Music CDs

Relax to the timeless sound of eastern Zen harp music and enjoy the present moment whatever you might be doing...
This purely acoustic music has been composed and played by Thomas Wiegandt on
a beautifully sounding one hundred year old harp zither.
Zen is the art of the Now. This music has been inspired by Japanese Zen music played on a zither called the Koto. As I did not have a Koto, I used
a Bavarian harp-zither, which had been built in 1903 by Kerschensteiner for
my great-grandfather Heinrich Reuss.
The improvisations played in different scales and moods represent the flow and change of the everlasting and timeless Now. I have recorded these tracks in 1988 in West Cork,Ireland and finally transferred them to CD in 2004. Enjoy!
Feedback: “I like the CD very very much - and am listening to it right now. (all day actually).” (Aranos - Czech musician)
Total playing time: 50:38

Similar to Present Moments CD, but played on different Instruments
Thomas Wiegandt: Harp-zither, percussion
Jeremy Baines: Flutes, ocarinas, bells, euklang, hooveridoo
The music on this CD is ambient music to slow down and to enjoy being in the moment, being in a time temple...
The improvisations, played mainly in eastern scales on acoustic instruments, create a peaceful and meditative atmosphere. The different pieces are reflections of different moods, ever changing with the flow of life.
Improvised music is an authentic free flow of energy and vibration in the present moment and thus the creation of an instant composition by the Spirit. The music has been been recorded in 1988 in West Cork,Ireland.
Total playing time: ca. 40 min.

Music recordings of many different Irish community groups, playing music improvisation, which sound tribal, ecstatic, imaginative, jazzy, meditative and together. Please inquire.
