This Song is mastered by Vincent Villuis (Aes Dana)  @ Ultimae Records.

We offer this Album at the Lotus Feet of our beloved Master 
Shrii Shrii Anandamurtiji 

Baba Nam Kevalam 
Baba means "my most beloved One", Nam means "name of" or "to identify with", and Kevalam means "only". So the meaning of the mantra is "My most Beloved is the only One." The ideation is: "Everywhere I look, in everything I hear, feel, see, taste and smell, I perceive that one Supreme Consciousness which pervades all things." 

Kiirtan is the singing of a mantra aloud while ideating on the Supreme Being. It inculcates the feeling of bliss and prepares the mind for meditation, because in performing it all the motor and sensory organs are engaged and directed towards the Supreme. It can be done anywhere, any time, but the best time is just before meditation. 
Chanting the mantra out loud before meditation is called "kiirtan." It is extremely beneficial and makes meditation much easier. Its a sort of a halfway step. The mind stays focused only on the mantra, but all the senses are not focused inwardly--we are still singing and listening. It helps slow breathing (through singing), helps fix the mantra in the mind, and on a subtler level, raises the vibration in the room. 

If you are inspired with this Album and you would like to learn more about Kiirtan and meditation, please contact this website:

Tom Kopca - Quae Super Caelum Est

A little fantasee never hurt anyone and it is a fitting way to end this journey and collection named eMergentZ. I always seem to end such visions with a magic flute, and believe me that the Claire Alto Flute surely fits the bill. I hope you enjoy it as much as I love this instrument. :-)

I articulated the Alto Flute using TouchOSC on my ipad. This I programmed for the instrument.

The Proposal

I am always open to collaboration :-)) Please comment good or bad, always something to learn and thanks for your ears :-) #LarsLooperMan

About 10 years ago I began composing again. There are many reasons, but after a few tunes I found that people were liking them. Today's VSTs and DAWs afford you that opportunity to express yourself just like a big recording studio. The SC community has helped me improve my work and I do thank them.

So this journey began with my love of classics and alternative genre's of music. When inspired I begin to compose and sometimes it happens quickly and sometimes it happens when it happens.

I am inclined to record with very little or no compression at all. So crank it up so you can hear all of the subtle nuances. Sometimes I mix for 12 hours or more at once to find those harmonizations that tickle that hair in your ear. This is just my way of reaching out and touching my listeners. I am very appreciative that so many Soundclouders have reached out and mentored this work. I invite those comments as it only makes the music that much better, so thanks!

I am influenced by many. I would say that it ranges from Henry Mancini to Herb Alpert to Led Zeppelin to Andreas Vollenweider to Weather Report to Acoustic Alchemy. Even Captain Beyond or classical elements! Now it is my turn to take what is inside and share it.

It is kind of scary to be here with so many talented professionals and skilled musician's. Not to mention that the production quality is a happy surprise.

I am here to share, but also, to learn. So, if you think I went awry then tell and teach me. I have a very blank canvas and hope that we can share a moment together. Boy oh boy, have I been learning! Thanks to all of you who are so kind with your time!

More later, when I have something brilliant, stupid, or silly to say.

BTW, if I won the lottery I would travel the world half the time collaborating away and then the other half would be spent trying to help other people's dreams come true. :-))
