A.M. Yoga Chants: Uses morning ragas beginning with the early hour of prayer known as brahma muhurtam, in India 4:30 A.M.  The dominant style of music featured on this album is Carnatic music.  Two phenomenal artists from Chennai, India, who on tour in the US and Canada, perform on this album.

The violin, which has been adapted to Carnatic music, is performed with intensely emotional nuances similar to Gypsy music. In many instances the performances ended up in multiple harmonies of fourths and fifths.  The two head drum known as the mirudangam and a tiny lizard skin drum (kanjeera)with a tone as mighty as a large gong was used for percussion.  

THE MANTRAS: Many of the chants featured on this album were written specifically for this project. Two powerful mantras, Om Mani Padme Hoom and Sharanam Ananda Satchidananda are arranged with rich choral and orchestral parts.  Two beautiful chants, Shiva Shambo and Govinda Govinda are recorded, the former in a rare morning raga and the latter with a Hindu reggae fee.  Hare Ram Hare Krishna is set to Afro-Hindu rhythms and finally the Guru Stotram is performed to facilitate deep relaxation.
