TRAIN Your BRAIN Like an OLYMPIC ATHLETE!
     Elite athletes and peak performers in many fields know how to use music to help them focus their mind and fine tune their body for success.

     Now you, too, can effortlessly access the ‘flow state’ by entraining your brain to the alpha zone to gain a competitive advantage for sports, 
well-being, or work.

     DEEP ALPHA Vol.1 (432 Hz) combines Steven Halpern’s relaxing compositions, which balance and synchronize the left and right hemispheres of the brain, with the biologically more resonant tuning (A=432 Hz) rather than concert pitch (A=440 Hz).

     432 Hz is a higher harmonic of the 8 Hz electro-magnetic field of the Earth (its ‘planetary brainwave’), known as the Schumann Resonance.

     Characteristics associated with the alpha state include relaxed alertness, mindful awareness, enhanced focus, concentration, meditation and feelings of inner peace.

Revised • Remixed • Tuned to 432 Hz • Bonus Tracks

STEVEN HALPERN is a Grammy® nominated, Billboard charting, 
multi-platinum selling recording artist, author, researcher and pioneering sound healer.
 
“A founding father of New Age music.” 
— Los Angeles Times
 
DEEP ALPHA — 2012 GRAMMY® Nominee: Best New Age album

Meditation 2

The title of this album my attempt at translating the Farsi phrase قارچ‌های غربت to English. It comes from the poem "The Sound of Water's Footsteps" by Iranian poet Sohrab Sepehri. 

A more literal translation of the phrase would be Mushrooms of "Ghurba", an originally Arabic word that has several meanings, including senses of estrangement, alienation, loneliness, being away for home, and longing.

I composed many of these pieces during and after Israel's 12 day war on Iran in the summer of 2025. Being  an Iranian living abroad for 15 years, I had never felt Ghurba the way I felt it this summer, as I realized more and more that Iranian lives matter to exactly no one.
Ghurba and all its meanings overshadow most of the pieces in this album. 

The music heard on this post is the final track, which is an improv piece with the same title as the album.

In the album art, I tried to depict a mycelial network creeping up the piano and my body, and expanding into the ground, maybe a thread or two reaching the other side of the world where home is.

As Sepehri's poem says "Who cares if sometimes the mushrooms of ghurba start to grow?" 

You are right Sohrab, nobody does...
