about

_____________________________________________________

"The Body Begins" (2012) is Chris' seventh release. It's a 60 minute set of seven meditative, minimalist works for classical guitar & occasional synth.

This record came about through talks with New York-based massage therapist Gwen Guarino (www.gwendolynguarinolmt.com), specifically about composing a new kind of music inspired by body-work and massage and how it unlocks emotions in the body.

What resulted was something that is not mood music, or massage music per se. It's a collection of seven spacious, ambient works flowing with subtle tension & slow melodic development. These songs are made to bring you to the present moment. And while this collection is relaxing and can be heard as background or used to accompany therapy, it's meant to be heard as music first.

**Played on WFMU (wfmu.org), June 2013
