Why Music Sticks In Our Mind

01

See: Why Music Sticks In Our Mind.
For me, music sticks in my mind when I analyse it, either whilst auditioning new music here or listening to an old track I the car, as I listen to the different layers, the instruments, melodies and arrangement I find days later it comes back to me, like some deep rooted echo of my Brainwaves.

New Music & Artists For Autumn 2011

Posted: November 2011 in New Royalty Free Music & New Artists
18

Well its been a long year with loads happening here. I wonder where to start with such a lot of great new music coming on board.

Firstly I would like to list some of the guys coming on board but make you aware we have more artists who arent as well matched to what we do here at Ambient Music Garden. So they are announced at our sister site: .

First off:

Harry Henshaw brings us some very popular relaxation tracks along with affirmation mixes as well. I am really pleased and excited about getting some affirmation tracks at last. Its been on the list to do for a long time.

Chris Breemer provides us with our introduction into classical piano music. Chris’s tracks are live recordings of the classics and we are very proud to have Chris’s library here. He is a prolific and very gifted pianist.

Awaken Serenity

Posted: October 2010 in New Royalty Free Music & New Artists
11

I am proud to introduce Awaken Serenity to Ambient Music Garden. Morwenna who composes and produces all the Awaken Serenity music has supplied us with a great collection of music this season. Not only do we have some fabulous ambient relaxation pieces but also has contributed greatly to the new royalty free background music collections being put together over at Background Music Library. More from Background Music Library soon when we launch background music collections for business environments.

Anyway, back to Awaken Serenity. The music available today at the Awaken Serenity’s artist page includes a full relaxation album named Light Years, a collection of ambient pieces (some of which are also on the Light Years album) and also a number of long playing ambient meditation pieces great for use in healing and therapy.

With all Awaken Serenity music expect acoustic sounds mixed with subtle voice chior and nature sounds such as water and bird sounds. Therapy and healing rooms can gain a lot to their ambience by enveloping their clients into a safe and secure environment that has Awaken Serenity’s music subtly played continuously in the background. With the long playing tracks clients get a consistent background ambience. With natural sounds they will feel connected with nature and the purity of life less complicated and mechanized. A space for escape from the challenging world we find ourselves in today.

Check out Awaken Serenity at the artist’s page here.

Two Great New Artists

01

Astropilot and Sacred Reason join Ambient Music Garden this month. Wow, such a great couple of albums they have. More later, but for now here are some of my thoughts.

Royalty Free Music By Astropilot

Royalty Free Music By Astropilot

Astropilot’s Solar Walk is unsuprisingly spacey in outlook and there is a richness in the composition and arrangement that helps one slip into a dreamy state of floating amongst the stars.

Soul Splinters

Soul Splinters


Sacral Reason’s Soul Splinters mixes ambient with piano melodies and field recordings to make a personal mark in our instrumental catalogue.

More to come soon.

What’s on my playlist today

12


Arc from Ishq. Since meeting Ishq I have been stunned at the gorgousness of his work. Clearly he has taken a long time producing his pieces so we are fortunate to have his work here. At present I am listening to Arc. Deep relaxation sounds, perfect for meditation. His compositons are rich in depth and really take you away to another place.

Nomad: again a wonderful DVD background, building & swelling sounds and beats.


I am also listening to Bhakti from Orchid. Oh wow. Not for relaxation perhaps, but has a depth of composition and sound layering that is simply beautiful. Superb for giving a great ‘feel good’ vibe to backgrounds of websites and DVDs.

Project Divinity
Here’s a track from Project Divinity that comes to mind. Floating. Gentle sounds and piano float across a soothing pulsing chord layer. Gorgeous. Check it out.

James Walker
A new guy here offering up his EP of three tracks. All gentle compositions with melody in the foreground but not in your face.

New guy Matthew Baute wakes us up to a gentle accoustic composition in Road To Clarity from the Harmony & Balance album.

More from Dan Pound. Motion Of The Stars comes from Dan’s prolific hand and continues in his style of dark but relaxing productions. A bit like dark chocolate, but not too dark !

Dan’s darkness works well in this concept of the night sky and stars twinkling within it.

Carl Matthews enters the top page this month with a collection of tracks that are contemporary and chilled. Perfect for sophisticated relaxed environments such as restaurants as we as the backing to CD audios and DVDs.

In the backgrounds of cafes and restaurants everyone will stop and ask who they are listening to. Listen to FiatLux to hear what I mean.

Now, I am missing some album art here but will be back to add them soon.

Next is Valgoldsack & our great find that you guys are clearly hooked on already, Jim
Butler !

Take care all.

Peace
Guy

Music Within Therapy Part 1

10

Music Within Therapy Part 1

This page is intented to give you some ideas of how to use music within your therapy.

Music as we all know can guide our feelings and moods. F4b music is new and unheard that has a combination of sounds that sooth and calm and will enhance any therapeutic journey.

If you are a therapist looking for music for therapy the best thing to look for to start with is music that matches the duration of your therapy so you dont have to stop the therapy session to change tracks or have empty gaps that will have your client wondering what will happen next.

Also, consider using a 5 to 10 minute track for introductions and talking to your client when he or she enters your therapy room and takes some time to relax and talk to you about how they are, if they are an existing client, or talk to you for perhaps longer if they are a new client coming for their evaluation session.

Then for the session, choose a piece that is exactly the same length as your session, or longer if you are happy to turn down the volume when you choose to finish. You may choose a longer length piece to enable you to work with your client in a less structured way, enabling you to have the option of continuing with them for as long as you feel is right for that session.

The exact length pieces you choose will be more useful as you set out a session plan that is structured around 30 or 40 minute therapy lengths.

The additional benefit of music to support you through this timed therapy is that it will help you keep track of time.

Look additionally for pieces of music that have a time marker on them, for example a bell chime every 5 minutes that helps you to keep track of time but also move onto another part of your therapy process.

Additionally, a more distinct chime or other sound (but still subtle and in keeping with the music and the therapy session) would aid you with confirming the last part of your therapy is coming up so that you can begin to raise your client out of the session and begin to connect with their surroundings again.

In part 2 I will talk about sound design and composition.

F4b Changes its Name to Ambient Music Garden

12
Hi! we have a new name! For a while now we’ve been pondering the need (or not) to change our name to something that better reflects us. Ambient Music Garden does just that. We will continue to focus on ambient music and its use in therapy and for ambient fans. The ‘garden’ bit? well, gardens are a place of tranquility and relaxation so we felt this created an atmosphere of peace that we aim to continue to portray within our music community here at Ambient Music Garden. Let us know what you think.
New Ambient & Chill-out Artists For Winter 2007. Mild as it is here in the South West of the UK its time to batten down the hatches for the winter and warm ourselves up by the fire. To help us is our community of artist plus some new guys I would like to welcome below:
Mel: Native to Britain but located in Austria Mel has created a collection of Chakra inspired ambient pieces which will be great for chakra lead therapies. This work has already been proven and worked well with therapists and it has been used within a film.
Red Robin: RR joins and offers up an atmospheric flute track that is perfect for escaping to a fantasy world for relaxation and would do wonders within a therapeutic environment .
Graphite: From Romania provides a mix of piano ambient with a hint of Ibiza.
Dreamscapes: From Canada offers up his first solo work. Read More about Dreamscapes in his artist page.
Asoma: Also from Canada and providing a wide range of albums for relaxation and therapy from a solar powered studio.
Paul Adams. Paul provides us with a range of new acoustic ambient albums sprinkled with emotive electronic pads. This month we launch his ambient flavoured Christmas album. More to come in 2008.
David Hoffman. Dave, who also creates with Paul offers up his Christmas album which is loosely describable as down-tempo but with influences of jazz too. Less ambient, more relaxing. give it a spin.
We also have new music from:
Heavencorn: New ambient music from the heart of Latvia. Sonic layers of synth pads and vocals.

lazy Hammock: Lazy has a new Yoga inspired album for us!! we are privilidged to have LH’s album here and all the tracks have a 30 second sample for you to listen to. LH’s new album, Lost In Dreams is classic Chill-Out Downtempo and provides the feel of warm summer eves that will warm your limbs up as you meditate and go through your yogic routines.
Sagar: We have a selection of new acoustic pieces from Sagar here too. Beautiful ambient pieces from Sagar’s new album Graveyard Shift sold individually.

Happy Christmas everyone! thank you for reading and we hope to see you back at Ambient Music Garden in the new year.
