LEADING EDGE REVIEW:
Angelic Whisperings is a glorious new recording by Andrew Rogers of relaxing, spontaneous orchestral keyboard improvisations. Experience the thunder and whispers of a musical "Journey," from the joys of discovering the "Lost Temple" where you'll be able to hear the mysterious "Voices In The Wind," and experience the peacefulness of spiraling higher and soaring with your own wings! Perfect for meditation, relaxation and guided inspiration.
NAPRA REVIEW:
Angelic Whisperings: Rather than composing these "sonic landscapes," Rogers says he channels them, playing what comes, without editing or embellishment. After twenty-plus years working with pre-recorded healing music, he now employs his unedited channeling for live performances and this recording. The music is produced by synthesizer; but Rogers' strong background with both church and theatre organs is apparent, especially in the initial piece's weighty, pipe-like bass resonance. "Lost Temple," the second offering, intriguingly suggests an Indiana Jones setting, followed by three title which exude softer, more ethereal sensations like flowing clouds or an ocean's perpetual undercurrents. Modules from this CD have served successfully as meditation music, which seems to me its foremost appeal.

How is it we grow "worthy" local artists? Maybe it's the water? Or the air? Fenton, Michigan, resident Andrew Rogers is an organist, composer, and has at least two feet in other spiritual matters…Rogers has a 25-year interest and appreciation in using music as a tool for healing and the transformation of consciousness. He started working with pre-recorded music and studied its effects on individuals and groups beginning in the early 1970's. Later, he began channeling music for both individuals and groups as a catalyst for spiritual attunement.
Angelic Whisperings has been worked out through Rogers' lectures, workshops, performances with Unity Church, Spiritual Frontiers and other groups. He was a featured artist with the Coptic Fellowship's regional gathering in Lansing, Mi., in 1997 and their National Convention in 1998.
Angelic Whisperings is a live, "channeled" album without any over-dubbing, editing or multi-tracking...(and) were not heard beforehand, and were first heard by Rogers and his engineer in the studio at recording time. Angelic Whisperings is the kind of uplifting, inspiring, laid-back creative music you might hear behind a guided meditation that soars (guided meditation leaders will buy this one for guaranteed use in their lectures) and which you would use as a background springboard for you own lingering, deeply contemplative moments and the settled creative times of your life.
