Carlos Michael and LeAnn Eriksson, as Wavegarden, play unusual, powerful sounds using crystal singing bowls, hanghang, various kinds of flutes, waveharps, voice, and tabla and other percussion. Wavegarden concerts are full-body experiences. Human bodies, made up of over 70% water, resonate with the vibrations from the bowls and go into a nearly involuntary relaxed state. The bowls also have a strong effect on the brain, not only slowing its activity into alpha or theta wave patterns, but also putting it into a state called "hemi-sync", meaning that waves from the two hemispheres are synchronized. This state of mind and body is an invitation for our audiences to allow space into their lives, for whatever they need...healing, personal growth, spiritual exploration, or simply better sleep at night. Wavegarden music is hard to put into a genre...ambient, chill-out, folk, tango, Indian, Celtic, rock and pop have all made their mark on us as musicians...and "New Age" feels limiting. Many crystal bowl players work with sounds only for vibrational healing. Our sounds are musical as well as relaxing. This music is best listened to with good headphones or a high-end audio system. Don't try it while driving!

Story behind the song
Carlos and LeAnn met Laraaji last year in NYC and were inspired to see what was possible together...so they all came together for a recording session in Berlin. This is one sound journey that came out of their spontaneous, live collaboration.
