Feng Shui Harmony Feng Shui Harmony CD Hiebinger, Richard
CD 97755
Feng Shui Harmony is a gentle and warm space of sound which is formed by the intermingling of the overtone rich acoustic instruments from Asia and the sound of falling water droplets from an artistically designed "sound fountain". The breath of the bamboo flutes, the overtones of the Chinese harp, the planetary tones of the sound bowls, the structures of percussion instruments and the flowing pearls of water droplets create an acoustic ambience with "good Feng Shui". The body, mind and spirit blossoms as it lets go into a greater flow of energy.

For Luna (Variations of Neptune) For Luna (Variations of Neptune) DIGITAL Rodriguez, Rodrigo


(Description from Rodrigo Rodriguez): A tribute to Rodrigo Rodriguez daughter.This piece of music consists of 3 melodic fragments that try to convey different emotions felt during the existence and life of my daughter Luna. The Moon has always been a symbol of mystery and search for the unknown for the human being for millennia. The melodies with the shakuhachi in this work are of a different character from the first solid and rigid part, through the second most emotional and sensitive part to the last section where the melodic expression opens showing an even deeper part. In this case the transcendental harmonies produced by the electronics of Les Silva create a symbiosis and intimate association of different musical protagonists that mutually benefit each other artistically as they progressively develop throughout the piece. The wormhole is usually represented as a tunnel with two ends at separate points in the space of time, it’s said in the wormhole hypothesis that it could connect extremely long distances, such as millions of light years or more, short distances, such as a few meters, different universes or different time points. This reasoning and scientific explanation about time definitely closes a meaning about the two worlds that my daughter and I live, in different stages of our life. The final stage; the explosion Neutron star merger animation ending with Kilonova explosion, has an empirical meaning without a doubt about the sentimental ties of father to daughter, a daughter can " outgrow" the space she held on your lap, but she will never outgrow the space she holds in your heart. “for nothing is more dear to a father than his daughter.”.In the last part also a beat appears and is shown as a factor of human life as the guiding thread of our odyssey in the physical plane. The Moon represents the feminine power, is the Mother Goddess, Queen of Heaven in some mythologies. In others it is a male deity. The frog, the toad, the wolf, the hare and the rabbit are animals related to the Moon, and are often represented as symbols of the moon.
