10.Inspired from his experiences in Greece after many years of living there.Delicate flutes and distant chimes enfold an angelic voice of tranquil and mysterious purity.Not since Enya has there been such radiant clarity, with Celtic vocals joining with Terry's flute to elevate the spirit.India,with light percussion, shamanic drums and soft
keyboards.MEDWYN and TERRY OLDFIELD have joined forces for the first time ever to perform together.Recorded in 11 recording studio's across the world including Australia, England, Sweden, Poland, and the Czech Republic, never before has there been such a gathering of artists composing and performing original material together on an album.It has been an incredible technical and musical journey.Imogen entice you deep beneath the surface, where whalesong provides an emotive counterpoint for a haunting lyrical plea.Reflections is the ideal introduction to the music of Terry Oldfield.Inspired by the many lands and cultures he has visited and a love of nature, Terry's music will take you on a journey from Tibet to Africa, exploring the oceans and rainforests on the way.Albums featured : Spirit of India, Out of the Depths, Australia, Icon, Zen, Cascade, Illumination, Spirit of Africa, Spirit of Tibet, Reverence and Spirit of the Rainforest.Terry Oldfield created REIKI HARMONY with the goal of providing an hour of gentle, nurturing music that would enhance a session of holistic therapy, such as Reiki or massage.The album consists of five tracks, each over ten minutes in length, that ebb and flow with soothing synthesizer atmosphere, piano, crystal bowls and (most notably) the bamboo flute, a specialty of Oldfield's.Oldfield's flute prominently alongside mild drone instruments, nature sounds and chimes.It sparkles and triumphs with a vibrancy that is the true radiance of the Spirit of the Rainforest.With his newest release, Emmy nominated composer and musician Terry Oldfield pays tribute to many of the ancient cultures that have served as the foundation of our beliefs and understanding.It combines the deep resonance of the bamboo flute and the sweet trill of the ocarina with beautiful, echoing vocals and irresistible melodies, perfectly capturing the spirit of these wise and noble peoples and perfectly capturing the SPIRIT OF THE WORLD.Terry Oldfield's journeys with the flute have taken him in many directions, allowing him to sample many different cultures.Set against gentle nature ambience (bubbling water, birdsong, crickets), Oldfield constructs a tapestry of airy winds, cello, harp, guitar and synthesized atmosphere that fills the listener with quietude and aids in the release of tension.Turning Point was inspired by those early voyagers who were ready to leave behind everything familiar and sail through the oceans of peril into the great unknown.Writing this music just happened to coincide with a major transition in my own life, and it has been a new and exciting journey for me through some strange and wild waters.The bansuri flute has to be one of the most introspective instruments in existence; its pure tones are the very essence of tranquility.On Terry Oldfield's YOGA HARMONY, the bansuri flute is commingled with a subtle blend of instrumental textures, which include the sitar, tanpura, synthesizer mood and the enchanting twinkle of Tibetan temple bells.As such, they work well for activities that involve focus and clarity, like yoga (hence, the title), tai chi or mindfulness practices.Thank you
Terry
