An interesting effect we have all come to enjoy at some point in our lives is an echo of the physics of sound in space. We get fancy and call it acoustics when it refers to man-made structures such as a rotunda, an opera house, a tomb, or temple. The magical resonance of sound can be something we discover in even the most mundane of places, like the shower. On this collection of soundings you will travel through 17 tracks of out-of-the-studio recordings from all over the planet. Stand within the Taj Mahal, drift up deep inside a Great Pyramid, meditate in China's Temple of Heaven, sail to the Sydney Opera House, hike to Angkor Wat in Cambodia, wander tombs, abbeys, cathedrals, and mosques, and relax at Echo Canyon, New Mexico. Go visit all these places to hear voice, reed, brass, organ, flutes, and traditional musics, each coming alive in their locationally unique ambience. Much of the journey is meditative, introspective, and inspiring. On this voyage you will learn the language of space -- the timbre of the eternal Void's voice. Be prepared to acknowledge the presence of grandeur. ~ John Patterson, All Music Guide
