Music & Images by Christian Nielsen. Audio track is "After the Rain" from the CD "Sacred Wind Calling", available on CD and download at musictherapycd.com. Instrumentation: Native American Flute, environmental sounds.

From the CD "Endless Ocean, Infinite Sun", a recording of Native American Flutes, soothing percussion, and chants along with the sounds of the sea (some sounds are actually Lake Superior). This is a repetitive chant from the Lakota (Sioux) American Indian people. I have found it very healing and many of my clients have as well. When I have performed this in churches, many have said the felt "sun" could also be "Son". I leave that up to individuals to interpret for themselves, as this song predates white contact. Either way it is a very simple, beautiful song. Images are my photography, except for the telescopic image of the son, which is a NASA photo.

This piece has been edited down to 10 minutes from it's original 11:42 to fit YouTube & MySpace Video time limits. This piece was inspired a few years ago, when we had spectacular northern lights or aurora borealis. It was so vivid. I wanted to find a way to capture the images in music. I went out with a portable synthesizer that had an on-board sequencer. I layered several tracks by just following the motion of the lights. I then added the flute track and did more production work the next morning. It was an amazing experience to connect to an energy so much larger. Some of the background synthesizer comes from actual radio frequency sounds that the Aurora makes as charged electrons interact with the Earth's magnetic field. This is another example of the energy and vibration that connects us all.
