Dan H. Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) What is your definition of New Age music?If you mean like, ambient jazz or something like that, I would say Brian Eno. Edited January 19, 2014 by LiveFromNormal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsh327 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 It's a silly classification...new age...ambient... whatever you want to call it. Short list: Andreas Vollenweider, Jon w/ Vangelis, Kitaro, R Carlos Nakai, Jean Luc Ponty. We should include Ulrich Schnauss... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Name is Trinity Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 What is your definition of New Age music?wikipedia :New-age music is downtempo music intended to create artistic inspiration, relaxation, and optimism. It is used by listeners for yoga, massage, meditation,[1] and reading as a method of stress management[2] or to create a peaceful atmosphere in their home or other environments, and is often associated with environmentalism and New Age spirituality.[1]The harmonies in new-age music are generally modal, consonant, or include a drone bass. The melodies are sometimes recordings of nature sounds and used as an introduction to a track or throughout the piece. Pieces of up to thirty minutes are common.New-age music includes both electronic forms, frequently relying on sustained synth pads or long sequencer-based runs, and acoustic forms, featuring instruments such as flutes, piano, acoustic guitar and a wide variety of non-western acoustic instruments.Vocal arrangements were initially rare in new-age music but as it has evolved vocals have become more common, especially vocals featuring Native American, Sanskrit, or Tibetan influenced chants, or lyrics based on mythology such as Celtic legends or the realm of Faerie.

My Name is Trinity Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 Are you heeding the advice from the UYI warning sticker? hehei was thinking about that sticker when i madethis thread.it's kind of ironic that axl made fun of new-age music in that sticker knowing what would happen later with yoda and the sedona experience which is something that belongs to the new-age spirituality.

GivenToFly Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 There's a 90s album by Enigma called Cross of Changes that I like. It has Return to Innocence (a moderately famous song) on it. They lyrics are as crap as you'd expect, but the music is quite good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
