"I Love this mesmerizing, peaceful and stunning album by the blissful and wonderful team of Andrew Brel and Richard Niles." Cathy Shostak, Composer Recorded in Laguna Beach in the Summer of 2015, this unique listening experience is a fusion of natural, organic sounds with the most sophisticated digital processing. In a new age ambient style, instrumentation includes nylon and steel string acoustic guitars, acoustic piano, bouzouki, ethnic, percussive wood and bamboo instruments, singing bowls, wave recordings from Laguna Beach after midnight, birdsong and human voices. Inspired by ascended master Krishna Vardu Ghan, Chohan of the 7th ray, whose philosophy of love and kindness, living in the moment and in gratitude, infuses the musical choices on Laguna. Volume 1. Brel and Niles work with sonic frequencies and specific musical intervals designed to increase coherent thought, serenity, expansion and happiness. Neuroscience and psychophysiology have shown that eastern meditation produces high-power ‘alpha waves’. This distinct brain pattern corresponds to the state of relaxed inner wakefulness and is strongest in the pre-frontal cortex—the area of the brain associated with executive judgment. For this reason, Brel and Niles are proud to have produced an experience for the listener that results in an integrated and coherent brain, improved mental performance, memory, comprehension and focus. “Laguna” is subtitled “Music for Wellness and Meditation” But it is also “Music for Success.” Each of the tracks relates to one of the “Seven Keys of Conduct” of Krishna Vardu Ghan. As Niles says, “What attracted me was the down-to-earth pragmatism of Ghan’s teaching. His philosophy did not urge people to renounce the world and sit under a tree. One of his most well-known sayings was, ‘Yes! Meditate… and then get back to work!’” Brel agrees, “By using the current state-of-the art processing along with many years spent learning the recording process, I was able to work with those frequencies known to produce the ‘Alpha State’, restoring neurological balance. The feedback has been tremendous, people telling us that they come away from listening with a supercharged clarity of mind.”
