SUNLIGHT, previously released as “Return to Big Sur” is the ideal companion CD for Michael Benghiat fans who loved his first CD for At Peace®, HARMONY. Like HARMONY, SUNLIGHT also offers beautiful, tranquil melodies and a rich assortment of layered, acoustic instrumentation. The subtle rhythms and beautiful melodic textures created by Michael on piano, keyboards and percussion accompanied by Stephanie Bennett on harp and Brice Martin on flutes, offer an emotional richness and spiritual depth that is difficult to achieve and even harder to find on most “relaxation” genre CDs.
Inspired again by the natural beauty and panoramic splendor of the Big Sur coast of California, as well as his love of gardens and nature as the ideal setting for meditation and contemplation, Michael has once again created enchanting relaxation music that will engage your mind, body and spirit on SUNLIGHT.
REVIEWS:
Touched by the beauty of the sun as it ascends over the rocky crags and vast shorelines of California’s Big Sur, Michael Benghiat created SUNLIGHT, an album of peaceful acoustic sonorities for therapeutic use. SUNLIGHT (originally titled, “Return to Big Sur”) features the harmonious sounds of flutes, harp, keyboards and bells, which quietly flow together with the gentleness of an ocean tide. Coupled with a one hour running time (ideal for session use), the album is perfect for enhancing a deep, cleansing massage or for guiding the listener along any sort of mental/healing endeavor they may embark on. -- Music Design
