Thank You Dirk for this great opportunity, and for the even greater track! 
"This is the first of a series of open collabs for my next album "einklang" .

the track is at 90 bpm !

I am looking for any kind of electronic, ambient, ethnik, duduk, grooves or whatever gives us the chills.... no lyrics, no vocals this time :)

First reason to join into this collab should be fun and passion for music and no guarantee that the track will make it on the album but if it makes it, we will share 50/50 in case the track will generate more than 100 € a year (which is hard enough :). Full credit is understood..."

"Oceans of Time" by Neal Acree
Tina Guo, Cello
Laurie Ann Haus, Vocals

Here is a preview track, composed by the awesome Neal Acree  from the upcoming "Tina Guo & Composers for Charity" Album.
100% of proceeds from this digital-only release will go directly to The Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation. 

2 years ago, I had an idea to put together an album for charity with some amazing film, television, and video game composer friends- each of whom wrote a track for the CD. The album will finally be released on October 1, 2014!

Naked Strings

Native American Flute with Tibetan Bowls (2hz Binaural Beat).  This track is based on an F# tone (at a=432hz tuning) for activating the heart chakra.  The flute was made by Coyote Oldman.

http://coyoteoldman.com

Binaural beats are a way of synchronizing your brain waves (which are measured in hertz) with the hertz of the binaural beat. The brain has a frequency following response which causes this to occur. These can help induce states of relaxation, meditation and help to relieve anxiety and stressed out states. This works best with headphones because binaural beats are panned hard left and right which forces the brain to synchronize the two tones. 

Here is an article from Wikipedia about Brainwave Entrainment:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainwave_entrainment

The brainwave states (Beta, Alpha, Theta, Delta) are listed on this page (scroll down to the table)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroencephalography

here's a basic rundown of the brains states:

Beta - 30hz-13hz - your normal awake state, in higher ranges or above 30hz you may be experiencing stress. In this case, you gotta chill!

Alpha - 13z-8hz - a relaxed and reflective state

Theta - 8hz-4hz - a very meditative state or getting drowsy and drifting off, if your sleepy)

Delta - 4hz and below - deep sleep or a very deep meditative state. Buddhist Monk's brainwaves have been measured in this state during meditation.

In the unlikely event that you experience any unusual physical or mental discomfort, immediately discontinue use.

I tell my stories through my own composed (and improvised) instrumental guitar music, using a combination of acoustic guitars, sometimes supported by orchestral instruments. Some have described my music as meditative, relaxing, and introspective, with a touch of melancholia and a distinctly Spanish flair. Listen for yourself and let me know what stories my music tells you.
