One of my favorite self-produced recordings is one that I didn't create at all - only recorded. I've long said that my music is inspired by nature, and in this clip you will see why. Mother's Day Birdsong was recorded on Mother's Day and features the incomparable orchestra of Nature. Dedicated to the Mother of us All: Gaia, Earth.
Happy Travels!

Mantra is a sacred sound, word or words which has a specific power or effect. Kirtan is a musical story of spiritual significance usually taking the form of call and response. Both raise the vibration of the performer and listener to sublime levels. As a student of Healing Sound I was blessed to have the opportunity to experience these two forms of mantra - one spoken and one musical - by masters of the craft.

Here's an example of kirtan... Watch...
