This is ambient music at its best. Original and fresh with a world music flavour, there’s not a single hint of cheesy cliché or overdone production here, pitfalls that can be rampant in this genre of music.

Embrace the Moment comprises six instrumental tracks that ebb and flow to a full 80 minutes of blissed-out sound.

Its subtlety and seamlessness make it ideal for yoga and other practices that require a certain level of groundedness and concentration. It ambles along inconspicuously in the background, gentle, calming, and uplifting, without being distracting. Continue Reading »

Didgera are a couple of groovers from the land Down Under who create awesome electronic and acoustic world music with a uniquely Australian flavour.

On this, their self-titled album, they’ve managed to capture the essence of the ‘wide brown land’ through a series of panoramic soundscapes that take you on a kaleidoscopic aural journey through stark landscapes, steamy jungles, expansive coastlines and deep into the ancient sacred earth.

Didgera’s deep grooves can at times sound as tribal and earthy as the expansive red Australian desert, rattling your bones with rhythmic intensity. Other times the music travels to a jazzier tune, with a dancey world music vibe that would be totally at home in a funky beach bar in Spain. If you love the Ibiza-born Cafe del Mar compilations, or the similarly chilled sounds of Buddha Bar and Trance Planet, you’ll have Didgera playing on high rotation after just one listen.

Art that takes you into space.

Nicole Mizoguchi’s visionary artwork presented with Hubble inspired soundtrack music.

http://www.nicolemiz.com – A truly breathtaking art form born of the traveling soul. An afro-american woman living in Japan that travels to other planets like Jodie Foster in “Contact” and returns with holiday pics in the form of pastel impressionistic visions.

What do you do when you have had a hard day full of stress and pressures?

I settle down into my big comfortable armchair letting waves of tranquility roll over my soul, washing away a hard day from my tired body and tired mind as I listen to a very special, hauntingly beautiful album -  Lunar Khandro.

If ever there was music to go with the eternal dance of the infinite cosmos or just to have in the background as you picnic at the Sea of Tranquility on the moon, this is it.

This 6 minute video combines spacious music from the album “Lunar Khandro”, beautiful landscape images from around the world, and quotes from some of our greatest philosophers, saints, thinkers and doers.

Take a moment right here to be still and soak up the intention of peace and goodwill within this movie experience. Enjoy!

These are some of the best and grandest images we could find of space and nebulas taken by the Hubble Space Telescope. Its primary advantage as a telescope is that it sees the heavens without the distortion of the earths atmosphere.

This three and a half minute video displays some of the more spectacular imagery taken by this awesome piece of engineering.

Thank you to Nasa.gov and Hubblesite.org for the images.

The beautiful, lilting music was composed by Jai Larkan and comes from the album “Where To Land”.

This panorama was created in an awesome program called Artmatic Voyager on Mac OS X. Aptly named as it does take you on a journey into new alien worlds.
