"Celestial Temple" is the focus track of the latest installment from Rasamayi and Paradiso. It is exactly what it claims to be. The title is very descriptive and when you hear the music or view the video the effect and purpose is transcendental.
The end result is achieved through the sounds and music that this duo create. Using unconventional instruments such as the Didgeridoo certainly presents a challenge, however they make it sound so natural and flowing with their presentation.
I highly recommend listening and viewing the video to get the full meaning and effect of this music. Welcome to the temple of the soul through Celestial Resonance.
New Age music artists Paradiso and Rasamayi have devoted
their musical careers to developing sound for the purpose of energy enhancement
and healing. Their newest album Celestial
Resonance does just that. Using world music, sounds of nature and a
multitude of instruments, their sound weaves into a seamless blend to spur the
listener’s relaxation.
“Love’s Repose” was like being in a cathedral. Open and
airy, but filled with much thought and emotion, this song is truly beautiful.
Ambient music paves the way for breathless female vocals and the buzzing
texture of world music sounds. This is the world as defined by a celestial
being. Not just one religion, but many. We are all people. A pebble dropped
into the ocean of the living. Deep and wide. Poignant and full of longing. With
expert artistry, this piece reaches out to the dormant parts in all of us that
fall into human traps of disregard for others suffering and instead teaches us
to instead reach for joy. The sound of water cleanses us whole and leads us to a
new beginning.
“The Growing Light” brings bells and the promise of
newness. A heavenly awakening with the crispness of early morning and the wet
kiss of dew in the pale sunlight. Chimes whisper on the breeze, tinkling their
delight at the hum of voices just out of range. The ambient occurrence of a
presence watching with benevolent joy. We are awakening to what we will become.
Joy. Love. Bright and shiny with newness and positive thoughts. Each gong of
the bell proclaims a rebirth and a promise of a brighter path ahead.
“Infinite Resonance” is water and essence of the sea. The
tides come and go and with it the circle of life. Fluid world music joins the
ocean sounds and they are both joined by chanting vocalizations that reminded
me of angels singing to the dawn. A woodwind instrument calls out the morning’s
majesty as the holy light of the infinite shines down upon us all. The music
swirls in a sometimes brooding resonance that speaks to the patterns of life.
You must know dark to recognize the light. To live through the trials to see
the victories. To love and be loved. For this is life. This is awakening.
This album is a tapestry of world music, New Age and
nature sounds all wrapped up in a neat little package. It incorporates vocals
and instruments of all kinds paired with ambient sounds. Each track presents a
story. A path to peace and healing. Some with a buzzing resonance and others
without. Those were my favorite. This album is a good choice if you want
something to get you away from the world for a little while. So grab yourself
some green tea and settle in for a relaxing listen. You may find yourself
hitting the play button again on this one.
