Created in partnership between one of Europe's leading beauty therapists and a leading holistic musician, this album creates the perfect mood and atmosphere to complement the experience of pure relaxation brought about by aromatherapy. As stimulating or soothing plant extracts are massaged into the body, their potent balancing qualities are enhanced synergistically by the music, resulting in a more harmonious blend of mind, body and spirit. Sparkling layers of crystalline sound textures cocoon breathy wordless vocals as a poignant piano melody builds to a dramatic crescendo on the title track, an ode to the majesty of the Milky Way. A truly glorious piece of music, this tune manifests all the mystery and magic of the after-life. By carefully combining crystal-pure female voices and warmly resonant male voices with echo, reverberation and other electronic spatial effects, Otten crafts some amazingly deep and profoundly affecting melodies.
Winter seems to trigger loss just as Spring celebrates rebirth.
This powerful spoken word with music recording will surely be a great comfort to those dealing with the issues of transition, death and dying. Their experiences in letting go help one enter into a deeper inner dialog with this often uncomfortable subject, and encourage the embracing of loss as a necessary step in personal growth. Created with much love and beauty by musician-producers Michael Stillwater and Gary Malkin, the words and music presented here reach into the very heart of wisdom in order to console the soul. A deep rumbling heartbeat rises from the depths of the ocean accompanied by the unearthly ringing of a Tibetan bowl. Stark flute calls emphasize the eerie sensation of being on the slow rolling ocean as the dawn mist recedes and a single great eye rises from the water to gaze deeply into the watcher's soul.
