For Your Consideration
Best New Age, Ambient, or Chant Album
The phrase “Soft Winds“ is used to express "May the wind be at your back” or may your life be easy for you rather than a a simple goodbye. The album Soft Winds is a new age “tone poem” that uses each track to musically and emotionally describe the beauty of human relationships in all its forms. The relationships depicted are with ourselves, the world, community/immigrants , our love, our children/family, or our ancestors that laid the foundations of who we are. The album and art is lovingly 100% human made.
​
Track 1 Embrace the Mist - Embracing a relationship with our future unknown selves and our world community. We need to accept the uncertainly(mist) and go with the flow. Have faith it will be ok even if we cannot see it.
​
Track 2 A Shared Breath - With a romantic relationship so close, the couple shares a single breath.
​
Track 3 Sigh in the Night - Love as oneness and its expression.
​
Track 4 Tranquil Eyes - This is the true story of a 4 year old tranquilized girl(for her safety) and the saving relationship of her mother helping them to escape the Vietnam war traveling over the seas. WE ARE ALL in this world together and sometimes need the goodness of others to survive. She has gone on to be one of music's top attorneys.
​
Track 5 The Ancestral Chain - Finding thankfulness for those that came before us and laid down the foundations for our life. Many older cultures use the pentatonic scale thus used here. The fretless bass helps bind the past to today.
​
Track 6 Soft Winds - The track is a musical tone poem that expresses the gentle goodbye of “May the wind be at your back” in a relationship full of love for the short term or forever.
​
Track 7 Glimmers ( instrumental) - An ASMR sleep song reminding the listener of those Glimmer moments in life that bring joy.
​
Track 8 Poetic Solitude - Having a healthy relationship with yourself. It is being alone and finding peace and joy in it.
​
Track 9 Glimmers (Spoken Word) - It is a musical and verbal expression of the night time ritual with a child that becomes a nightly glimmer in life.
