Chris Conway - Guiding Light (2005)

Multi-instrumentalist Chris Conway branches out from his characteristic new age reveries with an album that delves deep into the sound of ambient relaxation music. According to Conway, the album came to be as part of an impromptu session in which the artist constructed a tranquil atmosphere of candles and incense and let his imagination run wild.
The result, GUIDING LIGHT, features just under an hour of uninterrupted atmosphere music that can be used for inner journeys, meditation practice and relaxation purposes.
Dense, swirling clouds of synthesizer lie at the heart of the album, with low Irish whistle, strings, zither, guitar, temple bells, terracotta bowls and vocal sounds all folded into the mix. The music is very smooth and soothing, with a lightness and vibrancy that makes it appealing for healing work.
