Whale Meditation
Kamal



Renowned musician and producer Kamal is a thoroughly established New Age artist with a distinct style and sound who has more than a quarter of a million CD sales to
his credit.

Trained as a classical guitarist, he expanded his studies into the worlds of jazz and rock until the early 80s when he began experimenting with synthesizers and sequencers.
Drawing much of his inspiration from the environment, he frequently uses the natural sounds of the Earth and its many inhabitants as primary sounds and themes in his
compositions and arrangements.

Kamal's New Earth releases, Reiki Whale Dreaming, Reiki Whale Song and Quiet Earth are prime examples of his keen sense of tonality and ability to meld the essential sounds of
the Earth with man-made instruments and melodies.

A German native, Kamal now lives in Australia where he not only works on his own music, but also works as a sound engineer and producer. He was recently awarded the prestigious Dolphin Award for the Best New Age/Ambient Song for his "Enchanted World" from Reiki Whale Song.

Review
I love this album. Clearly, Kamal understands that whale music
needs no hype, no glitz – like the work of any great musician,
it speaks far better for itself than any spin master could
ever achieve.

The point is to start at your #1 Overall Top Artist, don't include in the list, and then follow the similar artists steps to find out where you went 50 steps down the line. You were to use the 1st similar artist unless it was already on your list, if it was you used the second, if that was the third....You get the point...No repetition or you'd just go in circles.

“Kamal is a dream-weaver.
His musical images conjure strange and beautiful inner landscapes that slowly move and transform, like drifting summer clouds appearing out of nothing that grow into something fantastic, transform into the unexpected, and vanish like mirages, leaving behind a more still mind, a more relaxed body, and lingering images of quiet earth.”
Honey Harris, KBAC Radio

“Kamal’s ‘The Quiet Earth’ does not fit easily into one genre. When you buy a Kamal album, you know exactly what you’re getting!
This is one of the best CDs I have heard through to the end. The Tides Of Time pretty much defines how I feel spiritually. Meeresleuchten.
This one is what it is: a powerful, primal invitation to love.”
Seren Morris, Art Therapist


Review from DailyOM May 29, 2008:
1993 Unpretentious, naturalist, and starkly transcendent, Australian composer Kamal's instrumental albums have been quietly moving listeners for decades. Suitable for everything from the holistic healing table to the beach on a sunny day or driving home into a blazing sunset, Kamal's music works from the inside out, bypassing your conscious mind altogether, speaking the subliminal language of the unconscious, where nature, earth, sky, and man's soul are as intertwined as the roots of a big oak tree. Originally released in 1993, Quiet Earth is a gently coasting series of glistening ambient works˜recalling the early minimalist work of Brian Eno and Harold Budd˜with smooth glaciers of synthesizers gradually drifting into sunny vistas of flutes and chimes. Probably best known for his work with whale song, here Kamal takes what he's learned from their sonic explorations, creating soundscapes of such organic fluidity that they same less composed than recorded in the field and by! ears attuned to the deeply subliminal messages of the earth.

A student of harmonics and organic pitches, Kamal's music has inarguable power. You don't remember quite when you started to fall under its sway. A few minutes in and your heart may have slowed and your breathing relaxed as the rhythms and harmonics of the earth bring your nervous system away from the grind of civilization and back to the mellow perfection of nature. The title track is a fine example; gradually coalescing in and out of a series of chimes, the cycles of ambient synthesizer mimic the gentle spray of water against rocks, the circling of birds, the slow ripples along the surface, barely marring the perfect image of the sky reflected with its clear-blue emptiness and fast-moving clouds.

The Tides of Time builds from a slowly cycling chime arpeggio and eventually morphs into the breathtaking, full melodic vista of Healing, (an extra track, rich in strings and shooting-star synths, not on the original 1993 album). The fifth track, Meeresleuchten (German for shine of the sea) wraps things up in a nice, bubbly package. The clouds we've been gliding on all through the album at last coalesce into rain falling back into the ocean. Misty spray washes through the nerve-soothing chime cascades, and every last bit of stress evaporates in the rainbow above. Calm, relaxed, and renewed, we return to the place from which we came, ready for more of that day-to-day human grind, knowing Kamal is always there to slowly, patiently bring us home again.

Album description:
Yoga & Pilates by the Sea CD is mixed by Certified Yoga Pilates teacher Rhonda Comparin. Rhonda has 15 years’ teaching experience and specializes in both Yoga and Pilates, teaching classes such as Power Yoga and Yogalattés, and has been mixing her own class music mixes just as long. Her classes are unique with mixes
that are not just background music, they are arranged to guide mind body and breathe in harmony through out a class format.
Yoga & Pilates by the Sea CD is designed to flow with Vinyasa Yoga and Pilates classes--a re-energizing, invigorating mind-body dance. Begin the journey with soothing sounds that allow the mind to quiet. Awakened awareness shifts to the breath and attention centers inside, becoming fully alive in the present moment with mind, body and spirit in one, grounded in peaceful acceptance with purpose to flow. Warm up with tones to tune in and prepare the body for the practice. Continue into the Solar Energy and Lunar portion of class, tapping the tapas (internal heat) with tidal rhythms to breathe through Vinyasas and/or
Pilates sequences. Different beats within the music guide the mind and body to respond in harmony and grace through the repetitions in a Pilates sequence, Vinyasa Sun Salutations, as well as maintaining stability in balancing poses and surrender in tension-releasing poses. Slowing in serene sounds, final reward comes with complete contentment and bliss in Shavasana.
