About the New Age & Relaxation Music Genres
Relaxation music (also referred to as New Age music) is an expressive form of music designed to relax and balance the listener. It can take on many forms and shapes, and the diverse range of CDs & MP3s in our catalogue is a good example of this. New age music has it's roots in folk music, progressive electronica and also ancient cultural music such as that by the shamanic cultures. Each album is different; however it is from these roots that most of the modern relaxation music artists draw inspiration from.

Relaxation music produces the calming effect on the listener generally by using slow monotonous rhythms and low tonal frequencies. It can also contain brainwave entrainment effects such as binaural beats, white noise and isochronic rhythms. You can view our specific Brainwave Entrainment recordings here.

By definition new relaxation music has the goal of aiding meditation, inducing calmness within the listener or to aid the practice of spiritual modalities like Reiki, yoga, chakra balancing and self hypnosis. For this reason it is the perfect way to stimulate the aural senses which in turn helps lower the consciousness or brainwave frequency of the listener. This type of music is very good to discover inside your deeper mind and to promote clarity and composure for your daily activities. When used regularly this will really help improve your outlook and optimism to live a happier life.
Music has always been the universal language throughout different cultures regardless of where they are from. There is an understanding of what the music represents that can be communicated without the need for language. In saying this, there are many expressive forms contained by the musicians who make up our new Age music catalogue:
