Featuring two side-long compositions for trombone and synthesizer, the album is intended as an aid for meditation, a guided journey inward towards self-discovery. Before its original release in 1982, Kupka and his wife Nancy took these recordings to relaxation classes and dance studios, field-testing them with participants primed for a meditative experience, and received extensive positive feedback. Like works by contemporaries Michael Stearns, Iasos, and Steve Roach, this is healing music that opens the outer reaches of the mind.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Smithsonian Folkways","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50475205493067,"sku":"1091757","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/8bd697b7-474e-4a22-82d4-75ef459244dc_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727444124","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/crystals-new-music-for-relaxation-2","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
