The second in the "Water Trilogy" series of Yellow Bell Meditation / Relaxation CDs. The 30-minute title cut 'Rain Trance' features the Egyptian bamboo flute over a live recording of a subtropical thunderstorm and a water splashing jam with Clay Pot, and Berimbao. The introductory piece 'Water Drum' uses the Chinese bamboo flute (Dizi), the Indian bamboo flute (Bansuri), Mbira and Bass Mbira, Gonkogui (African bells), the Gopichand from India, small Indian brass bells, Kanjira (small Indian tambourine) and of course the Water Drums from West Africa. The closing piece 'Water Bells' is a meditational soundscape employing only the sound of dripping water and the ringing of a large Indian brass bell with its beautiful overtones.
a beautifully transparent soundscape. ...a piece of music so serene and peaceful that it immediately takes you into a meditative space. ... a perfect compliment to any yoga practice[Jaime Ehrenfeld, Feb/March, 2004 Enlightened Practice Magazine]
Above the interplay of ... melodic percussion instruments the Chinese bamboo flute called the Dizi weaves a sinuous melody... perfect for relaxation, meditation, and Yoga.[Regina Rodriguez, Jornal Olho de Aguia]
