Mirabai Ceiba – She
(Video)

“Peaceful and meditative work by Mirabai Ceiba. Acoustic performance dedicated to all the women out there. A song that opens a gate to inner self giving the chance for spiritual and emotional development.”

-Nagamag.com

The serene beauty of duo Mirabai Ceiba’s upcoming album The Quiet Hour is a timely antidote, set for a June 11th release on Spirit Voyage. Mastered by Martyn Heyne (7K!), gently plucked strings and beckoning textures lead the listener on an inward journey of calm centeredness. Angelika Baumbach’s voice wells up like an undulating stream, blossoming forth with sublime poetry.

The deep, loving bond between Baumbach and her musical life partner—multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Markus Sieber (Aukai)—is palpable, as their instruments and voices intertwine on Mirabai Ceiba’s most intimate and meditative album to date.

The serene new single “She” embraces calm acoustics, an inward pulse, and the defining quality of silence.

Zachary Bruno – Emunah
(Spotify)

“-Emunah- is pure neo-classical minimalism. With repeated and slightly varied patterns, developing an attitude that is perceived by the ear right away. -Emunah- is a way to express the author's personality and the freedom of being.”

“-Emunah- это чистый неоклассический минимализм, паттерны которой повторяются и незначительно варьируются, создавая нужный настрой и максимально легко воспринимаемой на слух. -Emunah- это способ выразить авторскую индивидуальность и свободу бытия.”

-Nagamag.com

In August 2013, Zachary released his debut album, Before the Rain, which reached #37 on the New Age charts. Kathy Parsons, of MainlyPiano.com called the collection of original solo piano pieces “amazing music and an extraordinary beginning to a very promising career in music.” After being introduced to piano lessons at age 6, music composition almost instantly caught Zachary’s interest. And it wasn’t long before he was attempting to scribble down melodies and riffs onto homemade staff-paper. While composition came naturally to Zach, it took the constant encouragement of family and friends to finally persuade him to record his first album of his original compositions. Finally, after over 4 years of practicing, composing, and putting the final touches on the pieces, Zachary released his debut album of 12 original piano solos out into the world. The album would be titled, Before the Rain (2013). It did not take long before he saw an interest for his music, and a year later, he released his second album, Dawn Light (2014), which was promptly nominated and awarded 2015 Album of the Year by Whisperings Solo Piano Radio (2016). Zachary is currently working on his third solo piano album scheduled for release in late fall of 2018.

Steve Luck – Oscillation
(Spotify)

“Fluctuations of the water surface early in the morning, almost lit up the peaceful landscape. -Steve Luck- created the beautiful, melodic and gentle composition -Oscillation-. An artwork in the world of classical piano music.”

“Колебания водной глади у самого мыса ранним, почти что озаривший утренний пейзаж. -Steve Luck- сотворил красивую, мелодичную, нежную композицию -Oscillation-. Произведение искусства в мире классической, фортепианной музыки.”

-Nagamag.com

Oscillation is defined as a movement back and forth in a regular rhythm. It also refers to a fluctuation between beliefs, opinions and conditions. Emerging from lockdown, this piece reflects the feeling of uncertainty, felt during the Covid 19 pandemic. It has a simple poignancy and as ever amongst the intimate and meditative mood you can detect a little bit of hope.

Sun Rain – Zenith
(Spotify)

“Contemplation of infinity, which is filled around our world. Feel like a bird flying over the water surface. Hear the vibration of the nearest land. Only you, your fantasies and new single -Zenith-, are diluting silence and its magnificence.”

“Созерцание бесконечности, которыми наполнен окружающий наш мир. Почувствуйте себя птицей пролетающей над водной гладью. Услышьте вибрацию ближайших берегов. Только вы, ваши фантазии и новый сингл -Zenith-, разбавляющий воцарившуюся тишину своим великолепием.”

-Nagamag.com

Artist shared with us few words about this song"

"This track was created after a free form recording session with friend and cellist Raphael Weinroth-Browne. I recorded Raphael improvising for a couple hours in several different keys and styles and then compiled the recordings into a sample library. I then chopped and layered sections of the of the recordings to create a rich soundscape of strings and pads that float gently underneath bubbling arpeggios."

https://www.instagram.com/sunrain_music/

Based in Toronto, Ontario the music of Sun Rain is an opportunity for composer/producer Chad Skinner to explore the sounds of modern classical, ambient, and downtempo. The main focus for this project is to create thoughtful music conducive to feelings of contemplative stillness for the calmer moments that life has to offer.

Jaap Mol – Here To Love
(Spotify)

“Ambient and neoclassical; the perfect union of two elements. This is the love of two hearts, sunsets and sunrises. Also the whisper of the morning dawn and the singing of the cicadas during evenings. -Here To Love- gives an unforgettable feeling.”

“Эмбиент и неоклассика - это идеальный союз двух стихий. Это любовь двух сердец, закаты и рассветы, шепот утреннего прибоя и пение цикад прохладными вечерами. -Here To Love- дарит незабываемое ощущение. ”

-Nagamag.com

The fundament for this track was a rather hateful speech by one of our angry world leaders which I sampled an tried to turn into something beautiful. The result is this peaceful piano piece, which is essentially a loop, supplemented by drifitng synths, haunting cello’s and guitar. We can turn hate into beauty. Because we’re all together in this world and we’re here to love.

I can run like the wind...I can jump without fear...I can open my heart...Because you are near

Look what I have become...I'm a better one...Love look what you've done”

But more than just a love letter to Khu, who wrote the beautiful counter melody - full of hope, longing and realization - Jacqui seeks to inspire others and give them hope that they too can find the best partner for their life.
