker.png?v=1751377285"},{"product_id":"joanie-madden-song-of-the-irish-whistle","title":"Joanie Madden - Song of the Irish Whistle","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrom Joanie Madden - the reigning queen of the Irish whistle, the solo album everyone's been waiting for.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"descript\"\u003eFrom the reigning queen of the Irish whistle, here's the solo album everyone's been waiting for.

More than just establishing novel moods, Khan and Taschner create an alluring, seductive, sensual new world, at once spacious and intimate, rich and austere, colorful and focused.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eTracklist\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGhazal De Savoy 6:10\u003cbr\u003eBahadur Shah's Last Poem 9:00\u003cbr\u003eBlack Marble And Sweet Fire 12:32\u003cbr\u003ePrayer For X 2:46\u003cbr\u003eBoot And Paisley 7:59\u003cbr\u003eNight Crossing 5:44\u003cbr\u003eMercedes (The Passion Of The Late Nizam) 5:52\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e2-HOS-11061\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eCredits\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eProduced and recorded by Kai Taschner\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAdditional sound treatment: Andreas Cammerer\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRecorded 1995 at Kai Taschner's \"Tobacco Lounge,\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMunich, Germany.

STEVE ROACH's restless vision has taken him across some mighty sonic expanses. Alone and with an international band of collaborators he has attempted to find the place where sound comes from, blending synthesizers and early instruments to create a highly original organic brand of modern electronic music. He has looked toward the ancient as a signpost for reading the modern world and vice versa with mystifying accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn The Magnificent Void, Steve Roach tracks the terrain that lies outside the discussion of space, time, and even music. Without the aid of insistent rhythms, Roach takes his electroacoustic investigations into the dark heart of the sonic ooze to find the country that lies within and interpret its languages. The sounds that emanate from his journey are older than form,order or civilization. He interprets them from the experiential realm as a medium. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor nearly two decades Steve Roach has been at the forefront of new directions in electronic and acoustic music. His work has consistently confounded classification and genrefication. A true pioneer in his field, he has worked with musicians, filmmakers, artists and photographers across the globe to further the discussion of artistic expression. Younger innovators in the techno and ambient worlds revere Roach's contributions and are amazed at his ability to stay years ahead of the curve. With The Magnificent Void, Roach ups the ante once again. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The Void,\" wrote metaphysician Stanislav Grof, \"exists beyond form of any kind. While being a source of everything it cannot be itself derived from anything else. It is beyond space and time.\" The Void then, is not something we do, it is something we experience. It is nothingness, emptiness, silence. It is not a state so much as a place of interior geography that nonetheless connects all beings in the phenomenal and archetypal worlds. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn The Magnificent Void, his first solo recording for Fathom, electro-acoustic music pioneer Steve Roach, inhabits that very place in order to speak from it; the music here comes not from the relating of that experience, but from the encounter made manifest within it. Through this vast interior landscape, one that prefers stillness and stasis over rhythmic movement, Roach is not looking to describe his surroundings so much as to be fully inside them. Indeed, on these eight interlocking tracks, Roach seems to be asking, \"If the Void could speak, what would it say?\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSince he began recording in 1979, Steve Roach has restlessly and relentlessly pursued a singular course for himself in the electroacoustic field. He has traveled, beginning with his landmark Structures From Silence recording in 1984, through his many solo and collaborative projects (over 30) to this present effort, into the distilled heart of sonic essence itself, and its mirrored double, nothingness, to find the seam where they converge: Silence, from where all sounds emanate and eventually return. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Magnificent Void, then, is for Roach, not a summation, but an entirely new path of musical exploration; it is a benchmark for an already prodigious and celebrated career. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe opening track, on this disc, the nearly eight-minute, \"Between the Gray and the Purple,\" is, in all of its washes and drones, a locator of distance and environment. Because of its distinct lack of percussion, it is startling. It's pure drift, full of cascading images and comforting phrases that lull and mystify. For all its wandering and nebulousness, it's full of emotions that fall on top of one another, gradually becoming a weave of feeling and unknowing; it prepares us for what comes next. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn \"Void Memory One\" (which is at different points in the journey followed by Two and Three), images begin to articulate themselves in fleeting fashion, through the ears to the brain and even into the unconscious, which then begins to speak aloud. The fact that this track is a segue from the previous, and that all the others follow suit, is an accurate reflection of how stillness and silence take their place among us and allow us the freedom to move away from an overabiding concern with the physical world. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy the time we slip into \"Infinite Shore,\" and its segue into \"Cloud of Unknowing,\" Roach has moved himself into the background, allowing the sound to speak for itself in the heart of the listener. Here, mood, color, modality, nuance, and texture, are all interspersed with space and atmosphere. The stillness, no matter how dark the emotion expressed, is pervasive. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter moving across more amorphous bridges, through paths of memory and ghostly presences, where archetypes and sketchy spirits float through the dark drift unbound, we come to, at last, the gateway of \"The Magnificent Void.\" In Roach's unobtrusive hands, it comes into view as having always been there, ever present, ever silent, informing the journey at every step, yet never being the thing itself. Like Arvo Part's simple, tinntinnabuli investigations into the mystery of three bells ringing - in order that his music might cross the threshold of heaven - Roach has overcome his accumulated knowledge and placed it under the guidance of the Void's utterance of the eternal. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInnovation is a strange thing, it moves us forward and holds us back; only the true artist can discern the difference between the two, and know when the balance has been tipped. Steve Roach is that artist, unafraid of what the future might hold and embracing that which will grow him out further. Yet he keeps one eye cocked to the lessons of the past as a way of grounding his work; he rejects musical trends and technological fashions as inept fixes to age old problems in the word of organic sonic inquiry. Here, Roach goes to sleep in the questions in order to wake up in the answers. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat there could be a record like The Magnificent Void at the end of the 20th century, which refuses complexity and obfuscation for the sake of allowing the primordial to speak freely is remarkable. That Steve Roach, after such a long and celebrated career, can still, without artifice or falsity, articulate this vast yet simple vision, is astonishing. This is the gate, step inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e2-HOS-11062\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eCredits\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCOMPOSED, PERFORMED AND PRODUCED BY STEVE ROACH\u003cbr\u003eRECORDED AND MIXED AT THE TIMEROOM, TUCSON ARIZONA\u003cbr\u003eVOICES ON CLOUD OF UNKNOWING BY LINDA KOHANOV \u0026amp;

Maybe you can figure out how two talented brothers from a second generation Canadian-Italian family got the idea to stage a non-hostile takeover of the durable Celtic folk genre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Celtic Tale is the soundtrack for an imaginary film dramatizing the beautiful and tragic medieval Irish legend of Deirdre. In the service of this classic myth it brings together the best elements of Celtic folk, symphonic and ambient recordings, and sets a glorious new standard for popular Celtic music.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe were wondering how the project started, so we asked. MYCHAEL DANNA\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.valley-entertainment.com\/artists\/mychael-danna.html\"\u003e \u003c\/a\u003ehad previously recorded Celtic themes on his solo albums. On the phone from Toronto, he is enigmatic. \"I guess I just like it.\" JEFF DANNA is not much help either. \"Mychael gave me a call...\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePerhaps we'll never know the real reason they came to it, but take one listen to this magnificent Celtic fantasy and you'll be very glad they did. Musically, the Dannas bring together a wide array of Celtic folk instruments: fiddle, tin whistle and flute, guitar and mandolin, Uillean and Highland pipes, wirestrung harp, concertina and bodhran - with all their bite and pungent overtones - and surround them with the harmonic richness, color and power of the orchestra. Add the dramatic sense of a great director and a sound designer's sensitivity to ambience, and you have perhaps the first truly cinematic treatment of Celtic mythology for the audio medium.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe project was written and recorded in Toronto and Los Angeles in lulls between the Danna brothers' ongoing film and video scoring projects. Top soloists from both the Toronto folk scene and the LA studio world built the instrumental beds over a period of months. When this phase was complete, the strings and orchestral elements were added in Salt Lake City, and the mixes finally came together in Los Angeles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe results are extraordinarily varied and colorful, no less so for the fact that they are a careful exposition of the original Deirdre legend, which has been translated and adapted for the notes by JOHN STUART DICK. In a recording that abounds in outstanding performances, KRYSIA KOCJAN's powerful reading of the song \"Lament,\" with original lyrics by John Stuart Dick, rings in the mind long after it is first heard. The soulful blasting of the highland pipes, flat out against the full strains of the orchestra is another highlight. Mychael Danna says casually \"It's a big sound...\" - and one which surely stirs the still beating heart.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd yet in the end it is a tragic tale, and the darker moments fully realize the depths of the epic battle between the forces of the druid and struggle of the heroes, and finally, the inconsolate sorrow of love lost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e2-HOS-11063\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eCredits\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduced by Mychael Danna \u0026amp; Jeff Danna\u003cbr\u003eAll songs composed by Mychael Danna and Jeff\u003cbr\u003eDanna except Lament, music by Mychael and\u003cbr\u003eJeff Danna, lyrics by John Stuart Dick\u003cbr\u003eAll music ©1996 Mychael Danna Music\/ SOCAN\u003cbr\u003eand Jeff Danna Music\/SOCAN.\u003cbr\u003eMychael Danna piano, keyboards Jeff Danna\u003cbr\u003eguitar, mandolin, keyboards Bob Grim trumpet\u003cbr\u003eIan Goodfellow and Ray Caldwell Villean pipes\u003cbr\u003ePatrick 'Gorman highland pipes Sharlene\u003cbr\u003eWallace Celtic harp Loretto Reid flute, tin whistle,\u003cbr\u003econcertina Ena O'Brien accordion Jamie Snyder\u003cbr\u003efiddle Kirk Worthington cello Glen Holmen\u003cbr\u003ebass mandolin, upright bass Krysia Kocjan voice\u003cbr\u003eEric Hall bassoon Ron Korb flute, recorder\u003cbr\u003eRecorded and mixed by the Brothers O'Danna at\u003cbr\u003eLA East, Salt Lake City; Too Much Sun Studios,\u003cbr\u003eLos Angeles; and Not Enough Sun Studios, Toronto,\u003cbr\u003eSummer 1995, except tracks 2,4, 8, 11 recorded by\u003cbr\u003eBrad Haehnel and tracks 6,8,11 mixed by Brad\u003cbr\u003eHaehnel.

Twirl a few knobs on this versatile device however, and it can sound like a tool for snakecharmers on Neptune. Tim Clark, in contrast, is not known for any particular instrument, but for his skillful use of nearly any obscure instrument to sound just the right note.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen the two got together originally for 1995's Rain, the result was a stellar example of two self-contained parts coming together to make an even greater whole. Clark's clean tones and percussive arrangements were the perfect contrast and foundation for Braheny's lyrical, sweetly emotive melodies. Cheered by critical raves, the two continued to collaborate and the seed that was nurtured by Rain has come to full bloom on their second effort.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNearly cinematic in its richness and detail, The Spell is a finely wrought feast for the ears and the mind's eye. The music flows effortlessly, belying the fact that worlds within worlds of wonder are layered into each of the eight pieces.

Two superb programmatic pieces are served up as well. On \"Time in the Mirror,\" the looking glass shatters inward, revealing the mysteries that lie on the other side, and, on \"A Perfect Evening for Flying Carpets,\" even the imagination-impaired cannot fail to enjoy the exact moment when the carpet lifts off and soars into the starry Arabian night.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThroughout it all, the music is marked by countless subtle nuances that are the hallmark of true craftsmen, and imbued with a unique magic that flows as a natural byproduct of this enchanting collaboration.

The glove compartment was full of tapes which had been sent to Klaus Schulze, the German electronic composer. We zapped through a few - dull, doodly, self-indulgent stuff mostly - before being struck by the welcome sound of restraint. Poignancy. Composition even. The name was Tim Story and he came from Ohio. Before long we'd arrived at our destination, hit the eject button and my back seat companion, Wolfgang Fenchel, pocketed the cassette.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA couple of months later, when visiting the French record label Atem, I came across the name again. A small pile of test pressings, stamped Tim Story Threads, stood forlornly in a corner gathering dust. Atem was about to fold...but more of Threads later. Enter a third country. My friend Wolfgang had sent the cassette to Uniton Records in Norway and a year later the appropriately titled In Another Country was released.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGermany, France, Norway... How on earth did the music of one Tim Story end up being courted and modestly feted in such un-rock'n'roll countries? One reason, of course, is that Tim's music is as far removed from rock as you could imagine; its delicate, deeply-felt character having more in common with turn-of-the-century Euro-classicists Debussy or Satie. Another reason might be that Tim's contemporary heroes were mainly European: Czukay, Roedelius, Wyatt, Eno...But perhaps the most practical explanation was that Europe, unlike America, had quite an extensive network of independent record labels which, although small, catered for a myriad of musical tastes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Another Country was a blueprint for everything that was to follow: short, compact vignettes of piano, subtle synthesizer and glissando guitar, with each simple yet painstakingly structured composition suggesting a different kind of tension. \"On the Green Cays,\" its piano and synthesizer countering one another, suggests (climatic?) foreboding, while \"Careen\" with its ethereal, chiming guitars is the calm after the storm. Maximal minimalism?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe summer of 1984 saw the release of the more piano-dominated (though dominated is hardly the word) Untitled. Tracks like \"In This Small Spot\" and \"A Promise and a Plea\" indicated something more personal, private. \"The Seventh Chance,\" with its tender melody, avoids sentimentality by countering the piano with a string-like accompaniment pitched at just the right tension. Instead of mere nostalgia, it looks forward. Instead of a yearning, there is a sense of emotional attainment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThree Feet from the Moon (Tim has always had a knack for delightfully expressive and idiosyncratic titles) appeared a year later. While its palette of color and texture was broader (note the title track), there was no great change in direction, orchestras creeping in, or middle-eights in 9\/16. Simply another exquisite collection of perfectly formed musical miniatures. At a time when electronic music often tended towards rambling, side-long epics, Tim's fondness for distillation and compactness was becoming, by contrast, all the more apparent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe last album for Uniton was the warm, rounded Wheat and Rust (1986). Its congenial Howard Hodgkin sleeve almost gives us a sense of place, but not quite - typical of Tim's music. There's something quietly majestic about \"The Secret Rhythm,\" for example, conjuring up images of prairies or fantastic waterfalls...that is until the sound of something like a shakuhachi flute transports us to the privacy of a Japanese ornamental garden. Yet it is less a sense of place and more a sense of feeling which characterizes Tim's music, no more so than on \"Chanarambie,\" included here.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMention must now be made of Threads, the not-to-be debut album. Originally scheduled for 1981, it seemed destined never to be until the Eurock label stepped in and, together with some extra tracks, released it properly in 1992. These early recordings are certainly more electronic in nature than what was to follow, and to an extent more rhythmic than melodic. \"A Thousand Whispers,\" though, is different again, having virtually no rhythm or melody. \"The Moors,\" meanwhile, is pure soundscape, all delayed drip-drop of rain and ominous sustained guitar.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe tension or 'edge' in Tim's music has distinguished him from a great number of his contemporaries. Things are rarely as they seem; an innocent melody is countered with a more knowing refrain, a jaunty veneer belies an attendant uneasiness. You get the feeling that, despite the beautiful melodies, there's often some nagging doubt.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbridged, then, is a catalog of emotions all perfectly parceled up in miniature. The pieces are modest in scale, private in nature, but live with them and they will reveal more of their character with each listen. Tim, of course, has since developed his style with subsequent releases, including the recent Beguiled and The Perfect Flaw, on Hearts of Space. But Abridged is a timely and welcome reminder of - or indeed introduction to - Tim's early music. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n \n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e2-HOS-11066\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eCredits\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComposed and Produced br Tim Stori\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOriginal tracks recorded and mixed 1979-86 by Tim Stor\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eat Seventh Chance Studio, Maumee, OH and Scharren\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eStudio.

A Troubled Resting Place is an arresting document of the recent solo work of experimental electronic composer ROBERT RICH. Collecting previously published tracks from a number of small-run labels on the international scene, the album presents Rich's contemporary vision with stunning clarity, exhibiting the seamless fusion of digital and acoustical environments that has proven central to the composer's more than decade-long span of recorded work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"The title originally came out as a description of the music,\" Rich explains. \"I was going for this quality of a sort of static slow-burn; music that contained an atmosphere, not dissonant or dark, but a little troubled.\" Composed during a time of transition in Rich's own life, the album explores the sort of extended, contemplative droning characteristic of his earliest work, but is here fleshed out with organic arrangements of shape, hue, and texture that expand the individual tracks into vast, immersive environments that suggest much to the active listener. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith the material originating on projects for labels like TimeBase, Side Effects, Projekt, and Amplexus, A Troubled Resting Place also offers a probing, more outbound side to Rich's solo guise. \"I like compilations because they reach a different audience and they allow me to be more experimental,\" Rich says. Though reminiscent of his recent solo work with B. LUSTMORD, much of the material was actually completed before their 1995 HOS collaboration, Stalker, and finds Rich foregrounding elements of composition and sound design previously more foundational to his solo work. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEmploying instruments in terms of mutational possibility instead of harmonic or melodic ends in themselves, these compositions breathe a foreignness accentuated by their titles (\"The Simorgh Sleeps On Velvet Tongues,\" \"Bioelectric Plasma\"). As the composer explains, \"a lot of the sounds I use come about through a sort of careful mangling.\" Synths, steel guitar, flutes, and clay pots, but also field recordings, incidental noise, and the internal artifacts of digital processing all become points of origin in a continual process of musical regeneration, an entropic play of texture and tone that invites exploration. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"In my music I aim for a certain beauty,\" Rich explains, \"but a beauty which is informed by a kind of questioning, aspects of doubt.

The late 1970s was a very exciting time for me, both in terms of personal growth and laying a new musical foundation. I had been playing guitar since I was about 14 (1962), first in surf music bands, then backing up concert artists such as The Lovin Spoonful and Paul Revere and the Raiders, later evolving to acid rock, and finally, in the mid 1970s, playing in a Las Vegas style revue. In 1967 I began to evolve my own personal music and explore musically in non-traditional ways, starting with compositions for guitar, organ, voice, and processed tape. These early sonic explorations were musical hieroglyphics for the inner and outer changes I was experiencing. At first, the only frame of reference my audience had for my private music was the drug experience. Over the years, the music grew and evolved but I still had no public context to define and develop into support for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1975 I met Emilie Conrad-Daoud and her husband Gary at a workshop in my hometown of Tucson, Arizona. I had been playing music in local bands, had built my first recording studio, and was producing commercials. Gary was playing music for Emilie's workshops using a Mini Moog synthesizer and processed tape loops. His music resonated with the sensibilities of my private explorations. And he had a context for his work. During their stay in Tucson we had a chance to hang out together and share our music and visions. By the time they left I had been invited and encouraged to move to Los Angeles, study with Gary and Emilie, and play music at the Continuum studio. Within two weeks my girlfriend Susan Harper and I tied up all our loose ends in Tucson and moved to LA! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt their studio I met and played with Don Preston of the Mothers of Invention, and Craig Hundley, with whom I formed the free jazz trio Alivity and later began my explorations in film composition. I also played with Fred Stofet, an amazing percussionist who bowed cymbals and played trumpet-like sounds through various hoses. Several years later, synthesist Kevin Braheny also joined the studio. The body of the work was performing live music on a daily basis for classes of Emilie's students who had come to participate in the process that she called \"Continuum.\" At that time, Continuum included ritual meditations, breathing and sounding explorations, and what Emilie called \"cellular movement.\" Along with the class work, there was often opportunity for live public performances. By 1977, I had formed a small independent record label with Susan Harper and a close friend and investor, David Breuer. This was the year of our first releases, Desert Moon Walk and Sustaining Cylinders. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter the release of Ancient Leaves in 1978, I performed a concert series in Los Angeles and Berkeley called \"The Voice of the Dragon.\" The concerts were based on a dream realm I had been entering in which there was no differentiation between sound, movement, and color. To bring these dreamings into concert form, I worked with dancers Susan Harper and Emilie Conrad Da-oud and lighting designer Marianne Schneller. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJust before traveling to Berkeley to perform, I received a call from Stephen Hill, who had a radio program on KPFA-FM in Berkeley on Thursday nights called Music from the Hearts of Space. He had been listening to Ancient Leaves and invited me to be interviewed on his show while I was in Berkeley for the concert. At that time he hosted his show with his former partner Anna Turner. This was the beginning of my long association with Stephen and Hearts of Space. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis CD features music from the early albums Desert Moon Walk [1977], Ancient Leaves [1978], Morning Jewel [1979, re-released on CD in 1985 as Jewel], Lyra [1983], Light Play [1983, re-released on CD in 1984 as M'ocean], and Floating Whispers [1987]. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring the recording of the earliest of these works, \"Vicki's Dance\" and \"Desert Moon Walk,\" I was playing live at the Continuum studio. The source material for these pieces was taken from those early live performances. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Ancient Leaves\" and \"Elysian E\" were two of my first composed pieces. They were recorded in 1977 for release by my record label Continuum Montage. On them I wove the sound of the Mini Moog, Yamaha CS-80 and other early electronic instruments with a Finnish kantele, Gregorian Chants, and my own voice. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1979, with the piece \"Morning\" I began weaving ambient recordings made during my travels into the fabric of the music. These early field recordings were made with a cassette recorder and a pair of Pearl microphones. For \"Morning\" I recorded the ambiance of a desert sunrise outside Tucson, Arizona, and early morning sounds of the jungle village of Yelapa, Mexico. \"Jewel\" was created on the \"Eikosany\" vibes, an instrument created by Erv Wilson. The \"Eikosany\" is a set of vibes with 20 tones to the octave. The raw recording was made by fading up the microphone after the impact of the mallet on the bar. This created a soft envelope for each note without the sharp sound of the mallet striking the metal. The recording was then slowed down and processed. The vocals were sung by Marsha Lee and then recomposed and edited to fit the piece. \"Night Currents\" was recorded late one night in Big Tujunga Canyon in Southern California. While hiking up the canyon, I had a close call with a rattlesnake who was out looking for a midnight snack. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Subterranean Ambiance,\" \"Rivers of Rhythm,\" and \"The Dragons Dream World\" were recorded with sculptor George Landry's Lyra Sound Constellation, an installation at the Double Rocking G Gallery in Los Angeles in the spring of 1983. 'Lyra' was a gigantic electronic harp over 35 feet across and 20 feet high, with 156 strings tuned in a microtonal scale. One played the instrument by moving through it while bowing and plucking the strings. I also collaborated with George Landry on \"Landlight,\" featured on my 1993 Hearts of Space album Sacred Site. All these pieces were recorded live with the instrument. One of my concerts with Lyra was featured on Ripley's Believe It or Not on ABC Television. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Much of the material on this album was recorded on a four track analog tape recorder with no noise reduction.  Every effort has been made through digital mastering to bring the material up to current standards.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"descript\"\u003e- Michael Stearns, Santa Fe, New Mexico, 1996\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e2-HOS-11068\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eCredits\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll music composed, performed, produced, recorded, and mixed by Michael Stearns.

At the time there were no formal distribution channels for such music, and many emerging artists made extra income on the New Age fair circuit. These were large public gatherings where people hawked everything from meditation techniques to communal life styles. We would travel around the country to different cities several times a year, set up booths and introduce the public to our music. Georgia Kelly, Constance Demby, Iasos, Steven Halpern, and Ethan Edgecomb of Fortuna Records were some of the others selling their music at these events. It was great exposure. During and after the shows we would get together to network, and exchange ideas. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs my main gig from 1975-1981, I played music for Emilie Conrad-Da'oud's Continuum Studio in Los Angeles. At Continuum, I was creating a live musical context for participants who were exploring what it might mean to be human in other than our habitual enculturated ways, through breathing, sounding, ritual meditations, and \"cellular movement.\" It was a perfect context for my musical explorations and development, free from stylized musical forms and intonations. We created new musical instruments and new expressions, and wove into the fabric styles and instruments from other musical traditions.

From 1979 through 1983, I worked with friend and composer Craig Huxley at his home studio in Sherman Oaks. The film scoring work varied from exploitation films like Schizoid to documentaries like ABC's The World of Explorers, and culminated in engineering the music for Firefox and Dreamscape for veteran film composer Maurice Jarre. In 1984, director Ron Fricke asked me to score the IMAX film Chronos, my first major solo effort. For Chronos I installed a six-channel discrete surround monitoring system in my studio in Santa Monica. This allowed me to compose an architectural score (along with the musical score) for the music and film soundtrack within the virtual theater environment of my studio. It also gave me the capability of producing and mixing sound tracks for large format films, which I immersed myself in for the next seven years. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis CD features music from my early albums Ancient Leaves [1978], Light Play [1983, re-released on CD as M'ocean in 1984], Plunge [1986], Floating Whispers [1987], and several previously unpublished pieces. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI composed and recorded Ancient Leaves at Continuum in the spring of 1977 and performed it live in August of that year at the \"7-7-77\" concert event in Ocean Park, California.

After the release of Ancient Leaves on vinyl in 1978, I traveled to the San Francisco Bay area to perform \"The Voice of the Dragon\" concert series. While there, I met Stephen Hill and his former partner Anna Turner and was interviewed by them on their program Music From the Hearts of Space. At that time it was broadcast on Thursday nights on KPFA in Berkeley. Stephen was very interested in the context from which my music emerged, and shortly after the interview he traveled to Los Angeles and studied with Emilie for a month. While exploring at Continuum he stayed with me and Susan Harper, and we began to lay the foundation for what would be a long association that still continues. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn 1980, Susan Harper and I were married and I composed the piece \"Marriage Chords\" for the wedding. I performed it live at the wedding ceremony on the Serge modular synthesizer and recorded it with no overdubs. It was released initially on Light Play in 1983, and then re-released on M'ocean in 1984. In 1984, I arrived back in Los Angeles after traveling to Europe and Egypt with the Chronos film crew, and found a huge pile of new instruments and tape recorders literally sitting on my doorstep. \"Voyager,\" a piece that I had entered in the Roland\/Teac synthesizer tape contest, had won both First Place and Grand Prize. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Three Faces of the Goddess Theme\" and \"Her Way\" were created for a series of performances at the Asilomar conference, a collaboration between myself and dancers Susan Harper, Georgianne Cowan, Vicki Esken, Carolyn Conger, Sheila Rosen, and Stephanie Franz. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI released the albums Plunge in 1986 and Floating Whispers in 1987 between film projects.

A stunning album, with its Celtic source material, sumptuous harmonies, and gorgeous melodies, The mind floats gently across the natural greenscapes of Ireland, Scotland and England through BILL DOUGLAS' sonic images when experiencing Deep Peace-the British Isles in their greatest serenity. But these are no mere landscapes. Rather, Douglas has fitted his vast experience in both jazz and classical music to that great heritage, a tradition of pictures in sound, and the poetry of those who have lived and felt those scenes. Two-thirds of the collection of original works are set to the great poetry of the English-speaking peoples, while the rest are instrumental settings of lyric, melodic invention. The set opens and closes with the title piece, a choral version of the traditional Gaelic blessing, a kind of litany wishing the recipient the peace of \"running waves,\" \"the flowing air,\" \"the quiet air,\" \"shining stars\" and \"gentle night,\" so that all may \"...pour their healing light on you.\" (A solo vocal version first appeared on Douglas' Jewel Lake, released by Hearts of Space in 1988.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe other works continue this mood through the idyllic poetry of Robert Burns' \"Flow Gently, Sweet Afton,\" William Blake's \"O Earth, O Earth, Return\" (his derivation of the Latin prayer Dona Nobis Pacem), \"Piping Down the Valleys Wild,\" and \"The Voices of Children.\" Not to neglect 20th century authors, Douglas also set William Butler Yeats' \"Red Rose, Sad Rose\" and the lasting wisdom of Alfred Graves (\"Irish Lullaby\"), who lived well into his 80s, passing on in 1931. \"I love poetry almost as much as music,\" confesses Douglas, \"and it is particularly satisfying for me to present these musical settings of some of my favorite poems. For me, these poems express the utmost tenderness, purity, joy and poignancy.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMusic can of course be poetic even without words. So Douglas includes the four purely instrumental pieces: \"The Wandering Moon\" (full of Medieval coloration), \"The Silent Forest,\" \"Return to Inishmore\" (a rather lively dance tune), and \"Evening Star\" (on a theme which captures the plaintive nostalgia dear to Vaughan Williams fans). Douglas himself accompanies several of his choral settings. He can be heard playing synthesizers, piano - a Bosendorfer Imperial Concert Grand no less (the Rolls-Royce of pianos) - and a bassoon (sometimes up to four bassoons overdubbed).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe ARS NOVA SINGERS, under the direction of Thomas Morgan, are a 10-year-old group from the Denver-Boulder area of Colorado, where the composer lives.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBesides insight and poetic perception, Douglas approaches the field of composed folk music from an exceptionally solid background. Already a jazz performer as a teen in his native Canada, he received formal degrees from the University of Toronto and then Yale University, where he studied extensively with avant-garde composer Mel Powell. It was also at Yale that Douglas met clarinetist Richard Stoltzman in 1966, with whom he has toured and recorded ever since as both pianist and bassoonist. With Richard, he plays both jazz and classical music, sometimes with jazz greats Eddie Gomez and Gary Burton. As if that were not enough, Douglas was also at one time a bassoonist with the Toronto Symphony.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAfter seven years at the California Academy of the Arts, Douglas moved to a teaching position at the progressive Naropa Institute in Boulder, where he currently lives. It was there in the midst of the Central Rockies that Douglas became increasingly interested in the wider areas of world music. Besides his responsibilities for teaching classes in general musicianship, Douglas teaches a far-reaching series in music history, which includes not only the great European traditions but styles as diverse as jazz, gamelan, and Latin American music. His summers are now devoted entirely to composition.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn Douglas' easy flow of sound, craftsmanship becomes a hidden strength. Art escapes earthly gravity as the composer reaches new heights. In recognition of that attainment, Douglas was named 1994 Classical Composer of the Year by Canada's SOCAN, the country's composers' rights organization.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOf Deep Peace, Douglas adds, \"I wanted to write the most beautiful melodies that I could, so for inspiration I went to one of the great melodic traditions in the world, the British Isles folk music tradition.\" It's precisely this inspiration, combined with the lush influence of the Renaissance choral music tradition, that gives Deep Peace its unique beauty.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e2-HOS-11070\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hearts of Space Records","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":10598718211,"sku":"2-HOS-11070","price":16.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"MP3 Album","offer_id":10598718275,"sku":"2-HOS-11070D","price":8.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"WAV Album","offer_id":10598718403,"sku":"2-HOS-11070L","price":11.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0947\/6410\/products\/Deep-Peace.png?v=1449861096"},{"product_id":"steve-roach-and-stephen-kent-and-kenneth-newby-halcyon-days","title":"Steve Roach, Stephen Kent, and Kenneth Newby - Halcyon Days","description":"\u003ccenter\u003e\n  \u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 406px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=646540336\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/artwork=none\/transparent=true\/\" seamless\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/heartsofspacerecords.bandcamp.com\/album\/halcyon-days\"\u003eHalcyon Days by Steve Roach, Stephen Kent, and Kenneth Newby\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHalcyon Days is the first collaboration between legendary spacemusic composer Steve Roach with Stephen Kent and Kenneth Newby of Trance Mission.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA meeting of the minds fueled by high desert ambience and a natural affinity for psychoactive sounds.

Alcyon refers to the kingfisher bird of classical legend who would nest on the waters after they were calmed by the gods for a period of two weeks each year during winter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis final definition relates to the circumstances in which the trio came together to make this recording over two weeks surrounding the Christmas holiday in 1995. These three men, whose lives could at the best of times be described as hectic and turbulent, found a period of grace and calm under the Sonoran desert sunshine while the rest of the nation was deluged with snow and freezing temperatures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith only this short block of time held in common, the trio gathered with their families at Roach's Arizona home and studio, The Timeroom. There was no predetermined composing or recording strategy. They allowed their various musical influences free rein in the studio and in discussions over long walks in the desert and evening meals together. Sounds from Mexico, Indonesia, Australia and Africa were woven through electroacoustic soundscapes of hybrid trance rhythms and samples, colored and shaded by washes of shamanic textures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn their respective aesthetics, each musician is intimately familiar with the ways in which history, spirit, myth, lore and origin, operate and inform the many levels of the world of sound. To realize the project the artists employed myriad percussion instruments, keyboards, didgeridoos, and studio atmospherics such as \"amphibious dreamings,\" \"sampler shapeshifting\" and \"Max Objects,\" as well as the seeming cooperation of the divine, breathing its blessings upon the winter desert.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Halcyon journey is both a recording of events that surrounded the three collaborators (\"First Day,\" \"Slow Walk at Stone Wash,\" and \"Riding The Atlas,\") and an aural, metaphoric, iconographic one as well (\"Rainfrog Dreaming,\" \"Snake Brothers,\" \"Calyx Revelation\" and \"Kingfisher Flight.\") The title track begins the journey, opening the gateway of rhythm toward the meshed landscapes of the primitive within. We can discern the various elements at work, but they seem unfathomable until given context by the ambiguous strategies employed by the collective. They speak from the depths as they enter them, unflinching, curious, and full of awe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHalcyon Days explores via the extensive, diverse instrumental talents of Roach, Newby and Kent, the essential nature of sound itself: not merely what it is, but what it is created from, and in turn, what it creates. Looking under a forever shifting rhythmic surface, this recording, in a similar manner to Roach's other collaborations, Suspended Memories, Forgotten Gods and Earth Island, reveals the elemental and mystical spaces which swirl endlessly in the fluid textures of the sonic universe. This is music that names and erases itself while simultaneously naming its other. It reverses its body and logic, always searching for the elusive center where things previously thought to be oppositional converge. It conjures images, shapes and states of light and darkness, temporally bringing them to the fore while acknowledging their evolutional transience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe eight selections which make up the album emerged from the aether of the trio's collective creative potential. Each day's work sculpted yet another structure from the depths of pure improvisational invention. The results are intense and flowing; they bend and twist without breaking because of a unanimity of purpose. Each musician contributed by listening, executing and reacting to fissures and walls in the aural atmosphere. Goals were never defined, they were discovered -in the place where silence and energy exchange faces. Their fluid sonics bear witness to the psychic body upon which they are inscribed, then rise up and out from its surface for the listener, adding a new depth and dimension to the encounter of \"hearing music.\" The worlds created here mirror what lies inside the opaque, endless heart of sound itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHere, in the Halcyon Days of this trio's two weeks journeying together under the blessing of the gods, we experience the mystery of prolific collaboration, and the fruit of pure musical convergence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e2-HOS-11072\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eCredits\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll selections composed, recorded, and mixed December 17 - 28, 1995\u003cbr\u003eat the Timeroom, Tuscon, Arizona, by Steve Roach, Stephen Kent and Kenneth Newby\u003cbr\u003eProduced by Steve Roach, Stephen Kent, and Kenneth Newby\u003cbr\u003eMastered by Bob Olhason and Stephen Hill at Hearts of Space studio, San Franciseo\u003cbr\u003eAll compositions © 1996 Soundquest Music\/BMI, administered by Liminal Music\/BMI, and Trance\u003cbr\u003eMission Music\/BMI.
