This website showcases our unique range of soundscapes and spoken word visualisations, especially created for calming relaxation, yoga, meditation, sleep disorders, stress-management, massage, Reiki, reflexology, and other forms of healing arts.   

What you probably don’t know is that almost 20 years ago I began creating my own music for relaxation - initially for myself.   

Back then, there wasn’t much specialised music for relaxation in the market and I wanted to create some long-form content (longer than 5-minutes), that I could use during my meditation practice, or as a preparation for meditation or for sleep, or just to provide a calm atmosphere at home when I wanted to relax.

Later, I studied yoga and again wanted some long-form music that was constant, and positive, and minimalist, with very little or no beat or rhythm, and again it was difficult to find. Whenever I was having a massage at a health spa, I would consciously listen to the background music. Invariably, just as I would become relaxed to a point where I was almost unaware of its presence, the music would suddenly do a 90-degree turn down a 'dark alley' - going from gentle, positive vibes to a dark, negative feeling, or would subject me to random beats that had the effect of waking me up, distracting me from my blissed-out relaxed state. Musicians just can’t help themselves, I know… as a musician and composer myself, I have had to re-learn how to compose music and to fight the impulse to ‘jazz it up a bit’ and get all moody. This is most acceptable, even desirable, in other music genres - and is wonderful for jazz, rock and progressive music - but for relaxation, yoga, meditation, massage, etc., its a killer. It throws up too much distraction, and kills the positive energy that flows through the body, and Chakras.  

I began experimenting with specific frequencies (sound wavelengths) and vibrational toning techniques in conjunction with slow tempo (typically 50 to 60bpm) to help slow the heartbeat and reduce blood pressure by stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system in order to switch on the so-called ‘Relaxation Response’ in the brain, and also to stimulate positive energy movement within the Chakra subtle energy system.

Over the years, I’ve had a lot of good feedback from many people who have used my music as an aid in helping them overcome various forms of suffering: grief, loss, sleep disorders, anxiety, depression, physical pain… even relief from Parkinson’s Disease tremors.   

Later, I became a Yoga Teacher, and that led me to Therapeutic Yoga and Yoga Therapy. During all this time I continued to experiment with vibrational toning techniques as a Sound Therapy tool and have used it in my Yoga and Meditation classes for many years - from large community halls to small functional groups and private individual clients - more than 2,000 participants over the last 9 years. I created albums and distributed these globally through about 40 to 50 online digital download and streaming providers, including: Apple Music, iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, TikTok, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Sound Exchange, etc., and these albums have sold to people all over the world.   

In 2020, I launched our own website, Zen Music, where people can listen to samples and download albums and tracks in just a few mouse clicks or finger taps. The website currently offers 33 albums and over 260 tracks, from easy-listening relaxation music, to long-form relaxation and meditation soundscapes, breathing techniques, and spoken-word guided visualisations.   

Zen Music is currently producing several new relaxation and meditation albums - and we have more guided visualisation albums in production too, as well as some progressive transcendental soundscapes!
