I called her and invited her to record with me. We both knew that it’s rare for a keyboardist and harpist to work together, each typically dueting with a flute or violin or other single note instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut we also recognized our mutual intention to bring more healing music into the world. Since she was beginning work on her first album, we agreed to delay our recording until her album Seapeace was released. We also agreed to record the project in a Los Angeles area studio near her home in Topanga Canyon. In those days, I loaded my Ford station wagon with my Rhodes electric piano, flute, guitar and Echoplex. My concert schedule had me in the area in June, the only open date just happened to be on the full moon in June.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a number of reasons, we decided not to rehearse. We would tune “into the moment” and let the music flow through us. We met in Spectrum Studios, on the shores of the Pacific Ocean in Venice, California. Our improvisations felt like a conversation, with her harp and my electric piano dancing with each other, trading lead lines and accompaniment. At one point, I picked up my flute, and without warming up, recorded one song.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter 3 hours, we thought we were finished for the night, ready to resume the next evening. As we were saying goodbye, a most remarkable thing happened. A chant starting to come up through my vocal chords. No one was more surprised than me.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI looked at Georgia and the recording engineer and said, “It seems we’re not done yet. We need to continue. Here’s the ostinato I need you to play.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd I demonstrated the opening notes you hear on the title track. It was the only specific direction I gave all evening, and Georgia took off from there.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI told the engineer we’d pay him for overtime, and we turned on all the equipment. Of special importance was the Echoplex, which created the special ambience that took my voice into another dimension.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe next thing I knew I was back in ancient Egypt, receiving a vision (and I never had received visions in my meditations before) of being in a ceremony with a number of white-robed participants. I was chanting the mantra based on the five vowel sounds. I had never heard this mantra, nor this melody, but it just continued to unfold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter about five minutes, the experience was over. I looked at Georgia, she looked at me, and we both said, “What just happened?”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe had no answers, but honored the moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe finished the album the next night, and began searching for the cover art. We met the next day at Georgia’s home, and went through hundreds of images. When we got to the image by Sheila Rose: “Memories of Unrecorded Events” we both simultaneously exclaimed, “That’s it.” We knew we had found our cover, and our title.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen the album was released, it was universally well received. The harp has multiple cultural connections to spirituality and healing, as well as to heavenly harps, so it’s not surprising that many reviews referenced that. A review in New Frontier magazine wrote: “Exquisitely beautiful music can transport you back in time to the mystery and magic of ancient Egypt and Greece…or to your own modern temple of inner peace.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeorgia and I, however, decided not to mention the back-story of the title track, and didn’t think–or even talk–about it. Until two years later, that is.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI was performing a concert south of San Francisco, when an obviously upset individual confronted me. He introduced himself as a long-time student of the Rosicrucian spiritual teachings. I’ll never forget what he said to me.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Who gave you permission to use one of our sacred mantras?”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI was stunned for a moment. Then I told him how the music had come through me, without any conscious direction or thought on my part.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere was a moment of silence, and then he smiled and said. “In that case, permission granted. Would you like to perform at our national conference next year?”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat was the validation I needed to make sense of what transpired on that full moon night. When I had the opportunity to visit Egypt in 1980 and 1981, I played this song, on cassette, inside the King’s Chamber of the Great Pyramid. It felt like an amazing homecoming.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI played the cassette for our Egyptian guides, and was invited to a midnight meditation between the paws of the Sphinx. This was another life-changing moment for me, reawakening past memories on the inner planes that has informed and inspired my evolution as an artist ever since.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs many of you will recall, LP vinyl recordings were limited to about 23 minutes per side. When CDs came on the scene, we wanted to add several bonus tracks for added value. The final track, “Oracle at Delphi”, adds the choir sounds I heard in my mind’s eye when the music first arrived, but before the instrument to create those sounds were invented.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeorgia Kelly continued to record until the mid-1990s, when her life shifted focus into the more political and economic arena that she continues today with Praxis Peace Institute. Learn more about her music at GeorgiaKelly.com and PraxisPeace.org\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI’ve just completed the remastering of the ultimate, 35th anniversary collector’s edition of this album. Using the latest software, my engineer and I were able to achieve an even more luminous and transcendental sound. This is especially noticeable on the harp, and in the deeper dimensionality of my voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe also removed the tape hiss of the original recording…and of course, there are no pops and clicks of the original, virgin vinyl LP.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll the music of the original recording is included, with three bonus tracks as well. The ONLY place you’ll be able to hear this glorious album in its latest incarnation will be on my site until it gets posted on iTunes and Amazon.com in the coming months.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCDs will be available for purchase in the near future.

I met her in London in 1977 at the first Festival of Mind, Body and Spirit. The music deserved its own album, to which I added tracks recorded at the world-famous Findhorn Sanctuary in northern Scotland. Peter Caddy, its co-founder, and I had met after my presentation, and he invited me to visit, since I was already in the UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome of the first magical and mystical moments of my recording career occurred while recording this album.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the first Festival of Mind, Body and Spirit in London in April 1977, I met Rose Gladden, the leading psychic healer in the UK. She loved my music, and requested that I compose music as the soundtrack to her guided meditation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen I got home, I purchased one of the first polyphonic synthesizers, which expanded my palette of tones and colors with choir and string programs. Without any rehearsal, I recorded my electric piano listening to Rose’s words. I then proceeded to overdub the choir\/string program. As her guided meditation was ending, the chord I was holding started to fade out. I hoped that it would not end before she did and create a break in the music.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRemarkably, the overdub faded out absolutely perfectly with her voice and my piano. It couldn’t have been better if I had planned it! Recording engineer David Porter, a metaphysical doubting Thomas, was blown away as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis was to be the first of many magical, mystical moments that I would experience in the studio as I recorded music throughout my career. It’s why I have always acknowledged the unseen co-composers and Band of Angels who work with me to manifest the music that defines my career.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe next tracks on Side One completed the soundtrack to her entire spoken meditation. When the recording was done, the voice and music have to be mixed together and became one of Rose Gladdens best-selling meditations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut during the mix down, it was clear that the music had a life of its own. Thus began the first half of my third major album.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecording LIVE in Findhorn Community May 7th, 1977\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn that same first international Festival in London, I met Peter Caddy, one of the founders of Findhorn, along with Dorothy MacLean, Eileen Caddy and David Spangler. Findhorn had become world famous for growing roses in the snow in northern Scotland with the help of Nature devas whose communications and directions accounted their success in growing flowers and vegetables on sandy soil. \u003cbr\u003e Peter invited me to visit, and I gladly accepted. I had some powerful meditations in their sanctuary, which is where I presented my standard slide show that features the music accompanied with a slide projector and slides of the seven pure colors of the chakras.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEverything was proceeding as usual (you can view this chakra meditation on my YouTube channel). As usual, the slides ascended from red, orange, yellow…but when we got to green, suddenly a face appeared on the screen! The audience, and I, gasped. Were the nature spirits saying hello? Was it excess water vapor in misty Scotland? I continued up the colors..blue, indigo, violet. None of these other slides had a face appear. It blew everyone’s mind. I had hoped to record while I was there, to capture some of that remarkable energy of their community, but their recording engineer had not yet returned from the Festival in London. I had a train to catch back to London as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI packed my suitcase and was headed out the door when the engineer arrived two hours early. He quickly unpacked his gear, set up two mics, and with barely a sound check, I recorded 30 minutes of music.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe magic of Findhorn is encoded in the music. At times, you can hear the bird that landed on a branch just outside the window, in the pouring rain. It continued singing, on that branch, as long as I kept playing…When I ended, it flew away! What a wonderful Interspecies jam session: nature spirits I could not see, but could feel, and nature spirits (bird) that I could see and hear. Truly remarkable!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe full recording was made available on my cassette LIVE IN FINDHORN 5 May 1977.
