From
my point of view as a patient, this disc fits my needs perfectly.
The easy virtuosity of the musicians allows me to relax into
the music. It doesn't require me to follow complex musical
patterns a but allows mw to float off into a misty landscape
of total relaxation. The long mellow notes of the flute, reminiscent
of Eastern meditational music, is accompanied by periodic
responses of the vibraharp and tinkling bells. For a total
length of 63:06 minutes of this CD there is consistency of
style, tone and presentation, which in other circumstances
one might find limiting.
In this case, however, such consistency actually assists
in maintaining the state of mind that this music induces.
From a practical point of view this is exactly what you, the
therapist, are attempting to achieve when you play music during
a therapy session.
As the authors of the liner notes have stated: "The
therapeutic potential of this CD lies in its absence of structured
sounds and rhythms. Gentle pulsating tones are timed to the
natural cadence of the brain while the floating melody of
the flute brings your body, mind and spirit into a state of
balance and harmony."
This lovely music should most definitely find a spot in your
clinical library. If this were a movie review, this CD would
get two thumbs up.
