Instrumental New Age Meditation Track Feature: Allan Susoeff, Jr. (Exastis) -Third Eye: 852 Hz

Allan Susoeff, Jr.’s “Third Eye: 852 Hz” focuses on your perception center. I like to refer to it as the all-knowing voice inside, heightening your self-awareness and allowing you to receive information. Like the aperture of a camera with one sound, the seeing eye is wide open.

As the bell rings, the chimes tingle, the singing bowls echo with a resonant tone, and the acoustic piano begins its sojourn over the softness and flexibility of the synth’s colors.

The orchestrations resemble a choir, with a brief, faint birdsong sound in the background.  As the compositions gather momentum, you feel an energy and strength that gives you the secondary sight —the only thing you can envision.

The realizations of the chakra are in full bloom with this 852Hz frequency. This is five minutes and twenty-one seconds of pure audio bliss, ending as it began, with the bell as its focal point.

Third Eye: 852 Hz:

The third-eye chakra, or Ajna chakra, is the sixth of the seven primary chakras in the body. It is our “perception center,” and is believed to be the seat of the soul and the gateway to higher consciousness. The sixth chakra is also associated with light, clarity, understanding, and spiritual insight. It is typically the focal point of concentration during asana and meditation practices. The Solfeggio Frequency of the 3rd eye chakra is 852 Hz, and the key signature and chord is A Major.

Instrumentation: Piano, Rhodes 88 electric Piano, flute, oboe, synths, pads and strings, singing bowls, chimes

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.

Instrumental New Age Meditation Track Feature: Allan Susoeff, Jr. (Exastis)-Crown: 936 Hz

Allan Susoeff, Jr.’s “Crown” begins with the traditional bell sound to start his meditation experience for the chakras.

Ethereal sounds swirl around, created by various synths. His gorgeous piano sounds are in sync with the flow and energy generated by the 936Hz frequency, a frequency believed to stimulate the pineal gland, which is associated with spiritual awakening and enhanced intuition.

The synths create a spark, sounding like they are taking off into the ether as your mind rests, and your body and spirit accept the path now being taken.

The orchestral sounds of the choir reemerge in this track, creating a beautiful backing as Allan pushes the tempo upward towards heaven and back down to earth. These sounds, reminiscent of a celestial choir, add a transcendent quality to the meditation, enhancing its calming and healing effects.

“Crown” is not just a piece of music; it’s a journey. It’s where we engage with our surroundings and with life, whether it’s nature or another human being. Everything starts in our heads, and from there, depending on the process, our bodies react. The sounds soothe and invite another session of focused energy and healing, making us feel connected and engaged.

Crown: 936 Hz:

The crown chakra is the seventh energy center in the body. Its Sanskrit name is Sahasrara, which means “thousands.”  It gets its name from the lotus flower with a thousand petals. Each petal represents a different aspect of our being, including all our emotions, thoughts, and actions.  It has the Solfeggio frequency of 936 Hz and is played in the key of B Major.

Instrumentation: Piano, harp, synths, pads and strings, singing bowls, timpani, cymbals, chimes

Instrumental New Age Meditation Track Feature: Allan Susoeff, Jr. (Exastis) - Peaceful Return

Allan Susoeff, Jr.’s “Peaceful Return” serves a specific purpose in his meditation exercise. This track is designed to guide the individual who has been using the music and frequencies to open and heal the chakras into a gentle, gradual awakening state, providing a clear and informative transition.

Notably, the beginning is absent of the bell chiming, indicative of a starting point for meditation. The piano begins as other instrumentation is added quickly, including the pan flute, oboe, English horn, clarinet, 1st & 2nd violins, viola, cello, contrabass, synths, pads, and strings. This is in addition to the singing bowl that you have become accustomed to hearing in previous tracks, which have been instrumental in guiding you through the meditation process.

The tempo is quite different in this track as well; it has a more rhythmic base and stronger orchestral movements, which are meant to engage you. These elements are specifically designed to energize the listener and guide them back to the waking state of consciousness.

It is indeed a “Peaceful Return” to consciousness and a most beautiful and healing way to do so.

Peaceful  Return Artist Notes:

Often, a “wake-up” song at the end of meditation is used to gently transition our mind from a state of deep relaxation or focus back to the usual waking state. Its purpose is to help avoid startling your brain, making the transition smoother, and ultimately to reinforce any positive feelings or insights gained from the meditation.  This song is almost entirely orchestral and is explicitly composed to nurture feelings of inner peace and contentment, combining that with the incredible magnificence of our innate human right to claim.

Instrumentation: Piano, pan flute, oboe, English horn, clarinet, 1st & 2nd violins, viola, cello, contrabass, synths, pads and strings, singing bowls, timpani, cymbals, orchestral chimes, crotales, bar chimes.

Contemporary Instrumental Track Feature: Michael Dulin-True North


Michael Dulin’sTrue North” is his music. His solo piano alone carries messages to his listeners.

Everyone has their truth; musicians tend to live it or relive it through music. Heartfelt and spiritual music carries something special with it. As indicated by the cover art's simplicity and definition, this contemporary instrumental piano solo work reflects the artist's journey and the emotions he seeks to convey.

 

The beauty it holds comes through the fingers of a true artisan baring his soul through piano keys.

It is enjoyable to hear and heals simultaneously, offering a soothing balm to the soul. The frequencies and tones will resonate with the human spirit, bringing peace and tranquility.

Track Feature: The Song Gardeners-Garden Vibes

Release Date: September 20, 2024

Label: Honey Spun Records

Website

Listen on Your Preferred Platform

The Song Gardeners have been putting out track after track for years now. "Garden Vibes" is perfect for the two ladies who make this group buzz along (no pun intended).

 For this track, the consistent Corrie Dunn (lead and backing vocals, keys ) and Mary Gospe (background vocals) are joined by the talented collaborators James Bultler (synth, bass, percussion) and David Scheibner (guitars, percussion, synths), whose unique contributions add depth and richness to the song.

The track is wholesome with color and life, something I have come to expect from these talented ladies. The music combines new-age pop and a little funk, with the funk providing that extra spice element, adding a cool summer breeze and energetic feel to the track.

Instrumental New Age Featured Track: Orchestra Indigo-Evening On The Esplanade

Release Date: June 21, 2024

Label: Independent

Website

Orchestra Indigo (Rick Randlett) transformed his career in music from a blues guitarist to an exceptional new-age and ambient artist. He has released three albums over the last few years and is enjoying a renaissance of creativity.

“Evening On The Esplanade” is a track release that will give you a good idea of what to expect from this talented one-person show.

The track is lush, cinematic, and emotional. The distinct sound of the orchestra in the indigo is unmistakable. With a blend of various keys, synths, and computer-generated sounds, Orchestra Indigo creates a captivating wall of sound that resonates like an orchestral gathering of beauty.

Orchestra Indigo’s music has been on the rise for some time now, and I think he has found a home in the new age community. The transition is complete, and we welcome him with open arms, hearts, minds, and, most importantly, our ears.

Track Review: Richard Spasoff-There At Your Side

Richard Spasoff will be "There At Your Side" while you listen. His creative talents are pretty evident with this stand-alone track release. 

While I hear jazz, there is much more going on here. The elements of a new age tenet with a deliberate pace and style are present as well.


The idea is to help you feel safe and secure as you relax or meditate on this mesmerizing track.

This innovative artist has created another recording to look within to find peace.

Track Review: Gizella Firtha And Richard Spasoff-Menagerie

Gizella Firth and Richard Spasoff engage each other on a give and take jazz new age excursion with the piano and saxophone track "Menagerie."


The music will pull in the listener, and you then become the music with the image of the desert floating in your mind's eye. It is a step into your own private "Menagerie."

The interplay of the two artists is progressive and picturesque yet relaxing and thoughtful.


Give it one listen, and you will be hooked.

Track Review: Richard Spasoff and Gizella Firtha-Alphabet Soup

What kind of music are you in the mood for? When you know the track's title is "Alphabet Soup," you would expect some variety.

However, that you will get, it may classify as contemporary instrumental, progressive classical, or new age with a certain flair and tasteful ambiance.

Richard Spasoff's tinkling piano and Gizella Firtha's cello (co-composers) make for some exciting and thought-provoking sounds. You decide what to call it, but above all, click play and enjoy the listen!

Track Review: Carl Borden-Good Morning Light (Summer Song Flight) Track Review

Release Date: August 27, 2021

Label:  ‎myndstream

Website

“Good Morning Light” from the Summer Song Flight release on the myndstream label, is Carl Borden’s new featured track.

Carl provides a vista of colors and sound through his ambient recordings. This particular single is focused on the sounds of nature in the form of birds chirping.
 
The beam of light going straight down from the moon through the sun-bleached clouds to civilization below is a significant image. If you are listening to the layered sounds of Carl’s synth it fits together nicely.


“Good Morning Light” is 5 minutes and 30 seconds of synthesized bliss from one of the more creative artists in the new age instrumental genre.

This is great music for relaxing and or meditation which is the music of focus in the myndstream label.
