Music For Meditation [Disquiet0323] by encymoverflow published on 2018-03-11T19:38:03Z While working on this assignment, I found out once again how incredibly hard it is to do very little: Since music for meditation should allow for emptying the mind. It should not distract. And yet, there should be something there that helps one get into a spiritual, contemplative mood, let any thoughts pass and then, a state of non-thinking, of pure presence. As a consequence, music for this purpose should/can have several properties: Modal - which allows a stable, calm state of mind Quietness and space - making sure the music doesn't overwhelm, neither by quantity nor by information overload Far-eastern sound connotations - As in many "spiritual" purpose-made music releases, this seems to aid obtaining a certain mood, often by raga-type sounds, or sounds that get used in "puja" ceremonies in India (and heard in yoga/spiritual paraphernalia shops all over in places such as Rishikesh). Since all of these are optional anyway - and are cliché-ridden on top of that -- I chose to simply use an electric guitar, for drone-like sounds, and after considering sitar-like moves, opted against those (for reasons of economy). Everything got recorded into Logic Pro, with generous helpings of delay and reverb, obviously. I layered six guitar tracks (plus one track for the chime) on top of each other and tried for them not to get into each others' way too much, to allow for the composition to consist of very little information. Enjoy your meditation!
