Memories of Home brings music in special tunings from ancient Mesopotamia. It is music which will open your heart and heal your soul as you take a journey to a distant place in your memory which you know as home. Now, wisdom of the ancients comes to our modern times, as knowledge of the powerful effects of sound on the human body is being rediscovered. The music on Memories of Home is based on tunings that are different than those used in most Western music. The first thing one notices is that it feels different. It feels calmer, more peaceful, and more whole - almost as though a memory of something is being evoked. Indeed, this music can help restore and enhance physical, emotional and spiritual balance. It can also shift our consciousness to wonderful new levels of awareness which, again, seem somehow familiar. The oldest musical tunings known in the world come from the extraordinary and mysterious Sumerian civilization that had flowered by 3500 BC. Unlike any modern Western music, these tunings have unexpected beauty and powers - a kind of music that we have completely forgotten. Rediscover the powerful effects music can have within us: the power to relax us, to lead us into peaceful meditation, to induce beautiful emotional states and to gently drop us into altered states of consciousness that can open our inner realms. Played with modern instrument timbers - piano, guitar, strings, evocative synth sounds - the music is familiar, yet may be unlike any music you have heard before.
