Album Notes

IT'S TIME TO "GO GREEN" WITH THE MUSIC OF "FREE-LIFE" SHASHANA & ROLANDO AND THEIR "GARDEN MUSIC" CD! WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO: "FREE-LIFE" is the improvisational husband and wife team—SHASHANA & ROLANDO (aka The Antonelli Duo)—keyboard/synthesizer and guitar/guitar synth. We perform in a Classically based SMOOTH JAZZ, WORLD BEAT, and NEW AGE style. Utilizing this style, we have created with this CD, original "Garden Music"—composed for the plants, flowers, shrubs, and trees in your garden to help them grow and flourish more productively. But more importantly, this music can also be enjoyed by everyone who appreciates soothing, meditative melodies as well as up-beat rhythms and smooth, mellow jazz. The guitar playing technique is in the tradition of PAT METHENY and ACOUSTIC ALCHEMY; the classical violin/cello synth sound is in the style of YO YO MA; and the overall ambient world/earth music sound is in the style of SECRET GARDEN. It's as if Pat Metheny and Acoustic Alchemy me

REVIEWS

Created for plants, GARDEN MUSIC is also delicately soothing for humans.
author: Rebecca Johnson
If you enjoy guitar, piano, organ, cello and violin, then I think you will enjoy the soothing comfort as you float away on rivers of melodious meditations. If you enjoy music by Yo Yo Ma, Secret Garden, Pat Metheny, Acoustic Alchemy, of music by French Impressionist composers like Satie and Faure, then you will appreciate the smooth jazz sounds blended with a classical appeal.

The soul is nourished, the heart expanded, and consciousness raised.
author: Chic Katherman, Founder and Director of Avalon Services Network
SHASHANA & ROLANDO skillfully employ musical rhythms, tones, instruments, and vocalizations to interact with the physiological activity of the body. Their music seems to be almost intrinsic to our nature (and to the nature of plants and all growing, living things). SHASHANA & ROLANDO'S voices and instruments meld to create sacred sounds of healing for not only the plants, flowers, shrubs, and trees in the garden, but also for each (human) listener. THE SOUL IS NOURISHED, THE HEART EXPANDED, and CONSCIOUSNESS IS RAISED by the resonance of their music. I can wholeheartedly recommend to you both the music and the performance on the GARDEN MUSIC CD by "FREE-LIFE" as an asset to not only your own healing, but to the healing of the organic world of plants and flowers as well.

A wonderful, calming CD
author: Stephanie
This CD is wonderful. I have it in a 5 CD changer in my greenhouse. Everytime it cycles to Garden Music, someone seems to comment how great it is. Thank you, it is a pleasure to be around when it is playing.

I recommend this CD for anyone facing anxiety or fear
author: marilyn
I'm living with terminal cancer now, and so I have been collecting the music, art and care which will help me face the uncertainties, and my anxieties and fears, with greater courage. The Garden Music CD is so life-positive -- I know others will feel the same, whether or not they are making such a difficult journey.
