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
This song came out of a struggle I was having accepting and not judging the "darker" sides of myself. While contemplating these parts, I wondered what it would be like to be so full of light that no darkness could come near...and thus came the song. What the song has helped me feel is that all humans hold the same light of love at the core of our beings, and when this shines out, what we think of as "darkness" naturally recedes. "Mary, Mary" came through in just a few minutes, nearly complete. I didn't consciously choose the name Mary, although since I wrote this song, I feel a strong and beautiful connection with the famous Marys from the Christian tradition.
Lyrics
There once was a woman named Mary So fair She spread beauty everywhere Was she afraid of the dark? I don't think she ever saw it She was so bright That no darkness could come near Mary's light shone bright and clear Mary, Mary, shine so bright I would stay with you in light I'll stay with you here tonight We are all like Mary So fair We spread beauty everywhere Let your light shine bright and clear Yours is a special beauty Shining With the love that flows through you Let your light shine always true Mary, Mary, shine so bright I would stay with you in light We're here together tonight
