Peace & Quiet is a superb compilation of relaxing music tracks released by Japetus over the last 20 years. These compositions are ideal for use with any positive healing process including massage, counselling, tai chi, yoga and various types of therapy.
This blissful music can also create a restful sleep environment for people of all ages to help support a stress-free lifestyle. The music is rich and colourful providing inspiration for guided meditations. It can be played very quietly during study or at work and still have a positive influence even at low volume.

REVIEWS...
ART OF HEALING magazine February 2004
Peace & Quiet is the perfect music for your guided meditation. Japetus has taken the best music from a 20 year career and remixed it to create a deliciously relaxing flow of tranquillity. Every track oozes peace and quiet. There are two CDs in the set - the first 'Peace' has the moving and relaxed tracks, whilst the second CD 'Quiet' has the still and relaxed pieces. If you like background music that sets the true tone of tranquillity, then this double CD is a must-have for massage, studying, driving cars and meditations.
BYRON SHIRE ECHO newspaper October 2003
Peace & Quiet is the kind of music which should be listened to when you are naked, lying on a table covered in oil, being worked on by your masseuse. This is the perfect soundtrack for breathing and getting in touch with that deep quiet within, perhaps a spot of yoga... a perfect accompaniment to those extended tantra sessions... it's like having your psyche teased with a feather... perfect for conflict resolution sessions, perhaps in court and even better... in council chambers to enhance the likelihood of thoughtful decisions.

JAPETUS BIOGRAPHY...
Vibratory worlds
"I was born in Sydney and taught myself to play a variety of instruments including drums, guitar and keyboards, as well as singing and composing. I combined these skills into audio/visual production and worked for several years as an audio/visual producer. To assist in my desire to be a recording artist, in 1980 I set up my own recording studio and began creating songs and experimenting with sound.
Spiritual paths
Along the way, I stumble upon the practice of meditation, gathered information on various spiritual paths and gradually came to understand the importance of a higher more universal awareness. As this new perspective of life grew within me so, correspondingly, my interest in traditional pop music began to diminish, and I found myself working in a more instrumental vein.
Framework
Since 1983 I have composed 13 inspiring albums (plus one compilation) and released them through my own record label. These titles are an evocative and colourful collection which present a musical framework for exploring the vibratory worlds of imagination and sound for the purpose of self discovery, meditation and healing.
Synthesis
Although I have focused on music, as a synthesist in the broader sense, my talents manifest across a wide range of mediums including video, cooking, writing and graphic design. To support one of my best-loved albums, Visions Of Paradise, I filmed and produced a video of magnificent natural vistas, rivers and sunsets, creating an audio visual healing experience. This has wide applications in most therapeutic areas as well as in the home and workplace.
Live
In 1988, I performed as part of the Earthlink 88 tour and have since made public appearances at various centers around Sydney, such as The Opera House boardwalk and Darling Harbour. I have also performed as a musical support for healing workshops and conferences on metaphysics.
Commissions
In 1985, Nevill Drury asked me to produce a series of three albums of inner space music to accompany his book for release in Germany. Over recent years, I have worked with Denise Linn (USA) and Jo Buchannan (Aust) on guided visualisation tapes, produced a soundtrack for a movie 'Into The Light', recorded and produced a series of Tibetan Buddhist practice tapes, and supplied music exclusively for the National Federation of Healers Inc (Australia) guided visualisation tape. In 1996, I was commissioned to create the title theme and incidental music for the TV series 'Yin, Yang and You' already shown to over 60 million viewers on NBC Asia as well as The Middle East, America and South Africa. The show has since been sold around the world.
Conclusion
Life is not a monotone. Life is full of colours and sounds and symbols of all different vibrations. Our duty is to develop a focused consciousness and navigate our way back from the lowest to the highest. From manifestation, bridging back across to the all encompassing nothingness. In today's society it is easy to recognise the need for healing in any form, and these musical soundspaces and visualisations, the visionary artworks, the video and workshops, all offer a way of discovering a more subtle and wholistic sense of self."
