Brian Hand: Reviews

YIELD TO THE PRESENT

This music takes you to the deepest essence of yourself. It originates from the center of stillness and silence where Brian finds the source of his music. Brian plays for the present moment, never knowing what's coming, always feeling what's here and now and expressing it. It's healing, relaxing, and absorbing, creating an environment of ease and pleasure on which you can float.

A beautiful offering for the depth of the heart, evoking a mood of presence and peace compelling enough to clear the mind. It is music to be experienced as much as it is to be listened to.

As a terminally ill hospice patient I have been graced by this music. My spirit soars as each note penetrates my body with pain relieving bliss. I am grateful for Brian's compassionate skill.

Very conducive to deep relaxation and encourages concentrated listening. Meditation music that pulls you into present time easily and softly.

Listening to this music is a restorative journey through a variety of sounds. I recommend it to anyone seeking wellness and peace of mind.

FROM OUT OF NOWHERE

These poems open the ears and the eyes, tell tender and honest truths to the soul. Words come out of that spaciousness which rings of mystery. They join voices with the wisdom and ecstacy poems of Persia, India and Japan.

HAND ROLLED

These improvisational compositions express Brian's love of all music, especially jazz, African, and sacred music. He leads and follows himself, weaving the sounds of a wide variety of instruments from around the world, into music that defies strict classification or category. Each musical moment is at once an expression and a discovery.
