93,
Does anyone use any ambient music during the performance of their daily rituals or special ceremonies? If so....
Any suggestions or recommendations?
Eric.  |

I prefer soft instrumental Celtic music. So much out there, I'd be hard pressed to suggest anything in particular. Try a few of the many CDs and artists out there.
Enya and Celtic Woman are great for general listening pleasure, but words sung affect my concentration. Faster "Riverdance" dance music throws me all out of whack - forget ritual, let's dance!
So-called New Age music is a little too spacy for me.

I am not a fan of Celtic music because it reminds me of high school role-playing games and such and I find it interferes with my work. Nothing bad with the music per se, it is quite beautiful.
I agree, new age music feels kind of spacey; although I have used them before.
Gregorian chant seems to work with me, although at times I feel there should be something dark and beautiful out there that is more modern. That is what I would like to find. A dark, beautiful, and mysterious sound for my work.

You might want to check out "Soliloquy for Lilith" by the ever popular Nurse with Wound. (Steve Stapelton et. al.)
On the lighter side one of my old favorites is "Phaedra" by Tangerine Dream. There really is quite a lot of material out there. Searching it out can be quite a good time. |

Yes. I am very much interested in adding sounds to the background of my work. After years of meditation in silence I want to experiment with sound. I will look on I-tunes for a few things. Keep the suggestions coming for my benefit...and those of the community in general. I would really appreciate it.

daily rituals?
I recently have been tuned onto dj cheb i sabbah. The song Shri Durga is a fine example of the type of sound.
Also, along a similar style of ambient music i recommend checking out Talvin Singh, Vira . |

Lately I've been using Ossaserpia's "Music for Solve et Coagula" (http://www.horus.cz/www_hcd/releases.html - scroll down the page it's currently the second one down). It's kind of droning chamber music, quite nice and uplifting.
Also for totally minimalist and non-distracting background music the new album from Sleep Research Facility "Deep Frieze" is great dark ambient thats intended to invoke the atmosphere of the antarctic! (http://www.coldspring.co.uk/discography/csr72cd.php)
Of the two mentioned the Sleep Research Facility album is the one I use the most, maybe in a past life I was a monk in Siberia  |

| I have been composing sacred music for an Order based in Europe, the experience has enlightened me greatly and brought new understanding to the composition process. I look forward to evolving further with this endeavor. |

| I often listen to long ambient soundscapes while meditating, such as some of Current 93's "Maldoror" material, aswell as "The dreammoves of the sleeping king" ...Other than that, Burzum's "Rundgang Um Die Transzendentale Saule der Singularität" is excellent for such activities. |

| While I haven't personally done any work with it, it seems that some of the Metamusic put out by the Monroe Institute would probably fit well for some workings (somewhat based on their hemi-sync technology, which is also worth looking into). The scientific use of music to effect brainwaves based on quantitative research seems to be a road worth looking down. |

I was digging out creepy music and Halloween sounds CDs for my outdoor display a few days ago, and I found Pink Floyd's "Umma Gumma". There are some unique sounds on this album, some good for Halloween ambience, and others just abstract enough for meditation ritual.
I find it frustrating by "Classic Rock Radio" and their all-Pink-Floyd-all-the-time formats anymore, but this album might be appropriate for ritual anyway for you.
To me, I see in my mind a journey though a series of caverns (or) a dark forest when I listen to Umma Gumma.
You won't hear any of this on the radio, which is a shame. |

The new issue of Mojo has interviews with Page, Plant and Jones about the new concert: there's a sprinkling of Crowley references, of course. |
