MUSICAL SERENITY. Music for Meditation & Serenity. This CD features Dhuni Tzadok and Roland Montijo. This CD falls under the new age music category.
Musical Serenity is the name of my new musical project and web page. I have a CD called "Music For Meditation and Serenity". This is music to chill out to. Something soothing for the soul. Something to help relieve the stress that builds in us. It is also good to fall asleep to and help transfer you to dreamland. I, Bob Holzner, play Keyboards, Percussion, Electronic Drums, Acoustic Snare Drum and some Chanting on this CD. Featured on this CD is Dhuni Tzadok who plays Sitars, Acoustic Guitars, Electric Guitar, Bass Guitar and Chanting. Also featured on this CD is Roland Montijo who plays Acoustic Midi Guitar Synthesizer, Electric Midi Guitar Synthesizers, Baroque Lutes and Cellos. I am in the process of finding someone to add Vocals on the song Flight Weaver and someone to add Native Flute to a few select songs. I have plans to add violin to the CD at some point as well. If you have stress and need to relax have a listen to my music and soothe your troubled soul. This CD falls under New Age category of music but I also compose music in the Progressive Rock and Jazz Fusion categories. You will also find some of my original music I composed for movie and/or game soundtracks using Cakewalk and Sonar computer software for composing music. I have much more in the works but need to convert these songs to the correct format for this site before I can upload them. I also include on this site some of the music I recorded with a couple of improvisational bands (Astral Travelers, Improv Edge Runner Band) I have been in over the years. You can also go to some of my other band sites at the following links. http://www.soundclick.com/asteraltravelers http://www.soundclick.com/surrealbanshee http://www.soundclick.com/theoriginalonyx I also uploaded a few Jazz Fusion songs I arranged and composed in 1996 using DoReMix software by Roland. I also use Cakewalk, Sonar 6 Producer software. I will soon be working with The Funky Guitarist (Rudy Ramos) on some new Jazz Fusion songs to be posted here when complete. There is one song that Rudy and myself put together some 20 years ago called The Picture Fusion Jam. I uploaded a copy of that song to my site. You can also hear it at The Funky Guitarist's site as well along with many other songs written by Rudy. http://www.soundclick.com/thefunkyguitarist God Bless. Bob Holzner

Story behind the song
The Original Onyx. Tony Wiese - Guitar, & Lead Vocals. Jack Mondlak - Keyboards. John Flannagan - Bass Guitar. Bob Holzner - Drums, & Percussion. This song was written by John Flannagan and recorded during July of 1978. We wrote and recorded a number of songs after our original guitarist, Glenn Spence, quit the band. James Latimer was in the band for a brief time after Glenn quite the band but left the band after a short period. This song was written and recorded during that time when we decided to continue as a four-piece band. James did come back a few months later to again be in the band and we stayed together through our final gig in 1980 (reunion show). The original tape of this version of the song is lost or missing. This recording comes from a second generation tape I found in my box of tapes and is not recorded on the preferred tapes of Maxell or TEAC. There is an amount of hiss being I had to boost the treble to compensate for the highly bassy sounding low generation version of this song. This version of the song does not have the gong but the percussion instruments (bells, and chimes) are quite audible in the mix. Unlike the gong version of this song the percussion parts are not audible at all. This version was recorded by Mike Mills with assistance from Phil Sypniewski.
