"Dark,
looming mountains, endless windswept plains,
tourist postcards full of light and movement,
echoes of ancient civilizations... this, the
latest album by the accomplished Symbiosis,
is like a travel documentary for the inner
eye. Technically superb – as is all their
work – any of these evocative tracks
would be the perfect background to creative
work, art or movement therapy or even as a
soundtrack for your home video..."

to appeal both to therapists and a general

Press Release for the album:
Symbiosis
launch their first CD at Mind Body Spirit
'94
Symbiosis,
whose music cassettes are already widely used
by alternative therapists, healers, –
and people who simply enjoy relaxing to music
– have now released a compact disc of
some of their most popular work. Titled Lake
of Dreams, the CD contains 20 tracks of
gentle, ambient music by the group, and has
a playing time of more than 78 minutes. The
album is designed to appeal to both therapists
and a general audience, and has a journeying
and visionary feel. The music features concert
and ethnic flutes hauntingly played by John
Hackett and Clive
Williamson, and soothing acoustic guitar
work from Richard
Bolton.
Symbiosis
make their beautiful and unusual music by
combining the timbres of natural instruments
with atmospheric keyboard textures and the
sounds of nature, creating wonderful soundscapes
that capture the imagination, but which leave
plenty of space for the listener to explore
freely.
The
first hour of music on Lake of Dreams
is perfect as a backdrop to relaxation, T'ai
Chi and yoga, or alternative therapies such
as aromatherapy, massage and reflexology.
Tracks include Freefall, The Heron
the Sandpiper, None
but the Lonely Heart and the title
track from their Touching
the Clouds double-length album designed
specially for long periods of relaxation and
massage.
The
final 20 minutes of the CD represents some
of the more atmospheric work by the group,
with flute and guitar solos, a new tune called
Libra Rising, two pieces written specially
for radio and TV soundtracks, and Sesamum
Seed & Rice, an Eastern-style
global beats track which features Ashley
Drees on mandolin and Brazilian pot drum,
violinist Maloviere,
and singer Emily Sinclair. The piece been
tremendously popular at live concerts by Symbiosis,
and has already been played on many BBC radio
stations.
Producer and musician Clive Williamson is very
pleased with the resulting CD. “Each of
the five Symbiosis cassette albums has a very
different quality,” Clive says, “so
we have chosen a selection of material from
the albums which represents every facet of our
music so far, and adds some new pieces which
are not yet available on the tapes. We hope
that Lake of Dreams will be just as intriguing
and entertaining to listen to as it is useful
to therapists teaching relaxation, or doing
massage or reflexology sessions." Judging
by the number of people who asked about buying
Symbiosis music on CD at last year's Festival
for Mind-Body-Spirit in London, it's certain
that Lake of Dreams will be well received
at this year's show.
