Peter Haeder's melodic layered guitars transport the listener into a place of mystery and myth. A long-time Buddhist and meditator, Peter is a multi-instrumentalist whose music lyrically and emotionally evokes his spiritual aspirations. Performed with mastery and passion, Emerald lifts classical, flamenco and jazz guitar into a higher realm.
Â"What matters most to me is the spirit of the music. For me, music has to have emotional depth, and take the listener on a journey. I also employ musical colours and modes that I hope will be beneficial to the listeners- own inner state." - Peter Haeder (Germany/NZ)

This is not the kind of CD you'll put on to sit and listen to, but if you're looking for something to have on in the background while you study, meditate or just relax, it's a winner. A very clever combination of electronic instrumental work and traditional throat singing, I enjoyed it but it will never have high rotation on my CD player. Having said that, it's worth having, because as a "new age" CD it's one of the best, and we all need to stop, relax and find ourselves.

This is the other "two for the price of one" CD offerings from Peter Haeder.
The other being "Singularity" - see 'related links' below - and the other album to catch the ears of the ladies with whom I work. Pleasing any number of people musically is always going to be a challange, and this CD passed that challange with flying colours. It was an instant success.
We rarely get customer comments about any of the music we play, and this CD attracted the most comments of any CD I have played. EVER.
This album is a joyful mix of tracks, that shows that the ablum description for once, is accurate and not just marketting hype.
All tracks were enjoyed as an ambient music for the shop that was never distracting, and just added to the relaxed atmosphere we have in the shop, at times bordering on a relaxation CD, without the extraneous whale-song, waterfalls or other organic sounds. This CD did all that on pure talent and muscianship.
At a two-for-one deal, you can have two great albums to your collection for one low price.
