about arundas

sala founded Arundas in 1998 after some years of forest dwelling and wandering here and there .. his experiences during those years would later form the concepts underlying the dreamfulaudisea .. in the north kingdom sala met xu cero (su sero) who became sala's friend and joined Arundas as engineer and producer .. later, after finishing a mass of unedited works, sala related the story of his travels to xu cero and asked that he oversee the editing and publishing of his material .. it wasnt long after that conversation that sala disappeared..that was over two years ago and since then none have seen him..

about the dreamfulaudisea

the dreamfulaudisea is a trilogy of works that together form one 3 hour song comprised of 6 movements and divided into 27 tracks (each album is exactly 1 hour containing 2 movements divided into 9 tracks). the trilogy is based on the events surrounding the journey of sala along shores of ifelorum and beyond. its creation began in the climbs of
the north kingdom then moved to the golden shore before
settling finally into the blue mountains where it was completed..

about the pathless ways

pathless ways is the second part of the dreamfulaudisea .. it was composed by sala and recorded and produced by xu-cero in and around the blue mountains .. mastering done by Steve Roach in the timeroom (sonoran desert) .. this work, being the second of three, picks up where the first leaves off .. like the first, it is essentially one song
travelling in an unbroken stream through two movements that have been divided into nine tracks for your convenience .. total playing time is exactly one hour .. for best results put on a pair of headphones and listen undistracted from beginning to end .. (in a quiet environment a boombox at a moderate volume also works well) .. great for meditation and usable for yoga but may be too dynamic for massage .. human contributors include : ko sion whose voice appears on tracks 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 7, along with the didgeredoo on tracks 3 and 4 and the mtn. dulcimer on tracks 5 and 6 -hanu goldberry whose subconscious poetry appears in tracks 5, 7, and 9 - and neanya whose bizzare fairy blurb appears near the end of track 6..other contributions made by a lesser nighthawk, a hermit thrush, a vireo, a golden crowned kinglet, a green heron, a lark sparrow, a meadow lark, 24 red winged blackbirds, 2 starlings, a white crested sparrow, a hummingbird, the waves on the shores of ifelorum, the nagga river, the heavenly rainsongs of the blue mountains appearing in tracks 3, 6, and9, and the many subtle forces that make everything possible .. "this record is dedicated to vanamali whose encouragment helped bring it and the others to life .." -sala

  • flows with epic proportions and scrupulous detail, already my favorite
    author: Jonathan Wise

    Brilliant. I can tell he put his entire heart and soul into this music, omitting nothing important and adding nothing extemporaneous. I am truly blown away by the epic feeling I get. . . An entirely new mythos has been created and has now been set in motion. Thank you Arundas!

  • Simply Fantastic
    author: Blake

    Much like "Listen," the melodious sounds of this album provide the listener with an indescribable musical experience that truely touches the soul. After a complete listening, I feel completely refreshed and relaxed, my body and mind emptied of any worldly stress. "Pathless Ways" is, for lack of better words, simply fantastic.

  • the within beyond
    author: Merlin

    The consciousness field this disc opens is vast and shimmering, invoking a joyous immersion in an inner terrain. Combine it with watching the visualizations in Media Player and time will utterly stop. To the meditative madman behind the mirror - now I see what all the months have been dedicated to. You truly have created a journey template for each of us to follow in our own way.

  • this is it
    author: john jakes

    This is the best cd ive heard in a LONG TIME. You have to listen to the whole thing to understand it, the samples just cant convey its majesty as a whole. Its mood is deeply spiritual without being trite or cheesy, and its filled with that rare and pioneering artistic integrity present in all truely unique yet beautiful works of creation. Sadly, because they sit in the lonely heights of the music world, where few have the fire or fortune to travel, i cant say that Arundas will ever enjoy the audience size of those working the McMusic scene... But to those lucky enough to discover them: Enjoy the sublime view! JJ

  • This is an amazing work of art!
    author: Viela Sparrow

    Rich with vision, this beautiful work represents a lot of what I look for in music. This CD has guided me through many meditations. Music like this is hard to come by! I can't listen to just one song, I always listen to the whole CD. I truely hope to hear more from this artist.

  • An Epic Work
    author: D.C

    Powerful, exotic, subtley-crafted, and broad in scope. Joyful and bright at times -- deep and dark at others. Stirring, original -- epic. Truly defies any categorization. My first listen created a powerful experience. Finally -- a real breath of fresh air. Highly worthy of a wide audience!

    This music is a bridge to your subtle hidden self. Not to be listened to while operating heavy machinery (unless you're a master).

  • an amazing masterpeice. a peaceful guide into the inner realms.
    author: Lindsay

    the ebb and flow of this albulm has brought me on many multideminsional journies. everytime i sit down to listen again, i am taken to a new place. The music guides me, and at times follows me into different realms. an unbelievalbe masterpeice.

  • may be the best work of its kind .. must listen!!!
    author: Don Ponasai

    immense themes, beautifully concieved, dynamic and varied, crossing a wide expance of moods. A deeply imaginative and moving work. A must have for mystics and passionate listeners
