RAIN FOREST MUSIC is a 1995 remake for CD of an album I did in 1981 on cassette and 1982 on vinyl album by the same name. The foundation is set up the same as the vinyl album with a recording of East Texas forest, rainfall, thunder sounds and bird sounds from the Houston Zoo mixed with electronic music. This remake is completely new or rewritten material mixed with newer digital instruments.
It is designed for and will play as one continuous piece of music, the CD does have track breaks.
The instrumentation is two Ensoniq ESQ-M's and a Korg X5DR with Cakewalk Sequencing Software for
composition.
I orginally designed this music to enhance relaxation and meditation, as a background for massage or for counseling to help a person relax and open up faster. Dr. Robert Pennington, PhD., a clinical
psychologist and friend, was very interested in the idea of using music in this way. So he
used the Rain Forest Music in his counseling sessions as background and noticed a marked difference in
the quality of the patient's sessions. He continues to use this and similar music as a
background for his counseling.
