anonymous Welcome to everyone! January 09, 2006 9:00 AM

Mari and I have created this group as a forum for the discussion of "new age" musicians and singers. If you are new here, please state the following:
  • Your name
  • Your favorite new age artist(s)
  • Your definition of "new age" music.
The last point is especially important because I myself have never read an exact definition anywhere, but we seem to "know" new age music when we see it.

My turn:
  • Dale Husband
  • Vangelis, 2002, Cusco
  • Any music that is made by people as an expression of their spiritual side, whthout regard for any popular appeal or personal profit. Thus, I see new age music as simular to classical music, but newer and not so well known.

Hi, Thank you for the invite , Dale!  I just love Kitaro.  I love the sounds of the seasons, what they label, pagan or new age.  Kitaro is just one of my favorites.   [ send green star]

Credit goes to Dale! He had a beautiful idea My favorite is Enya I love her.

I write new age poetry & songs. If I am able to share what do I do just start a thread?

I try to make my creations universal so that anyone can feel what I am sending out. Creating these works are very Spiritual to me & they are not edited or controled by an editor.

I think it's important to let yourself go and to just be who you are without fear. I believe this happens when I write lyrics and create. I am going into my most deepest but also personal feelings & thoughts.

While I have no music to go along with my Creations yet. The music is very much alive inside my head.

Love & Light

Mari

The only cd I have that's classified as 'New Age' is Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells - so this will be a learning curve for me

Btw - thanks for the invite Dale!

Take care all,

Hello everyone,

  Well I am not very good at posting this kind of stuff. But I'll give it a try.. My name is Gale and I am a New Age Recording Artist.

My Favorite Artist? Well, besides myself would be my inspiration and friend "Carol Nethen West". She is good people and one heck of an Artist.

Explain New Age Music is not easy because, there are over 23 sub-categories from Mood, Ambient, Easy Listening, etc... I will say this. New Age Music is the type of melodies that change within a song to bring fresh visions to the listerner.

I'll try to stay on top of this group.. Thanks everyone.

hugz,

Gale

Just found your group. 

Erika S.

Enigma is #1 for the past 11 years w/ me.

New age music is something you feel inside -- really stirs up the spiritual side.

Peace

Just Came Across This Group July 05, 2007 8:24 PM

Came across this group via Dale.

I still enjoy Vangelis, but I am embarrassed to say that my Vangelis collection is all in vinyl.   I am looking for new new age sounds.  What new age means to me is a spiritual music that helps you to look both inside and outside of yourself.  Something that taps into something both ancient and new in all of us.

Well, my name is Luigi. My fav New Age artists? Very long list, so I name only some of them. Eno, Vangelis, Jarre, Kitaro, Era, Enigma, Schultze, Liquid Mind, Oldfield, Marcomé etc. I really love all of them, because each has own style, creativity and sound.
The third question is not easy to answer. In my opinion New Age music is a particular way to express something of spiritual and mystic you want to communicate through the music. I think that it's easier trying to define the varous New Age subgenres (for instance Light Ambient, Dark Ambient, Ethereal, Atmospheric etc.)

Greetings,

Luigi
