Listen to Under the Bodhi Tree by Jonathan Still
Jonathan Still, classical guitarist and composer, makes me no wonder in producing so relaxing and peaceful album “Under the Bodhi Tree” for he came from a musical family. If he missed mom teaching him piano sure he would hear his sister play them on. That’s how Jonathan gets himself into music. Jonathan has composed and produced music for television and radio advertisements, music libraries, and independent movies and documentaries.
It was a fun experience which pushed him to record a second album which would eventually be known to the world as ‘Under the Bodhi Tree.’ The album picked up where the previous had left off, and Jonathan began to incorporate subtle vocals, thematic passages, intricate percussion, and signature complex meters to the music. The album was picked up by the UK’s New World Music label in 2005 and released world wide in 2006. Since then, ‘Under the Bodhi Tree’ has won the 2007 Independent Music Award for Best New Age Album and the 2007 New Age Album of the Year from the Coalition of Visionary Resources (COVR).
I would recommend “Under the Bodhi Tree” by Jonathan Still to all who loves meditation, soft calming music, and easy to listen music. This album would be great feel if “You Close your eyes and imagine you are sitting under the wonderful Bodhi tree with its heart shaped leaves and legendary divinity. The soft warm breeze of fluid instrumentation and exquisite delicacy soothes the worn and weary psyche. Jonathan Still invokes this scenario through the symbiosis of traditional instrumentation to reflect nature at its most expansive. The rise and fall of the arrangements will take you through nature to the metaphysical, from the tribal rouse to the sublime exotic, from the most traditional to the funkiest groove.”
The tracks would gradually take you to the world of calmness and simplicity so that you loose your daily stress and tension. Each and every tracks grips you to the next with stillness and momentum.
