A COMPOSITION IN THE EARTH BASED KEY OF OHM
THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE OHM VOL.2 is an ambient tribute and celebration of the
natural world. Listen as the African kora summons a lush feeling of drops of
light after a rain, while the warmth of the harmonica, the soulfulness of the
Middle Eastern oud, and the earthiness of the didgeridoo and the Native American
flute all, in turn, harmonize with sounds from the natural world, crickets,
whales, a mourning dove...as a subtly textured wave of sound, the Ohm drone
carries and lifts each featured instrument. This interweaving of natural and
animal sounds creates an unhurried dialogue between wind and string instruments,
and the earth sounds that inspired their voice.
The Music on this CD reflects the healing resonance of nature and the earth tone
of Ohm. In the 17th century, astronomer Johannes Kepler realized that planets
have elliptical orbits. This gave basis for the modern calculation of planetary
orbits and their associated musical tones or frequencies. Because the Ohm tone
is based on the measured frequency of the elliptical orbit of the Earth as it
travels around the sun through four seasons, we consider Ohm our Musical Center
of Gravity. Resonating with the earth tone of Ohm is grounding, centering and
energizing; it creates a feeling of spaciousness in your body and psyche,
releasing stress and tension.
