Description
Ken Kaufman has captured sounds from around the world. Native American rhythms resonate throughout "Autumn of Tranquility" with his use of electric piano, harp, temple blocks, recorder, and strings. Ken's artistry comes alive in "Reflections of Winter", an original piece with an American flare, created with the use of piano, bass strings, and oboe. Strings, Kyoto, and Machu pitchu bring out the Oriental flavor of "Showers of Spring". And "Serenity of Summer" is sprinkled with electric piano, xylophone, bass, shakers, guitar, strings and flute help put you in a tropical mood. These soothing melodies also complement the spoken word performance of Kathleen Swann in "Seasons of Serenity". We hope you will try this interesting presentation of progressive muscle relaxation.
Testimonials
Dave Howell describes "Rhythms of the World" in Rambles as: "...decidedly for relaxation. It is so new age, it makes George Winston sound like Jerry Lee Lewis... excellent for yoga, massage, or guided meditations...Piano/keyboard triplets maintain a soothing background while the other instruments provide the 'international' flavor..."
Wind and Wire features this critique by Michael Woodhead: "For a relaxing hour some evening, 'Rhythms' (of the World) fits the bill....These musical numbers form the background for Kathleen Swann's 'Seasons of Serenity', a CD, in which she uses guided imagery and positive suggestions along with progressive muscle relaxation to calm the body and mind...The overall presentation creates a soothing and relaxing atmosphere..."
