DANCING CLOUDS with Alpha Brainwave Pulses Ref: RMA1133

Mick Rossi & Dr Jeffrey Thompson

Soothing musical grooves by renowned recording artist Mick Rossi, with embedded Alpha Brainwave Pulses by Dr. Jeffrey Thompson

Your body will enjoy the gentle rhythms while your mind is drawn into free flow and clarity.

Mick Rossi is a celebrated pianist, composer, percussionist, conductor, and arranger. On Dancing Clouds, Mick blends Alpha Brainwave Pulses created by sound healer Dr. Jeffrey Thompson into vivid, evocative, and mellow layers of melody and rhythm performed on keyboards, mbira, doumbek, shakers, harmonium, strings, saz, oud, and gongs. A truly unique journey into tranquil musical spaces.

Light Alpha Waves are the brainwaves that people naturally produce in states of alert relaxation. Dr. Thompson has developed unique ways to combine these light Alpha pulses with musical soundtracks. After a few minutes of listening, your own brainwaves “lock” onto the pulses and lead you effortlessly to what is sometimes referred as “the zone,” where your body naturally relaxes and your mind rests in a place of centered calm, quiet focus, and sublime clarity.

MICK ROSSI - a member of the Philip Glass ensemble - has been heard with numerous artists including Kelly Clarkson, Roger Daltrey, Hall & Oates, Jewel, Randy Newman, Dave Douglas, Wadada Leo Smith, and Carly Simon. His Broadway credits include “The Who's Tommy," “Jekyll and Hyde," and “The Full Monty," among others. He has appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, PBS, Lifetime, VH1, MTV, and The Late Show with David Letterman.

DR. JEFFREY THOMPSON’S clinical research with thousands of patients has led to groundbreaking discoveries in how sound frequency patterns built into musical soundtracks can alter states of consciousness and induce mind-body healing. His audio programs are used by Fortune 500 companies, health care professionals, and individuals worldwide.

DIVINE BLISS Ref: 2932C-BG

Shri Anandi Ma

A spiritual tale from India tells of a doll made of salt who was in search of God. The doll fulfilled his quest by jumping into the ocean - completely dissolving himself into the love of the divine. This demonstrates the attitude of supreme surrender - where the devotee of God is immersed in an ocean of divine bliss. On ‘Divine Bliss,’ a female master of devotional chant in the Indian tradition, Shri Anandi Ma (Mother of Divine Bliss), offers up nine ecstatic songs of praise in this spirit. Considered a living saint in the land of her birth, Shri Anandi Ma sings in a voice soaked with reverence for the sacred nature of all life. With gentle accompaniment by harmonium, tamboura and traditional percussion, ‘Divine Bliss’ lifts the listener up on waves of song to taste the peace and healing that are the hallmarks of true spirituality. "Exquisitely lovely." - New Age Retailer

DRUMMING - EN LA BOTÁNICA MAGICA Ref: M441CA-BG

Eric Casillas

A botánica is a shop specialising in a variety of potions, candles, charms, herbs, plants, books and other articles used in the spiritual world. Look on a display shelf and you’ll see Native American herbs and sage resting comfortably next to a statue of what appears to be the Roman Catholic saint, Santa Barbara. But it turns out Santa Barbara actually represents the African deity Chango. Clients of botánica don’t discriminate among the possible cures for what ails them. A Cuban may buy some Native American sage, if they’ve heard about it’s healing powers. Eric Casillas followed the same approach in putting together the music on ‘Drumming En La Botánica Magia’. For instance ‘Ya-Ta-Hey’ is composed of three distinct African rhythms, but along with the rhythms Casillas chants ‘ya-ta-hey’ the traditional Navajo greeting, while Ben Tavera King interjects the Native American Flute. Essentially, Casillas’s music represents the microcosm of spiritual and cultural influences found in a botánica.
