Laughing Buddha CDs

Brand New from Laughing Buddha Records
The Healing Stream
Haley Ackerman

See Haley's Video

The music of the harp, one of the oldest instruments on earth, seems to resonate from some deep, hidden world, and the instrument and player are inviting us in. The music on The Healing Stream creates a warm, welcoming place in which to bathe our souls. The songs use various modes and scales to create a wide palette of sound, and are all reflective of the natural beauty for which they are named. Relaxing, rejuvenating and just plain beautiful, this album is a treat for mind body and spirit. Use it for listening. Use it for meditating. Use it for healing.

A Portion of the proceeds from this CD will be donated to Seva's Native American Diabetes Wellness Program.

Using this new release as a model, the label intends to continue releasing music that will benefit humanitarian and environmental causes.

Night Wheel features Michael Barry, director of the International Studio of Music, home of the legendary American Institute of Guitar, on a variety of guitars from acoustic to baritone. He is joined by a collection of New York musicians on instruments ranging from bamboo flute to cello and mandolin. While soothing and relaxing for the very young, the album also provides a unique listening experience for moms and dads, as the music transports the listener with instruments and musical imagery suggestive of the lands from which these songs have come.
