Musician and composer Gerald Jay Markoe's belief that relaxation induces a calming, meditative state and ultimately improves physical and spiritual well-being is borne out on MUSIC OF THE ANGELS. By combining harp, strings, wood winds, bells, and ethereal washes of synthesizer, Markoe creates a music that falls somewhere between a film soundtrack, a music box, and a dream of heaven, and manages to be nostalgic, comforting, alluring, and serene at once.
A certified Yoga instructor and astrologer, Markoe brings to his compositions a knowledge of the physical body and the stratosphere, and his soothing, floating instrumentals connect the two in the mind of the listener. MUSIC OF THE ANGELS is an appropriate accompaniment to unwinding after a long day, or a useful aid to more sustained meditation and self-exploration.
