From the ambient ringing of suspended oxygen tanks and the traditional rhythms of Indian tabla to the warm washes of electric guitars and analog keyboards, the Abstract Sound creates a truly unique musical experience for the yoga practitioner and listener alike. A combination of composition, improvisation, rhythmic loops and sonic effects, Music for Space Travel moves with the breath and responds to the natural ebb and flow of yoga and deep meditation.
Although Music for Space Travel is arranged to energize the listener without distracting from their practice, these compositions offer subtle textures and variations that reward the deep listener with repeated moments of discovery. At every stage of the creative process the Abstract Sound included yoga instructors and practitioners from across the country, seeking their input on the timing, tempo, and mood of the album. This input has helped the Abstract Sound create an album that remains true to their artistic vision while addressing the need for a steady, uninterrupted flow that grows in intensity over the first hour before it gently places the listener into a vast, contemplative space.
