what happens is amazing...slowing but surely all humanity leaves his voice and pure resonance takes over...creating an ambient texture unlike any you've ever heard which progressively get deeper and deeper

i'm not saying that this is an album you're going to go bumping while cruising with your friends...but if you really love music the way i love music...the way many of the people here love music....this is a wonderful experiment as to way frequencies and in particular resonance....effect us

a real must for anyone interested in the science of sound and the psychological effect of music
Wow. That's quite a magical album, thanks for sharing. I'm definitely going to be listening to that album a lot in the near future and I love how unique that approach to music is. I can see drawing a lot of influence from this in my own music.
