Tonal Alchemy Reviews
This is more for the spiritual type person, who is into healing, or meditation, and or spiritual advancement. I just want you to understand, this is not what most people call "music". (If you don't already know, sound and colors are also used as healing modalities).
So, crack out the crystals, light the candles, and put on this CD. If you don't know what I'm talking about, this is probably not for you. Better yet, make a crystal grid. First of all, anything I have purchased by Steven Halpern has been great. That, to me, is beyond cool. This CD is also about using sound to heal (self and others).
This is a great CD and certainly unique. There are 17 tracks, totalling a hair under 1 hour and 7 minutes, certainly ample time to let it run during a Reiki session or meditation. This vibration is awesome. "Tonal Alchemy" also begins with a unique recording made inside the Great Pyramid in Egypt. Oh, and we have gongs and "OM" chanting, too.
It also makes a great gift for anyone you know who is into these types of alternate therapies. This is the type of music that you would play during a Reiki energy-healing session, or something similar. This is a "vibration thing," like a clear your mind and connect your chakras and feel your head vibrate type CD. There is chanting, to Tibetan and Japanese temple bowls to Tibetan bells to harmonic keyboard vibrational sounds. On the other hand, if you DO understand what I'm saying, this is a good one and different.
It is also great for meditation. It's hard for me to really describe this CD, because most "normal" people would probably not "get it".
I was looking for something like Tintinabulation, which involves bells from temples. Takahashi flutes, drums, crystal bowls, as well as temple bells are played with each segment of the recording having a slightly different tonal character and texture. This is not just New Age musicwhich I also likeit's actually intended for those who want to create an environment conductive to meditation.
Halpern's work is even more arresting than Tintinabulation. I'm very pleased. I plan on giving a copy to several friends.
Superb. I find that I can select the recording I feel comfortable with and put it on replay while attempting meditation and it truly does help me concentrate. Rather than the continuous resonance of bells, his pieces are more varied.
I've tried meditation and self hypnosis techniques for yearsnot well, but at least making the effort.but I've never found music that I felt really encouraged the practice or helped expand my potential.
if you buy it you will like it. track #9 features a gong being hit three times. I purchased this CD at the bookstore it features ancient tibetan & Japenese bowls. this is a great introduction to far east asia music.
As a long-time fan of Steven Halpern, this is one of his best projects yet. It is a great meditation tool.you can OM away with the surrealistic sounds. If you are a fan of Tibetan signing bowls, then this is the CD for you. I have most of his CD's; you can't beat him for relaxing, smooth, meditative music.I always, always fall asleep before the CD is over.
I fall asleep each night to the beautiful sounds of Steven Halpern. As an example, on cut #17, there is total silence for several minutes and then Whoops. His music puts you in a totally beautiful, spiritual, sublime place. My only criticism would be that on occasion, between cuts, there is a long empty silence when you're not exactly sure if the CD is over yet.
you hear the faint meditative sounds.then total silence again.
