TRANSFORMATION features a tranquil blend of flutes, guitar, harps, keyboards, piano, dulcimer and percussion in an uninterrupted hour of flowing harmonies delicately crafted with ultimate relaxation in mind. Aside from the occasional keyboard enhancement, the music retains a highly acoustic feel, with guitar, flute and harp interwoven into a tapestry of peace and harmony. The relaxed, consistent tempos and subtle rhythms give the music a natural flow, ideal as an accompaniment to restorative, healing and nurturing practices such as massage and reflexology, meditation and yoga.

REVIEWS:

Transformation is change, often for the better . . . a conversion to another form, another way of being. TRANSFORMATION, by Michael Benghiat, is a metamorphosis for the spirit, allowing you to escape the stress and anxiety of everyday life and blossom in the midst of musically induced euphoric relaxation. Listen to the gentleness of the piano, the harp and the guitar guiding you along a sonic pathway, the softness of the flutes putting your mind at ease. The melodies here have a continuous flow, remaining dynamic without ever becoming stale or repetitive, making them perfect for maximum effectiveness in the massage atmosphere.

This is wonderful music for relaxation with or without massage (preferably with, of course!). Four pieces, each about 15 minutes in length, equate to one lovely hour of auditory peace. The four titles, Earth Mother, Transformation, Sun & Moon, and Jade Spring, suit the gentle, flowing ambiance created by guitar, piano, harp, dulcimer, flutes and percussion. In sequence, one feels a progression from surface through depth into a renewing emergence. For me, this is just the kind of music to enhance my browsing pleasure in any bookstore.
