mid-tempo groove-based sonic backdrops for everyday life, to hold you steady, calm, uplifted, positive and awake in mind, body and spirit as you work, rest and play

Tempo: a stately 65 BPM to induce deep relaxation.
Key E flat: the key of Eastern sacred music, to induce connection with spiritual realm.
Duration: 17 minutes 48 seconds, enough to take yourself through a full self-healing process.

Linear progression (musical): a gently cacophonous angel choir singing from the primal swirl, gives way to the sweetness of a lone arpeggiated acoustic guitar, swiftly joined by a satisfying beat and heart-massaging bass line of supreme girth and breadth, moving you through elysian fields and discreetly swirling strings of major 7th chords roasted over burning Humbuckers, before dropping you into the mysterious valley of limitless potential and minor chord progressions, then back out into the sunlight for a stirring moment of major 7th warmth, leading to the soothingly mysterious darkness of dub heaven, where you experience the full effect of the Pure Barefoot sonic power stimulator, back out into the elysian fields, opening into a vast soul-rousing melodic vista and finally into an impassioned outro to rejoin the angels briefly to say thankyou and toodlepip.

Linear progression (narrative): brief induction to encourage arriving in the present moment, fully in your skin, followed by a relaxation deepener, followed by introduction to your own power, followed by a suggestion to feel calm and at peace, followed by a reminder to remain in the present moment, followed by a suggestion to encourage gratitude for your blessings.

Intended effect: emotional stabilisation, personal empowerment, relaxation amplification.

EASE OFF - to encourage leaving fearfulness and stressing behind and reach the peak of your own magnificence.
Tempo: 59 bpm
Key: B minor
Duration: 17 minutes 34 seconds.

A drone to quell fear and draw the spirit in, draws you out of the everyday trance into a deeper one, ready for a small team of neo-medieval guitars of various heft and hue, riding along on a fat bed of beat and bass, to underscore a delicate piano and sets the tone and perspective for an inner shift. This moves into a passage representing the out-of-proportion pain and emotion, joy and sentiment of the world of the world, resulting in the exhortation to ease off, which leads almost without warning into a soothing, warming jazz-funk passage to ease the stress and engender soothing warmth all the way down to your hips and beyond, before returning to the main theme, which gathers presence and amplitude exponentially before resolving in a vast anthemic climax of orgasmic scale, leaving you feeling renewed on all levels and ready to take on the adventure no matter where it leads.
