CLOUDS: Ethereal - Expansive - Moody / Relaxing Avant-Garde Soundscapes (33:20). Like the multitudinous mood descriptions for clouds, the music and sound design in this cloudscape album is light, wispy, airy, luminous, illusory, remote, aloof, transitory, mystical and magical and these moods slowly build in intensity over 5 tracks to become more ominous, brooding and darker in tone, before once again returning to light and airy... positive hope and celebratory affirmation of all life... coming and going. Instrumentation & Sounds: Piano, Synth Pads, Orchestral Strings, Flute, Vibraphone, Clarinet, Cello, Timpani & Cymbals, Tibetan Singing Bowls (Bowed), Drones & Binaural Frequencies, Vocal Atmospheres (Cristina Soto).

"Ambient Textures" series is a kind of 'sound wash' - an aural soundscape experience of smooth sounds for relaxed listening. This first album, Volume 1 paints a kaleidoscope of aural colours, tones and textures. Lay back, relax and let this album wash over you. "Ambient Textures" can perhaps be best described as 'Elemental', because the sounds are inspired by the elements of nature. Music and sound designed for the brain - to trigger the Parasympathetic Nervous System (PNS), and promote mental clarity, peace and tranquility. In Volume 1, the elements are watery - cool, liquid, vapourish, ethereal, mirage-like, floating musical phrases and sounds designed around water themes. Music Composer: Peter Morley / Cover Artwork: Anita Allsopp

"Ambient Textures - Vol. 2 " - More relaxing, seductive sounds and music designed around interpretive expressions of texture. "Ambient Textures" can perhaps be best described as 'Elemental', because the sounds are inspired by the elements of nature. Music and sound designed for the brain - to trigger the Parasympathetic Nervous System (PNS), and promote mental clarity, peace and tranquility. Be totally immersed in this calming sound bath for the mind.
In volume 2, the 'Elemental Textures' reflect the opposite of those in volume 1 - Dryness: harsh, parched, faded, dusty and rusted themes evoke the hot, bright light of Australia's inland expanses, faded buildings and rusted machinery of a bygone era.

Inspired by the ‘Soundscapes’ (of artists such as Brian Eno), Peter Morley has created a soundscape album that is specifically designed for relaxing and focusing the mind. Relax to this experimental electronica soundscape and be stimulated by the emotive sounds, vibrations and energetic connection to heightened awareness. Sparse silky-smooth synth pads with multiple overlays of tonal textures - ambient guitar, piano, minimalist haunting melody, and seductive vocal tones paint an aural landscape of meditative waves of sound. This work is greatly influenced by Zen meditative consciousness. Music Composer: Peter Morley Cover Photography & Art Design: Peter Morley

Please Note: It is recommended that headphones or earbuds be used when listening to this album, in order to achieve the highest sound quality and enjoy the subtle tonal fidelity of the tracks.

"Ningaloo Dreaming" is about swimming with dolphins, whales and sea turtles in "The Dreaming" – an Aboriginal spiritual connection to ancient land, ancestors and the natural environment. Relaxing and meditative – a mesmeric theme of wave motion, entrancingly mystic. Specially designed for relaxation. (86:33)

“Celestial” - Artist: Peter Morley. Label: Energi Music / Zen Music - first released in 2003. Energi Music Studio, Perth, Western Australia.

An experimental soundscape, "Celestial" takes you on a journey from ethereal serenity to cataclysmic extremes... and back again.

"Celestial" explores the many moods of deep space - the alignment of the mind with the planets, the stars and the whole cosmos.

This the very first CD album created by Peter Morley in 2003. He intended it as a relaxation ‘concept’ album – an aural experience, a ‘cosmic voyage’ – offering (hopefully) a contemplation on our existence in the greater Cosmos.

Gently soaring mesmeric guitar melodies overlay peaceful, yet powerful layered keyboard harmonies. This fusion of traditional and electronic instruments is an exploration of the synthesis between imagery and music.

"Celestial" is influenced by the work of Karlheinz Stockhausen, Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream, Gary Numan, Peter Gabriel, Vangelis, Robert Fripp and Brian Eno, among many others who have crafted visually-stimulating music. "Celestial" is Energi's debut album.
