REVIEWS
“Although the music was commissioned as a soundtrack, it stands alone as a
beautiful, rich, ambient recording tailored for bodywork and relaxation. The four
tracks flow together, giving the impression of one continuous piece, with smooth
segues and transitions. The variety of musical instruments –keyboards, harps,
flutes and more – makes up the tonal palette of HARMONY and helps to create a
hypnotic tranquility. . .”
-- Massage Magazine
“The quiet strumming of a harp, subtle percussion that echoes in the distance, flutes
and piano that wander through the backdrops . . . together they combine to form
the soothing soundscapes of Michael Benghiat’s HARMONY. Originally released as
AT PEACE – MUSIC FROM BIG SUR, this is the ultimate music for massage. It has
a natural improvised quality that hold the attention of the listener, but not so much
as to be distracting. The relaxed tempos and earthy instrumentation consistently flow
for one hour, enticing the listener into a state of calm which allows the effects of a
therapeutic massage to be fully realized.”
