QUIESCENCE: A WORLD AT PEACE
by AMBERFERN (0046286303022)

The term "quiescence" implies relaxation; the act of letting go and embracing the serenity of being at rest. That's exactly the mystique that Amberfern captures with the gorgeous music on this album. Soft and lulling, the instrumental pieces offer a blend of keyboards, flutes, piano, guitar and subtle drum beats. It's an album that travels the world, interweaving elements from different musical cultures, while maintaining a smooth, blended sound.

For example, "Bedouin Sunrise" has a subtle Turkish flair, noted through the use of breathy flutes and shimmering lute strumming, or "Dharamsala," which is rooted in the sounds of the Far East. From English country gardens to the plains of Africa, Amberfern pairs the exotic essence with soothing new age music to create a world you would like to escape to.
