The Power of Music

Ridge, looking towards west Portland, 2010

*****************************************************************
Every song I hear gives me a unique feeling . . . a song can smile at me, or accuse me, it can lift me up or compress me to my bones. . . it can sooth my weary soul, make me cry, it can enervate me, it can energize me . . .


Every song I hear becomes a part of me, driving me or halting me . . . warming me or cooling me . ..


Music has the most profound abilities to heal me . . . or hurt me . .


I have been so intrigued by the two albums this artist put on Jamendo this weekend. His compositions are so exquisite that some of them moved me to tears . .. . "Message from Mars" was one of those . . . I can't say why . . it just did. Maybe it IS a message from Mars . . .??!!???


Both of these albums are professionally done with excellent sound quality. The album covers are tasteful and attractive. Overall these are high-quality albums and worth a listen, no matter what your favorite genre is, because you may find a touch of most music styles running through these songs. But, you will definitely enjoy them. I can guarantee that!

Edit: He has put out a third album . . . which I am just beginning to listen to . .  very nice so far. 

Review for: "Moving Thoughts" by Zoltan Percsich

Here is an endless supply of beautiful music from this artist, as this album can be played over and over . . . an endless round . . . so enticing and celestial, like a walk in the fog on an early morning, cool and calm with the small birds echoing through the mist, and as the rising sun parts the clouds there is a feeling of calm in one's aloneness and a peacefulness ascending from the soul . . .  this and the sounds of angel wings gives a preview of heaven's peaceful atmosphere.

Music for the Soul

Yachats Oregon Coast 2010

Ambient Music: Once, not long ago, a friend of mine was listening with me to some of Van Syla's music, which I had put onto a video. This friend said it made her feel relaxed, as if she had been to a spa. I have never been to a spa, but it sounds nice and I understood what she meant by feeling relaxed. My day is complex and stressful and it is so nice to find music that I can trust, to play into the atmosphere of my room . . . let flow like a cooling river of healing balm over my soul, and feel calmed without having any startling nuances to alarm me or anyone else in my room. And there is always someone.

This music is like that: "DamacTron EG Ov" by Equanthom

Piano Music: I like to listen to compassionate piano music. By that, I mean the fingers flow over the keys .. .. like clouds over mountains, racing and pausing and pulsing with emotion.  These hands are sure of themselves and speak like a poet of the passions of life . . . love and grief . . . and moments of peace and tranquility. Fingers that understand the sorrows of the heart and follow the contours of a dream . . . long left behind, and a trail of a tear as it is brushed into the rivulets of mud as the rain comes streaming down.


This artist, Stefano Mocini, has touched my heart so deeply with his piano poetry and his "Music is a dream . . ."

Some of My Latest Favorites on Jamendo

Paris Street Musician 2010

I like this artist's music (Higgins) . . . it makes me smile and relax at the same time . . . Mostly ambient, piano, instrumental .. .. gorgeous!

My Review for his latest album: "Images"

What a beautiful album! I have been enjoying this musician, during the last few days, and when I discovered this latest album, I put it on to play into the atmosphere of my classroom and found that it increased the calm and positive feelings in the room (believe me that is NO light compliment when my students are taking their State Tests). . . so it played all morning . ..

These tracks are all just beautiful . .. unique from one another and yet they flow together very nicely . . . There were times I felt like flying and there were times I felt grounded . . . but I was never dropped like a ton of bricks . .. I was always carried so peacefully from one song to the next . . . the compositions were wonderfully accomplished through excellent choices of instrumentation and the ever delightful subtle nuances . . .

Gorgeous . .. how do we improve Higgins ??. . . just make some more of the same . . . and we will be delighted . . .

Persson . ..  has a new album out . . . I love his music . .  always gives a boost to my emotions:
Review for: "Let's Go to the Movies"

As always . . . Persson's music puts a big smile on my face and a flutter in my heart . . . its irresistible rocking blues . . And I feel his love for music so strongly in my bones that he has become one of my top ten favorites on Jamendo . . or anywhere since I only listen to Jamendo artists . . . LOL . . .

Perfection in guitar play and excellent compositions shines out from this album as it does from his others. The music puts energetic life in my soul . . nothing better than that! Just let the music fly . . and carry you away!

P.S. I'll never forget when I first discovered Persson and his beautiful "Blues for a Soldier"' and how I cried: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_--i2RHeiY
So . . . thank you Mr. Persson . . for sharing your music.

 Review for : "Transglobal & Magic Sounds" by László Hortobágyi (Red Puma)


 Ancestral Beating Heart: Herein, I was taken to far off places .. . .. shamanistic spaces, aboriginal . . . ancient passages through time . . . through temples and holy places . . . hearing the plaint of the priests and shamans . . . listening as we gather around the sparking fire, of stories long told . . . mysteries and shadows brought as offerings to the light.

This album resonated with my old soul . . the spaces in me which are still connected to my ancient ancestors . . . and I heard the primal cry and I followed these shadowy mysteries and offered my song to the gods .. . and there . . . I saw a rising light . . .

We share something here . . something so primitive, so deep . . . it is hard to find words . . .
