Ocean's Edge - Spirit's Journey

This is a nonviolent, nature art movie by filmmaker, Robert Bornn. This colorful and enchanting film on DVD with its soothing, yet energizing, music and ocean sounds is for peaceful relaxation and inspiration. It is excellent for yoga, dance, exercise, massage, and meditation as well as for romance and family-friendly viewing.

Ocean's Edge sets dramatic coastal images, evocative abstracts, and natural ocean sounds to duets improvised by Robert with his partner, Laura Worth.

Six original, instrumental ballads performed by Robert on xylimba and drum and Laura on alto recorder are woven together with Robert's natural visuals. Ocean's Edge provides a nonviolent counterweight to typical "savage nature" documentaries. It is an artistic journey through the eyes of a seabird. This lyrical movie, without narrative, was filmed on digital videotape at sunset with nature providing all the "special effects."

On this newly released DVD movie you can choose images with three different sound tracks: "ocean sounds and music together," "music only" or "ocean sounds only". Each sound track is 18 minutes with the "Repeat Chapter" setting on DVD players allowing longer playing time of each track. A brief bonus choice is Robert's filmmaker's comments.

OUR SELECTION

Yoga Zone: Music for Yoga Practice

This mostly acoustic compilation of 13 cuts by such Windham Hill artists as William Ackerman and Michael Hedges mesh well for a soothing, even-paced (although sometimes a bit busy) musical experience that is excellent as accompaniment to a yoga routine. With a slow, steady rhythm, "The White Spirit" from French duo Uman unfolds the collection splendidly, transporting the listener to an exotic, rhythmic place perfect for focusing the mind and stretching the body. Other standouts include "Bridges" from Celtic-folk artists Nightnoise, featuring a lyrical acoustic guitar and plaintive violin; Philip Aaberg's poetic Crying Smile; and Patrick O'Hearn's electronic "87 Dreams of a Lifetime," whose cadences are just spirited enough to keep your body moving while still laid-back in delivery and meter. Yoga Zone is a solid collection.

"Through the Mist", the AMBIANCE album is a collection of exciting and soothing music to play while exercising or relaxing. It is invigorating while de-stressing. The tempo is steady offering a pleasurable listening experience.

"Jazz Me Forever, the Smooth Jazz Album" is just what it says. Smooth, cool jazz with a very commercial sound. Each track stands alone as a potential single offering melodies to enjoy and motivate you no matter what you are doing.

The Uptown Maestros were hired by The Pilates Studio of Los Angeles to create original music to be used to accompany the exercise program in their newly released Pilates for Pregnancy fitness video, designed and performed by Melinda Bryan. In the process of developing this music, The Uptown Maestros were faced with a unique challenge. There was no recipe to follow. So The Uptown Maestros began extensive research and found that there were several variations in the Pilates method. Some schools presentation of the method is slower with more of a Yoga-like feel, while others were energetic and dynamic. One thing was consistent within most of the leading schools, and that was that the Pilates method was more exciting and effective when performed with a rhythm.

Insight CD meditation music

Reach new heightened levels of awareness and help you take your mind to the next level. Beneath the soothing sounds of rain, special brainwave technology works to guide you into deep states of meditation. The Insight CD is designed to help you improve your mental and emotional well-being for long-term results.

The Awakened Minds audio technology will assist you in reaching levels of consciousness as deep and often deeper than those reached by experienced meditators, Zen monks, and Yogis who have been practicing meditation for years.

Research has indicated that this same state of brain synchronization is consistently found in the brainwave patterns of highly intelligent and creative individuals.

The Insight CD is so relaxing, it is even used by massage therapists and reiki practitioners to soothe and relax their clients during sessions.

Detaching The World - Ambient Music For Massage/Relaxation/Meditation


As we explore the depths of our "self", our "souls", through massage, relaxation, and other healing modalities, we gain experience and awareness. The music from Detaching The World is a transient, which allows for this awareness to occur in a peaceful, tranquil, and comforting environment.

This CD has been created to provide over 60 minutes in running time without the use of vocals or percussion. Emil Gagliardi has introduced a new style of guitar called "The Nuit's Effect" named after its rich soothing textures and deep earthy tones.
Gagliardi's vision of creating the perfect massage and relaxation music sets Detaching The World apart from all others. Its purpose is to serve gentleness and ease like the inhalation and exhalation of the breath.

Reviews:
Clair LaPlante, Massage Therapy Journal:
"Detaching The World contains no percussion or vocals to detract from its soothing sounds. It's dreamlike and gentle."

New Products, Massage & Bodywork Magazine:
"With a length of just more than one hour, Detaching the World is perfect for most bodywork sessions."

Enhancing Massage by Steven Halpern

Steven Halpern's music is eternally relaxing. All of his recordings are well suited to massage. This soundtrack makes me think of a garden in Greece for some reason.

This soundtrack is especially designed for bodyworkers. This music will enhance the pleasures of giving and receiving a massage. The music feels like a warm caress of sound.

A perfect gift for your massage therapist or for yourself. This has subliminal suggestions. "All areas of tension now relax." Look for massage oils containing lavender for even greater benefits.

Serenity Suite: Music & Nature by Steven Halpern

If it hadn't been for keyboardist Steve Halpern, the New Age genre may never have been born. His 1975 release, Spectrum Suite, marked the debut of a music whose compositional structure was free and intended for relaxation. Halpern built an entire career around this concept and thanks to his serenely inspired tinkling, along with the genre it spawned, thousands of listeners have found a musical way to unwind and heal from the stresses of life. Nowhere is this more apparent than on Halpern's Serenity Suite, a 1999 release that marries the sounds of tweeting birds and mountain streams with a gentle piano and warm electric keyboards. It's like a soundtrack to a camping trip, or rather, it captures the quiet contentment you experience when camping. Select tracks include airy flute, harp, and violin, which flow effortlessly within Halpern's pleasant atmosphere like stream water over mossy rocks. This album isn't for those who crinkle their nose at New Age music, but it certainly is for those interested in achieving serenity. Reviewed by Karen K. Hugg

Om Yoga Mix (released in 2003)
There are dozens of yoga CDs on the market, but the body benders at Dharma Moon Records might have a better line on it than most. Founder David Nichtern, who also wrote Maria Muldaur's hit "Midnight at the Oasis", is a Dean of Buddhist Studies, while his wife, Cyndi Lee, is an author and Director of New York City's Om Yoga Center. Lee sequenced Om Yoga Mix with previously released material from Dharma Moon Records as well as several new tracks. Mirroring the flow of a yoga session, Om Yoga Mix moves seamlessly from the floating spaces of Michael Hewett's e-bow guitar soliloquy on "Nagual" (in Being In Dreaming) to more uptempo themes like Nichtern's "In Praise of...," featuring kirtan-style chanting. Nichtern's global fusion group Drala is represented by the energized new track "Moment to Moment" and the slo-mo trance of "Opening the Gates" from their debut CD. An English vocal track with singer Falguni, reveals Nichtern's melodic pop sensibilities filtered through Indian raga. While English vocals are rare in the yoga world, it works on Om Yoga Mix, which takes you on a journey whether you're in a yoga session or listening session. Review by John Diliberto.

Drops of Nectar: Yoga Relaxation for Rejuvenation and Healing
CD by Shiva Rea.

One of the great pleasures of yoga is the relaxation session or savasana traditionally offered at the end of a class. When taught skillfully, savasana invokes the flow of energetic "nectar" down the spine to permeate the entire body with blissful energy. Now, with Drops of Nectar yoga practitioners can experience this rejuvenating dimension of yoga at home and at their convenience. Taught by acclaimed instructor Shiva Rea, this immersive two-CD program guides listeners through: Yoga Nidra, a relaxation method that works with 36 areas of the body, tension release through the five koshas (layers) of the body, a special meditation for healing areas of pain and blockage, Lunar Savasana - an effective means to rest the sense organs and induce deep and restful sleep, and "Awakening the Lotus" chakra-based meditation, and more.

Breath of the Heart

Krishna Das's Breath of the Heart captures the ecstasy, devotion, and life-affirming qualities of chant. Ably abetted by rap and rock producer Rick Rubin, Das joins with a choir dubbed the Kosmic Kirtan Posse, featuring the East and West Coast Posses, a group of some 50 members including Mike D of the Beastie Boys, while instruments as diverse as harmonium, Hammond B3 organ, violin, guitar, cymbals, and drums play backdrop.
Das and friends, through their gorgeously imperfect music, manage at once to exalt the divine and spotlight the inevitable suffering of the human condition. The core of Breath of the Heart - the lengthy "Kainchi Hare Krishna" and "Ma Durga" - successfully marry the sacred and profane, the temporal and the fixed.

Jai Uttal's Mondo Rama

Mondo Rama

Jai Uttal has been immersed in Indian music for decades. He traveled with the Bauls of Bengal, singing their chants, and he plays the dotar, a baby brother to the Indian sarod, which he studied with Ali Akbar Khan. His 1991 album, Footprints, essayed a heady, mostly instrumental world fusion full of atmosphere and improvisation, including a guest appearance from jazz trumpeter Don Cherry. For the most part, each succeeding album has found Uttal moving in the pop direction, emphasizing his vocals, in which he alternates emotional ballads in English and adaptations of the chants.
Mondo Rama continues the trend as Uttal rummages through the bazaar of global elements to enliven his songs, turning sacred chant into pop. From the opening "Narayama," with its vaguely calypso groove, soul choruses, and Beatles-esque guitars, to the turntable effects of "Sri Krishna," Uttal mixes raga-rock nostalgia with just a touch of ethno-techno ambience. At times, however, he falls short of similar fusions by singers like Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Shafqat Ali Khan, and Sheila Chandra. When his spiritual chants get undercut, rather than reinforced, by all the competing elements, his hymns can become trivialized, and the pop sounds can become forced and even cliched.
