WOW Audio

There are Three Types of Musicians

1. The Creative musicians, artistic persons, composers who have the capacity for creating new musical structures and who find original forms of musical expression.
2. The Performing Artists who know how to articulate the language of music by making it audible and intelligible.
3. The Listeners who are as important to the making of music as the performers. They are the people who make sense from what they hear. They understand and enjoy music, but do not necessarily become musicians.

The common denominator between all three is that they are Heart Oriented.

Katya Chilly “Svetlytsa” (11.28 mins) on The Voice of the Ukraine

Coming from an inner Silence, translating that stillness from inside out. So ‘filling’ and patiently robust. Later on in this video, when she sings with others, she maintains her inner listening which the others ride on.

Mohammad Eghbal (5.35 mins) performs & improvises mystical texts of Sufi poets accompanied by the oriental reed flute, Nye. His understanding of Rumi’s work & his deeper insights makes the Ney come to sing & come to life. All Mohammad’s pieces are his own compositions, interpreted in a new way during each concert and therefore emerge as unique performances each time. He was born in 1940 in Teheran.

The HU – “Yuve Yuve Yu” (5.52 mins) has nearly 37 million viewings for a reason. Just listen to this … WOW!

This is a Mongolian folk metal band – between rock, rap, Nordic folk metal & shamanic journeying. Listen to his horsehead fiddle neigh like a horse! I don’t resonate with the Genghis Khan fight – but rather with the robust energy, beat, movement & primal throat singing….oh boy you will smile & move. It’s exciting!

The HU – “Wolf Totem” (6.36 mins) LARGE sound…a large landscape in which bold brave people live. Yet it starts with silent space & the small; & returns to it at the end…ethereal! Modern day motorbike horsepower crosses the land like Mongolian horses still do. Primal overtone throat singing stirs a wonderful pulse & movement. See how you move when listening to this without a smile. It’s satisfying! Let me know what you think? 🙂

“Language of Silence” by Deuter (10.11 mins) Born in 1945 in Germany, Deuter is a musician who pioneered New Age Music for over 50 years connecting East & West. Throughout the decades his music has always been incredibly creative & ahead of its time. I appreciate that his music slows down to breathe space into it – suggesting the emptiness & beauty between the sounds. Music that has simplicity & is easy to make connection to feel in the flow.

Also listen to “Flowers of Silence” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ck94hl7zpdE

“Happens to the Heart” (5.09 mins) by Leonard Cohen. His voice & poetry of this masterpiece stirs something deep.

“Poem Of The Atoms” (Rumi 1207b) – Music by Armand Amar – (2.14 mins)

The music takes me on a fabulous journey of love through the night sky lit by a million stars.
O’ day, arise! shine your light , the atoms are dancing. Thanks to Him the universe is dancing, overcome with ecstasy, free from body and mind. I’ll whisper in your ear where their dance is leading them. All the atoms in the air and in the desert are dancing, puzzled and drunken to the ray of light, they seem insane. All these atoms are not so different than we are, happy or miserable, perplexed and bewildered. We are all beings in the ray of LIGHT from The Beloved, nothing can be said.

“Perception” by Estas Tonne (24.47 mins) Is a travelling Troubadour playing structured guitar music, while having the flowing uniqueness of improvisation. A fusion of classical structure, technique of Flamenco, roots of Gypsy, characteristics of Latin and Electronic Soundscape. His music is busy, shaped by emotional open-hearted expression, weaving in joy, tensions, excitement, gentleness & the grace of connection.

“On the Path of Truth I have been falling and falling, standing up again and again and keep on walking.
And I keep on walking this magnificent walk of remembrance called Love.”

Dead Can Dance perform “The Host Of Seraphim” Singer: Lisa Gerrard (5.28mins)

Captivating! One of the best bands ever. A sublime journey in which to succumb to the sound & interpretation of Bulgarian folk vocals. Lisa Gerrard makes these Balkan vocal techniques her own & meanders into other styles of unbelievable singing with lyrics that are a made-up language from within her.

Rumi, the father of Iranian mystic poetry & the pride of Iran. Iranians from the land of Aryans, Mithra, Zoroaster & Buddha! (3.4 mins)

May you be drawn in to this eternal call without time & space…to feel eternity within.

(A synopsis) When I die you must never think i am missing this world; don’t shed any tears don’t lament or feel sorry; don’t cry for my leaving i’m not leaving i’m arriving at eternal love; have you ever seen a seed fallen to earth not rise with a new life why should you doubt the rise of a seed named human; when for the last time you close your mouth your words and soul will belong to the world of no place no time.
