Sounds from the Circle VII - the Celebrated Annual Compilation of Global Artists - Promotes Over Four Hours of Lush, Culturally Diverse, and Captivating New Age Music.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) July 01, 2015

Doucet says, “Each compilation takes on its own unique feeling, depending on the music submitted and how I am guided to curate it; this one, Volume 7, has a very lush sound to it overall. Since there is not one particular ‘New Age’ sound like in other music genres, our compilations are eclectic, yet carefully sequenced to take listeners on a relaxing sonic journey. When you look at the list of contributing artists, you’ll see that we include top composers from TV and Film, alongside GRAMMY(R) winners, ZMR Award winners and the best developing artists we can find from all over the world.”

Higher quantities of New Age albums than ever are being submitted to the world’s major music awards shows, and, Hilton – a media specialist in the niche — estimates, at least a dozen new media outlets dedicated to the genre have emerged in the last few years.

“New Age music is a very broad genre, and has updated its sound over time; it’s not what most people assume it to be,” Hilton says. “Most of the artists embracing the genre are individuals dedicated to making great music to help others – from either a healing or inspiring perspective – although others simply want to make incredible soundscapes. There is room for everyone. Many use their own time and money, self-publishing and self-distributing, because they can; they’re way ahead of the DIY curve. The best of this music has always been heartfelt, visionary, and painstakingly produced. You’ll hear achingly beautiful acoustic guitar, lush piano, didgeridoo, Native American flute, dulcimer, vocals, electronica, and sweeping instrumental pieces on SFTC7….and more. We’re very proud of these musicians and the music; they work very hard, and they have a lot of talent to share.”

Previous volumes of SFTC were lauded on renowned websites like New Age Music Odyssey, New Age Universe, and chosen as “Albums of the Year” by Reviews New Age and New Age World Music. In recent years, international radio programs such as Radio Despi’s La Otra Orilla in Spain or Radio Plenitude in France have dedicated entire programs to playing the compilation start to finish. Doucet and Hilton say they are eager to provide the compilation to any and all programmers who want copies for airplay and giveaways, available via e-mail request to bethhilton (at) theBcompany (dot) com, subject line: Radio Request.

The 49 participating artists and groups on SFTC VII’s include New Age Music Circle members (in chronological order) Ricky Kej and Wouter Kellerman, Fiona Joy, Minstrel Streams, Bryan Carrigan, Sean Christopher, Lia Scallon, Isadar, Spencer Brewer, Michael Dulin, Sherry Finzer, Jennifer DeFrayne, Pamela Jamian, Rupam Sarmah, Mythos, Lisa Downing, Peter Kater, Kristin Amarie and David Lanz, Denise Young, Anima, Merrill Collins, Bill Wren and Frank Ralls, Mark Pinkus, Tron Syversen, Louis Colaiannia, Michael Hopp and Giuditta, Heidi Breyer, John Morgan, Joniel, Sensitive Heart, Peter Garnvik, Jerry Rockwell, 7and5, J.

This year, several thousands of the compilations are being distributed at music conferences such as MIDEM, the ZMR Awards and INATS, and conscious lifestyle events such as GATE, Sustainatopia, Whole Life Expo, Kirtan Festivals and more. Yoga Centers, massage therapists, office managers, and wellness practitioners who receive the album at such events enjoy the ability to play over four hours of relaxing music from a single CD.

The physical compilations, manufactured by TSI Digital Media, can be played in MP3-compatible CD players or in computer CD-ROM drives, and will download into iTunes. Packaging is a colorful eco-friendly cardboard sleeve with inserts listing each artist’s name, track, album title, cover art, and website address.
