At The Edge of Space is the recently released
recording featuring 12 tracks.
The music presented is atmospheric, ambient, and, at times,
drone-like, which I picked up on with the title track. All of it is
instrumental World-New Age. One of the most moving features of Ross's music is
the ability to get an echoing effect, which then makes it sound like more than
one person is playing.
On "Reaching
For You," parts of the track sound like a bird calling out to the flock.
It aligns well with the typical earth tones and connection with nature that the
Native American Flute has. It is, for me, the essence of the flute's sound and
purpose.
This music's emphasis is to provide tremendous relaxation and a
meditative effect. The utilization of the flute reaches its highest total
capacity by Russ. It allows a listener to disengage from their current space
and or state of mind. That allows a complete detachment of one's surroundings
on the physical plane. You then are offered total focus on what you hear and
become very aware of where it can take you. That is a powerful and healing
exercise from my point of view and how it worked for me.
I understand that everyone is an individual with different
needs; however, if you give this collection of tracks an opportunity, it can
and will change you in some way. I know meditation takes time and practice.
Indeed, what is most impressive is that this artist taught himself to play an
ancient and sacred instrument.
The music on At
The Edge of Space has a definite hypnotic, decisive effect.
Music is primarily a valuable tool for giving me time to heal the mind, body,
and spirit. And that is the quintessential nourishment we all need at times.
Accessing it regularly would be a good idea.
