Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon turns 37 Wednesday after another year kicking ass on every concept album that came before or after it. The English quartet's sixth studio effort is a seamless masterpiece that cannot be readily sliced and diced into iTunes singles for sale, as the band argues during its ongoing dispute with its record label, EMI. Confidently hop-scotching across the themes of life, death, violence and mental illness - and foregrounding groundbreaking musical experiments in sampling, tape loops and synthesizers - Dark Side of the Moon has continually astounded brains and eardrums since its arrival. While the other epic sonic explorations listed below have challenged the status of Pink Floyd's 1973 record, Dark Side remains Earth's reigning concept album.

Hope this doesn't turn into another Tupac type situation.

Today's Libra full moon is helping out with the official release of my new song "Palisandros" (meaning "Rosewood", one of the main kinds of tonal wood used in traditional instrument-making), which I have been procrastinating for some time now, because of how vulnerable and exposed it makes me feel in a lot of many different ways. First and foremost, singing in my native Cypriot dialect; this is the first song I have written in Cypriot. It brings tears to my eyes every single time. Partly I know why; partly I am waiting to explore.. Secondly, there is nothing fancy about this recording; yet the story is interesting: I conceived the melody 3 years ago while rehabilitating from a knee surgery and being hosted in Greece by my dear friend & exceptional guitarist Bill Stathopoulos, I wrote the lyrics while trying it on the piano of my brilliant songsister Arianna Tondo ヅ in Italy, I recorded it with special creature's Benjamin Hedengran Andersen classical guitar in a soundproofless hut in India, I used the chimes, rattles, cajon and djembe belonging to multi-talented musician and top-notch father David Esteban, while shooting the video in the wilderness of the Philippines with charismatic and tribal soulsister Dona Tumacder-Esteban, finally mixing and producing it in the company of my dogs in Cyprus. Lastly, I would like to dedicate this song to mother Earth and the four elements. And I would like this song to be a reminder to all of us: That no matter how tough people wish to look on the outside, remember there is a soft, tender and sensitive part somewhere deep inside them, that got trapped there for one reason or another. By all means, it wants to come out. If only we give it a chance, it wants to come out. And each one of us can help somebody else bring their trapped part out and breathe again anew. Each one of us can help another person lift that weight off their shoulders. There is surely a way. Each one of us is a key to unlock the buried stuff lying deep in

On 23rd December 2018, a group of friends & strangers, students & teachers, Europeans & Indians, got together for an experimental, sacred, high-energy JAMily concert at a vegan restaurant in Varanasi, India. This is an excerpt of our language of music! At minute 7, on a totally different context, I was inspired to lay down some vocals with lyrics from the Cypriot traditional song "Ela korou na doume ta mavra sou ta mathkia". The video includes our journey from the guesthouse to the venue with our instruments and our smiles, through holy Ganga river! Besides our Indian Classical Music studies with our masters during our stay in Varanasi that month, we were inspired to put forward a methodological tool, called THE ELEMENT KEY SYSTEM, which is essentially a sign language for musicians to use in order to conduct one another while improvising with music; and expanded to applications to life itself! Stay tuned for more info and Element Key workshops throughout Europe in the summer 2019!

The White Tara is associated with long life. Her mantra is often chanted with a particular person in mind. She's another representation of compassion, and she's pictured as being endowed with seven eyes (at the palms of the hands, soles of the feet, and her forehead) to symbolise the watchfulness of the compassionate mind.

One beautiful night towards the end of August 2020, we gathered together (like in the old times!.. hehe) and co-created another Nectar Night at this amazing family place called Soma in the healing capital of Bali, Ubud. Marlia project invited a number of accredited and talented musicians "on-stage" to accompany Marlia Cœur in guiding the whole spaceship through Middle-Eastern Mediterranean acoustic flavours, odd rhythms, lament melodies, lots and lots of harmonisations, and of course coming together into a single Embrace of Life Celebration and community event.

In this video, Marlia Coeur is back to give you another round of vocal warm-up exercises. This time, she's focusing on humming! By doing vocal warm-up exercises like these, you'll help to improve your vocal technique and increase your vocal range. Plus, humming is a great way to relax your mind and body. Give it a try and see the difference it makes in your singing! HOW YOU CAN BE INVOLVED YOURSELF DURING QUARANTINE LIFE: https://mailchi.mp/c2fd1be7d387/onlin...
