Each album was originally
composed around a central symbolic vision where each passage
was mapped out as a topography and constructed to carry the
listener on a step by step transformational journey
This musical story,
together with the symbolic theme, was then the basis for the
new cover designs, bringing the imagery into a fully visual
format that offers the listener another level of experience.
Finally, the guided
visualisations was written to complement the musical story and
reinforce the imagery evoked by the soundspace as well as the
symbolic cover artwork.
The two album packages
offer the listener the option: explore a profound and inspiring
musical soundspace supported with spoken guidance that brings
the whole experience to life or listen to the music soundspace
on its own.
Eventually, after
becoming safe and comfortable with the journey and understanding
what is possible, the listener can explore the soundspace without
the spoken guidance and experience their own spontaneous imagery.
The 'music only'
album is excellent for therapy, meditation, massage, relaxation,
Tai Chi, for any healing and transforming process or just for
easy listening pleasure. The written visualisations are available on each album's close up page..
The music and the
guided visualisations, while predominately soothing, subtle
and relaxing, are not the 'pretty pan flutes and sweetness'
style. The Japetus albums are serious ambient,
healing visualisations and soundspaces for doing inner journey work
through a range of elements, colours, imagery and archetypes.
These music soundspaces
and visualisations are designed to provide a creative atmosphere
for guided visualisations, massage, meditation, healing, float
tanks, counselling, yoga, Tai Chi, children's sleep music/story,
birthing and re-birthing or just relaxing easy listening. The
one hour duration and the guided visualisations are an advantage
to practitioners and to their clients, in that they can play
the 'music only' album to go on a musical journey and also use
it as background to treatments.
With the visualisations
album, clients can experience a visionary guided story full of
imagery as part of a meditation or deeper healing session. Each
album takes the listener on a varied and colourful topography
with sections that soothe, that build, and that give way to
inspiring spaces in a challenging and unfolding journey. Most
albums have two 30 minute continuous tracks that contain up
to 5 or 6 sections, with each section blending together without
a break.
