Track Feature: Contemporary Ambient Instrumental-Extasis-Allan Susoeff, Jr. - One and Only

Extasis - Allan Susoeff, Jr. decided to take his music in another direction on the “One and Only” track release. Moving away from his meditation releases into the world of Contemporary Ambient Instrumental. However, I would consider it a valued tool for relaxation or meditation.

The music is inspired by some memorable moments in time shared with another in a beautiful setting. It’s about believing in yourself and knowing you deserve to enjoy these moments and the memories you’ll hold on to.

The instruments utilized for this contemporary instrumental are: Piano, Synths & Pads, Violin, Viola, Cello, Contrabass, Piccolo, Flute, Oboe, English Horn, Clarinet, Trumpet, Crotales, Cymbals.

The keyboards are the main instrument, and all the color and drama those keys create is fully realized on the track. The layers of piano and synth form the foundation for the other instruments to join in and accentuate the meaning and feelings pouring through the creator’s fingers.

I was moved emotionally by this music, and knowing what it meant to the artist was a springboard for appreciating the impetus for its beginnings and how it flourished from a life-changing event. It was a special moment frozen in time by the music and will now live forever for all who take the time to listen.

Just two short weeks after the release of his first album, Extasis, in 2019, Allan experienced another quantum leap in life: a heart attack. He emerged from his double bypass surgery with a newfound appreciation for music. The intricacies of instrumental collaborations alone gave Allan new meaning in the art of creating music. Since then, his focus has been solely on instrumental music that is not only ambient but also uplifting and positively empowering.

Track Feature: Contemporary Ambient Instrumental - Orchestra Indigo-Walking Among Ghosts

Rick Randlett’s musical journey is a testament to the power of reinvention. After a lifetime dedicated to blues guitar, he has boldly ventured into the realm of ambient new age music, leaving a trail of significant recordings in his wake. His latest offering, the single “Walking Among Ghosts,” is a testament to his artistic evolution.

The track is layered with synths and piano, creating a dreamy and stunning soundtrack. The music fits the title like a well-worn shoe. The word 'ghosts' can evoke many thoughts, and in this context, it represents the intangible memories and emotions that linger in our lives. The music captures the essence of 'walking among ghosts', evoking a sense of nostalgia and introspection.

"Walking Among Ghosts" is a musical exploration of the unseen entities that linger in our lives. We all have our ghosts, whether they are echoes of the past or the spirits of our loved ones. This music, with its soft instrumentation and gentle crescendo, provides a comforting embrace for the listener, acknowledging the universal experience of these intangible presences. 

Rick Randlett sounds like he is on his way to producing yet another recording that will help all listeners relax and heal through his music. If you enjoy ambient instrumental music with a New Age feel, you will love this music.

For the past twenty years, Rick has taught music privately and performed and recorded as a Blues Rock artist.  He has released five CDs of all original songs.  

Rick's larger-scale compositions tend to be minimalistic, neo-impressionist works that are always designed to evoke emotions.
