| | Ravi Shankar Sounds Of India CD Ravi Shankar Discography of CDs
Shankar introduces each track with an explanation of the elements of Indian classical music, including the raga, microtones, drone, and various talas, or rhythmic cycles. The second track, "Dadra," carries a six-beat structure--unusual for Shankar--and its light, playful feel will be familiar to fans of older Bollywood film music. An excellent primer for Indian music enthusiasts.
Although THE SOUNDS OF INDIA was recorded in 1973, years after Ravi Shankar had established himself in the West, it is unusual in that here he finally chooses to explain himself to his listeners--perhaps a recognition that Indian music's faddish appeal was wavering and that a serious exposition was in order.
Personnel: Ravi Shankar (spoken vocals, sitar); Chatur Lal (tabla); N.C. Mullick (tambura).

Loreena McKennitt began her career as a New Age pop chanteuse, steeped in Celtic folk mysticism and possessed of an airy, ethereal voice. Over the course of her career she has dabbled to varying extremes in the pop format, but she remains true to the spirit of the traditional balladeer on THE BOOK OF SECRETS. With the aid of top-flight musicians like Danny Thompson and David Rhodes, she weaves a web of fanciful, wispy folk-rock that's not afraid to be beautiful as it pulls listeners in with it's comforting hypnotic qualities.

THE SOUNDPATH STORY - (scroll down for biography)I had always longed to make a recording of my own music. Born to two opera singers, and having performed for many years as a dancer and singer with the Meredith Monk Vocal Ensemble and the Laura Dean Dancers and Musicians, I had been seen and heard primarily as a performer of other people's work. I had not yet found my own voice, so to speak. I complained to my dear friend and colleague, Sonya Shannon, also an artist. She looked me squarely in the soul and declared that I had to sing. She insisted that I rent time at a recording studio one hour per week as if I were in therapy. I decided to do it and see what would emerge. Sonya accompanied me to the first couple of sessions as my artistic midwife, bringing her sketchpad and journal. I brought my violin and my pounding heart and let it roll. Sound engineer and musician, John Guth, quietly recorded my journey, capturing every impulse, melody, and meditation in sound.I felt great! I now had the technology and the moral support I needed. I was granted help, despite my usual resistance to asking for it. Within a few sessions, I became aware that I was experiencing something quite new and profound: showing up for myself and being fully present.I wanted more of this experience, and I wanted to hear another layer of sound. I remembered that a fellow musician, Bill Ruyle, had moved to my hometown the prior year. I hadn't talked to him in more than a decade. I decided to call him out of the blue. "Bill," I said, "how would you like to go into the sound studio with me and improvise." To my delight, he said, "Sure." Without any rehearsal or planning, we showed up on the specified day and simply began. From a few resonant beats of the tabla and melodic strikes of the marimba, a sound world began to unfold, a world into which I stepped with all my senses alive and attuned, journeying on waves that poured forth from my heart and soul. I was alive!Here was a new sense of joy! It was time to share this experience. At first, I invited a small handful of buddies to a friend's living room for a private performance. With increased conviction, I also increased my audience. The next two performances took place at my home and then at a magnificent salon overlooking the Hudson River. Each of these live performances was recorded by John Guth.While the events were planned, the music that emerged was wholly spontaneous. And from these recorded musical meditations, I selected nine tracks that now appear on my first self-produced CD, SoundPath. Although I have sung on other compact discs, this experience was different. SoundPath brings forth the Song in my heart, the Voice of my soul, born of inevitability not design.Once the CD became a reality, I was eager to share it with everyone. Listeners began to reflect their experiences of this music back to me. "It takes me on a journey." "Beyond Enya!" "I play this during meditation." "Very soothing." "WOW! What magic. The sounds surely altered my cells and shifted my vibration." "I just wanted more." What I have learned from people's responses is that SoundPath creates experiences and possibilities beyond what I might have imagined.* * *Naaz Hosseini is a singer, dancer, violinist, psychotherapist, and voice healer.

"...It's good stuff... ["Far Gone EP"] by local singer-songwriter Alex Pfundt has the feel of the bonus tracks you'll find included on CD versions of Elvis Costello's debut, 'My Aim is True.'" -Aaron Jentzen, Pittsburgh City PaperFor Alex Pfundt (pronounced Funt), music has always been a necessity. Born and raised just outside of Philadelphia, Alex’s relationship with music started at age 5, upon discovering a ukulele in his father’s office. In grade school, he began studying classical clarinet and joined the school band. Then in his teens, when forced to audition for his high school choir, Alex discovered that despite hating choir, he could actually sing. At that point, Alex abandoned the clarinet, picked up guitar, and began writing songs.Alex then moved ...
