Album Notes

Transcendental speaks for me. It talks about the process of creating music at the moment, without linear thinking, or judgment.It is beyond any conception of composition. My heart catches the feeling, I observe and am conscious of the sensations in my body. Then, the sounds manifest!

I experience that my soul is free, connected with the Universal Source. I am alive at the present moment. There is no past or future. The whole life exists there, at that moment. All times are on One Unique moment.
Everything manifests as vibrations. Vibrations build and create form. I just observe. This is Art!

My music is a vibrant and inspiring creation at the moment of the performance. What guides my imagination? The sensations my body feels and senses from the sounds, and how energy travels through my body, creating sensations and movements that express themselves in sounds.

My acausual mind talks through my body, intuitively. There is no linear road; it is just a vibration at the present moment. I feel that I am complete and reaching the Source of the Universe, the Creative Source, my inner God and Master.

I don't create since Something is the creator. It is not something that I plan how to do. I have intention, and Something manifests. I am an instrument who delivers this experience for you. I invite you to listen, sense, and feel this experience with me: how to connect to the Omnipresent Source and be able to create ourselves.

REVIEWS

Each song is an emotional journey, a holistic and metaphysical experience
author: Vision Magazine
                            
If you were brought up on classical music and have a love for the complex sounds of a piano, this album is for you. Each of the eight tracks is filled with the tinkling and depths of piano keys. But unlike the classical sounds of say Beethoven or Bach, the songs have a holistic, metaphysical edge to them. Each song is an emotional journey. As a classical pianist from Brazil, Maria Alice is intuitive and creative in her work, mixing jazz, as well as eastern influences with her classical training. Also look for her first album Metamotphosis.

The experience of having arrived. Peace.
author: Bernie Sirelson
                            
Transcendental is, for me, an arrival. The exploration was started in Metamorphosis, and now we get to play in the light. The piano playing expresses Maria Alice's virtuosity, yet has no pretentiousness. Her fingers bring to life a view of the Universe where we see the pulsing, vibrating strings of reality, never the same, always moving just out of sight. Melodies and rhythms offer themselves and then dance away out of our grasp, only to return when least expected, yet at the perfect time. Listening to this CD is to dwell in the transcendence that we achieve through life's experience and teaching. The never ending quest takes a deep breath here.
