Shackled77 Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 In line with Brian Eno’s descriptions of his late-70s series of albums, most of these new age collections were recorded for both listening pleasure and more specific purposes, such as meditation, relaxation, affirmation, massage, and self-help.... ....his notion created a genre of music that was both applied and marketed in a very different fashion from mainstream jazz, rock, and soul. The best examples open a window into another world. The most talented and inventive artists of this era include Joel Andrews, Joanna Brouk, Wilburn Burchette, David Casper, J. D. Emmanuel, Iasos, Larkin, Laraaji, Ojas, and Michael Stearns, among others... ...among others is leaving me wondering if any of my favs are amongst them.? :pianist: http://www.vice.com/read/tuning-the-human-instrument-0000254-v21n3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Very interesting stuff. This music seems to be a soundtrack for a spiritual journey. If you are in the mindset for enlightenment and expansion, it could hit just the right part of your amygdala. There is a science to this stuff. The repetition and rhythms do certain things to your brain waves if you let them. Interesting that enlightenment/new age music was most vibrant in the '60s, got watered down in the '80s and re-emerged in other forms in the '90s. Just like rock.
