John Beaulieu - Calendula




JOHN BEAULIEU - CALENDULA
(a suite for pythagorean tuning forks)
1997
the relaxation company

here we have some more metal resonances. a suite of healing music by tuning fork master john beaulieu. each side explores different sets of intervals with a couple of longer pieces that open and close the tape. close your eyes and let the tones soothe your body / mind. enjoy!

visit mr. beaulieu's website -> HERE

“Inspired by John Cage's experience, I sat in an anechoic chamber for five hundred hours over a period of two years and listened to the sounds of my own body. I began to correlate different states of consciousness with the different sounds of my nervous system. Being a trained musician, I noticed that the high-pitched sounds of my nervous system consisted of several sounds in different intervals. Then one day I brought two tuning forks and tapped them. Immediately I observed that the sound of my nervous system came into resonance with the sound of the tuning forks. It was then I realized that people can be tuned like musical instruments!"

Joel Andrews - The Violet Flame




JOEL ANDREWS - THE VIOLET FLAME
1976
the group, inc.

here is a lovely album of harp bliss by joel andrews. 2 side long meanderings to get lost in.
one of my favorite new age record cover artworks of all time.
enjoy!

"the devic and elemental kingdoms are at one, and work interdependently on the horizontal grid of physical manifestation. therefore the vertical process of personal individual transmutation becomes a part of the process of planetary transformation, and through the symbol of the cross, stands as an essential link in bridging the elemental, human, and angelic kingdoms. this tranmutative work, carried out from below by conscious wielders of creative fire, when couple with the transformative activities of those dispensers of cosmic force from on high, illustrates the highest quality of co-creative effort in building a new heaven and a new earth, and becomes a practical demonstration for the vision of a new age. LET LIGHT AND LOVE AND POWER RESTORE THE PLAN ON EARTH"

Jay Arrigo - Organic Synthesis




JAY ARRIGO - ORGANIC SYNTHESIS
TEA productions
197?

ive had my eye on this record for awhile. finally found a copy out in San Fran. it has one of the coolest record covers EVER.
but the music is not much to write home about. kind of sub-par acoustic piano noodlings (a la Halpern), but not a bad record either. it has some very NEW AGE liner notes that make for a good read. i scanned in the booklet from the LP too, youll find a PDF archive of that in .zip file. don't really know much about jay arrigo at all....he had some sort of thing called TEA meditation classes or something.

"Organic Synthesis is an itinerary of the landscape of the soul - imagery for the four levels of being - physical, emotional, mental and spiritual - definable, related and connected through awareness, reachable through selective awareness and the colors and shapes we create for their expression. Experience the elusive melodies of fleeting moods, the energetic, pulsating spiral towards spiritual orgasm, the subtle silken imagery of joy and bliss, the clarity and precision of pure perception."

huh?
enjoy!!!
