An interesting effect we have all come enjoy at some point in our lives is an echo -- the
physics of sound in space. We get fancy and call it acoustics when it refers to manmade structures
such as a rotunda, an opera house, a tomb or temple. The magical resonance of sound can be
something we discover in even the most mundane of places -- the shower.
On this collection of soundings you will travel through 17 tracks of out-of-the-studio
recordings from all over the planet. Stand within the Taj Mahal, drift up deep inside Great
Pyramid, meditate in The Temple of Heaven of China, sail the Sydney Opera House, hike to
Angkor Wat in Cambodia, wander tombs, abbeys, cathedrals, mosques, and relax at Echo
Canyon, New Mexico. Go visit all these places to hear voice, reed, brass, organ, flutes, and
traditional musics each coming alive in their locationally unique ambience.
Much of the journey is meditative, introspective, and inspiring. On this voyage you will
learn the language of space -- the timbre of the eternal Void's voice. Be prepared to acknowledge
the presence of grandeur. A 28-page CD booklet nicely charts your path. Bon voyage!
