Search - Brian Scott Bennett :: A.M./P.M. Yoga Melodies

With A.M. & P.M. Yoga Melodies, Gaiam Living Arts has united with the Relaxation Company and composer/musician Brian Scott Bennett to offer audio companions to the bestselling A.M./P.M. Yoga Video Series (featured on Oprah Winfrey's talk show). A.M. Yoga Melodies is specifically designed to accompany a morning yoga routine, but befits many rising activities such as journaling or sitting in contemplation. Bennett's music is a gently invigorating balance of active and passive melody and tempo. The hour of music is primarily led by Bennett on piano and keyboards, and rounded out with percussion, sitar, violin, guitars, and yoga devotee Jennifer Warnes's warm phonetic vocals. The mood created is one of acoustic naturalism, harmonious and joyful noise to which even the dullest of yogi sleepyheads can begin to move with grace and purpose. Companion to the wonderfully invigorating morning collection, the hour-long P.M. Yoga Melodies (disc two) sonically carves out space for a mind-body-spirit wind-down come end of the day. More exotic than its morning companion, P.M. Melodies is sensual and languorous, inviting the listener to move through a relaxational yoga routine, lounge in reverie, or soak away a day's cares before trundling off to bed. --Paige La Grone
