The music is inspired by nature, reflecting
the sounds of birds, insects, rivers, and wind, which change
in quality depending on the hour of the day. Ragas also imitate
temple gongs, whose tonality is altered by daily changes in
temperature and atmospheric pressure.
The cycle of the day is similar to the cycle
of life. Each hour represents a different mood - a different
state of being. Listening to music that is synchronized with
the sympathetic overtones of the season, time, and hour of
the day makes us flow in harmony with our natural environment,
saves energy, regulate our moods, and enhances our enjoyment
of life.
Compositions planned and designed by Harish
Johari and directed by Jagdish Mohan.

ATTUNEMENT AT DAWN
Disk one includes Flute for Dawn, ideal for
meditation before sunrise, and Tambura for Morning Meditation,
which can be played in the early hours following sunrise.
These compositions produce a very tender, calming, and refreshing

DISK TWO
ATTUNEMENT AT DUSK
Disk two includes Flute and Bird for Dusk,
incorporating actual bird calls that, in nature, announce
the close of day. This composition inspires feelings of joy,
confidence, satisfaction, inspiration, and the calmness of
moonlight. Listening to it improves mental and physical health
and relieves stress. The droning sound of the tambura in the
final piece, Tambura Evening Meditation, has sympathetic overtones
that subtly influence the nervous system. This composition
produces a meditative mood and brings about improved mental
and physical health. It is based on Raga Bhupali, a raga of
cosmic movement that expresses harmony and contentment, perfection,
satisfaction, and devotion.
