Chinmaya Dunster - Feng Shui

This music by acclaimed musician, Chinmaya Dunster, blends sacred sounds from the Buddhist lands of the East with acoustic instruments from around the world: the sarod and santoor from India, and the harp, flute and guitar from the Celtic regions. Melodious and easily accesible, the music aims to evoke the inner Feng Shui – known to Buddhists as the Eightfold path – the essence of which brings transformation to our inner world. Descriptions of the eight aspects of the Path are included with the CD as well as a practical guide to using each associated track of music to bring these aspects into harmony within us. ~taobook.com

Personnel includes: Chinmaya Dunster (guitar, sarod, harp, keyboards, bass, percussion); Sambodhi Prem (guitar); Alistair Cooper (dulcimer, frame drum); Don Lax (violin); Shastro, John Zagando (flute); Kevin O'Kennedy (pennywhistle). The design elements of Feng Shui, which are said to relieve blocked energies and bring good fortune, take on a musical life here. As he has on other albums geared for healing, Chinmaya Dunster has created a broadly Eastern flavor with the use of his beloved sarod (a 19-stringed classical Indian instrument), flutes, acoustic guitar, and percussion. These pieces achieve what they set out to do, enveloping the listener in tones that are upbeat, optimistic, benign, and peaceful. ~cduniverse.com
