Breath in the Music . . .

Two fisherment talking on a bench by Christian Krohg

*********************************************

Soothing and sentimental . . . this music is like honey to the soul . . . a balm to the excesses of life. Gorgeous music for relaxation or something to let the brain think and be . . . to read and dream. 

****************************

Art Owens is one of my favorite jazzists . . . with such a handle on his trumpet and the other instruments he plays that it just takes me away . . . as I listen. He still has a few bits on Jamendo, but is using Soundcloud, now, as his way to share his new music and collaborations. Extraordinarily wonderful stuff!







******************************

A new favorite of mine, Olexa Kabanov, prepares some beautiful music for us. It alternates between worldly, exotic and ambiental . . . dreamy and often incorporating the instruments of the Orient bringing along the flavors of exotic regions and long ago stories that come to mind.
Let yourself float over the glassy seas as your soul flies through the brilliant skies . . . feel healed and whole . . . Here are three, nine track albums . . . enjoy!

Alive and New . . .

Street in Venice by John Singer Sargent

******************************************************************


The light shines through . . . even in the dark of night . . .  
in the heart and the active mind . . . the music leads
and guides . . . and takes us on a voyage of adventure
and dreams . . . 




***********************


As much as I love the music, here I love the story more . . . the tale is the thing so the listener must go read the story, while listening to the music . . . it's like a movie of the mind! Quite clever!:

*****************************************************************************

Jazzy . . . smooth and dreamy with a lift of life,
and the dancing feet of the piano
. . . Roberto Daglio gives the listener's environment
a whiff of cool breath and a tang of underlying steam 
with a bit
of snappiness . . . 
tap tap tapping to the beat . . .
Funky and bluesy . . . 




*****************************************************


Electronic explorative environments . . . driven by the beat of a mechanized vibe,
acidic with vision, and empowered by intuitive offshoots of sound . . . the music flashes with
light and sound . . . deep and magical. . . . inspiring.







******************************************************


Alive and well . . . Atomic Cat leads me to the heights of trance . . . and the dance
invades my soul . . . The music can be wild or chilled . . . swirling around the listening ear . . .
it envelopes the heart with energy and life. The only reason I ever came to love trance was because of Atomic Cat . . . Brilliant!

Set to play and watch your day come alive . . .. or your night . . . divine . . .

Dragonflies and Music . . .

A dragonfly I happened to meet . . . 

*********************************************

This composition, by Cloudjumper, grows as it progresses . . . from the smallest tinkling of bells, breathing quietly into the atmosphere, as if it were a child busy at dreaming . . . eventually flying and accumulating deep emotion as it becomes a dramatic orchestral creation.

**********************************************

Pierre-Marie dreams of Ireland . . . it's beautiful landscapes and especially the people
. . .  and his visions and the depths of his soul's light comes through his gorgeous music . . . a lovingly composed piece . . . beautiful, passionate and graceful!




And this jazzy piece is exquisite with drama and angst floating along with a bluesy undertone. . .
alive with sentiment, peace and love:

There are several exciting new pieces by Pierre-Marie, one of my favorite artists on Jamendo . .  better go check out his stuff:  https://www.jamendo.com/en/artist/338935/coedes-pierre-marie

Esther's music is graceful and sentimental, with an elegance of artistry which is remarkable
in this talented young woman's music. These compositions are great for background or would be wonderful in a film or dramatic play. Although a variety of styles and instruments are used, there is a consistency and flow to the entire album as there is to each piece. My favorite was "Red Desert" which was quite unique . .  flutes with a musical sound like water and the passing of a train like entity . .  made me think of Native American songs . . . dreamlike quality and mystical.  Very creative!

************************************************

Be ready to dance . . . or fill your wings with the wild breezes of the bear . . . and fly . . . Dom the Bear is taking us into the mountains with him . . . Sharing his vision and expertise and talent as his music sails past our ears . . and we soar with his care and guidance. The mountains have their own voices as this music tries to express the glory and wonder of the heights of this world, scraping the edges of the eternal sky. I especially liked the exotic bells of "Strange Bells." In the end we can rest as we picnic in the grass, listen to the birds and dream that we are there . . . Nice work Dom!

The Quiet Mind Listens . . .

Tea Leaves By William McGregor Paxton

******************************

So nice . . . set to play and enjoy this easy-listening, smooth flowing yet danceable music . . . 
Rich, 
like the rippling water of a cool lake at the end of a long day . . . 
reflective and gentle, 
yet full of life just
beneath the surface . . . 
Watch the dance of the dragonfly
tap your feet to the music . . . 
and the sparks of the fire
as they reach the sky . . .



******************************

I have raved about Julien Boulier so often that I won't say much about this album . .  One of his latest, except that I love it as much as I do the others.  I find that the spaces he leaves in each piece is like
a window
through which the spirit can fly . . .
or the dreamer can perceive the depths
of the sky . . . 
where one can find the meaning
of the soul . . .
where love abounds . . . 
where life lives . . .



******************************

Sean sings and Yvalain plays his rocking guitar . . . so hot . . 
so alive . . . Takes me back to those old days when the blues
were folding into electric guitar rock music . . . So exciting and
so intoxicating. 



**********************************************

This is simply beautiful . . . the delicate piano, guitar and vocals . . . 
like most folk music, were peaceful and gentle . . . full of tender sentiment and romance.
These recordings were live and thus sometimes were heard some external sounds, but the
music, compositions and melodies are meritorious and this album is definitely well worth a listen.
These singers have voices like balm to the heart . . .




**********************************************

Dark, droning and ambient .  .  . sounds that are barely there . . .
otherworldly, yet temporal . .  striking . . . and dramatic . . .
 . . . the flesh cries in the burning darkness . . 
remission . . . redemption . . . and lostness . . .
somewhere in the direction we seek . . . 





***********************************************

Dramatic and visual . . . this music is easy on the ears and the spirit . . .
I think it could also be used in a film or video as background music.
These pieces were created with thoughtfulness and creativity.



************************************************

I love Jorisma's music . . . it just sweeps me away with that clear,
crystal clean electronic energy . .. You can dance . .  you can work . . 
your brain is alive and you feel connected to the vision  . .. to the
dream . . . There is also the possibility that it could heal the brokenness
in the listener . . . so give it a try . . . let the music help you fly . . .
