Creating music for the Inner Connection

Free Tibetan Bowl Meditation

As a musician I have been fascinated with the meditative brain wave state created with the Tibetan Bowls. Experiencing the Bowls in a healing session creates an altered state as relaxing as a massage. I have been trying to reproduce this in a way that puts me in this state and I have figured it out. Below is a recording using my mic placement that reproduces the way the ears hear.

Below I am offering a recording of this technique, Imagine that you are laying down in the center of 8 Tibetan bowls and they are being played around you. You hear the sound stage wrapping around you, left to right, above your head toward your feet.

To hear this effect you need to set up your meditation space. Create a space on the floor to lie down. Set up playback speakers that you can move and place them at arms length on each side of your head pointing at your ears. If you can't do this listen with head phones. The speakers in a laptop ar probably not going to work.

Jupiter, from Portals to Inner Space

From the album I recorded with Patti Pellerito. I'm playing Native American Flute and Patti is on Bowls. The Video I create with visualizers on Win amp.

On my web site you will find music that I have created as a solo artist and music with friends.  I worked with Tim Mead, (vocals and guitar) as the group “dasha ray”, and produced the cd Hearts Desire.  I have also worked Richard Carr (pianist) to produce the cd Dimensional Interplay.

You can also find links to my schedule, and information about me.

My influences include, but are not limited to: Coyote Oldman, Brian Eno, Deuter, Carlos Naki, Douglas Blue Feather, Douglas Spotted Eagle, John Huling, Marina Raye and Mary Youngblood. I like to play flutes made by Butch Hall, Lumas, High Spirit, and Gomez.
