Album Description

As we explore the depths of our "self", our "souls", through massage, relaxation, and other healing modalities, we gain experience and knowingness. The music from Detaching The World Vol. 1 is a transient, which allows for this knowingness to occur in a peaceful, tranquil, and comforting environment.

This CD has been created to provide over 60 minutes in running time without the use of vocals or percussion. Emil Gagliardi has introduced a new style of guitar called "The Nuit's Effect" named after its rich soothing textures and deep earthy tones. From the opening cut of "Tranquil Sunrise", Gagliardi's swirling guitar immediately sets the perfect mood for massage and relaxation. The density of "The Valley Beyond" swallows you up in a tapestry of color similar to a warm blanket while the hauntingly beautiful "Fallen Angel" resembles a fresh new day after a storm.

Gagliardi's vision of creating the perfect massage and relaxation music sets Detaching The World (Vol. 1) apart from all others. Its purpose is to serve gentleness and ease like the inhalation and exhalation of the breath.

Customer Reviews:

***PERFECT FOR MASSAGE - BEAUTIFULLY RELAXING***.......2007-08-01

I originally discovered the music of Detaching the World at the Canyon Ranch in Tucson. After having one of the most cleansing deep tissue massages ever, I fell in love with the music of Vol. 4 and started to incorporate it into my massage practice. Needless to say, the music has been a success with myself and my clients ever since.
I was recently given Detaching the World Vol. 1 as a present by one of my regulars who happens to also love this music. I couldn't believe what I had been missing!!! I just started using it on a few clients and already people are melting away with the beautiful touch of this music. Everything about this CD is perfect for massage:

- The length (60+ mins, most of my clients are an hour long)
- The flow (a slow yet even match with my hands)
- The volume (the consistency remains throughout the disk)
- The sound (beautiful layered textures of music, apparently guitar)
- The quality (100%)
- The happiness from my clients (they look refreshed and comment positively to the music)
- My happiness as a therapist with this music (100%)

For me, this CD is a gold mine compared to my other relaxation CDs. Like Vol. 4, Vol. 1 is a keeper and will not leave you or your clients disappointed. Don't pass this one up!

Detaching the World Vol 1.......2007-06-27

I purchased this CD based on the reviews alone,In comparison to other meditation Cd's I own; this CD ranks far below.The music is in my opinion anything but relaxing.Not suitable for meditation.

Promising Debut by Ambient Guitarist Emil Gagliardi.......2007-05-23

Although guitarist Emil Gagliardi's debut CD was designed for massage, meditation, and relaxation, it is much more than that. The ambient release features soothing, New Age-style synthesizer sounds generated entirely by Emil's electric guitar. The result is not only a great therapeutic tool, but also a legitimate work of sonic art in the vein of Andy Summers' classic ambient guitar album, Mysterious Barricades. Emil Gagliardi is a guitarist to keep an eye out for. [...]

I have other "relaxing" CDs that really don't do the job. This one does. I actually bought it to listen to while I had some dental work done and it was very helpful!

I got this gift for my boss since he is always so stressed. He closes his door sometimes and pops in the Cd to relax. Thanks!

Album Description

In the second installment of the series, Connecting The Universe Music has released a new relaxing journey with Detaching The World Vol. 2 - Ambient music for massage/relaxation/meditation. Through exploration of the unconscious, this music was designed as an offering by the artist to bring about complete relaxation to the listener. It allows for the unknown self to awaken and remember with comfort and ease.

Musician and creator Emil Gagliardi brings to us nine new tracks with Vol. 2. This CD provides over 63 minutes in running time without the use of vocals or percussion. As the opening track "Peaceful Country" begins, Gagliardi's unique and inimitable style of ambient guitar immediately sets the tone for a tranquil relaxing atmosphere. On "Mirror", you feel yourself sinking deeper into the gentle hands of what the artist calls "The Nuit's Effect" while "The Fellowship" and "The Fellowship Reprise" are a meditation of three soothingly calm guitars journeying to the mystical unknown. "Hawaiian Compressions" is a three piece composition symbolizing the warming atmosphere of the sun while gently slipping into the earthy picturesque tones of "Healing Within". The last track, "Pulse", is the capture of a meditation right outside the artist's home where the ocean, mountains, and sky share one relaxed and rejuvenated heartbeat.

Emil Gagliardi continues to provide seekers of total relaxation with his unique and one of a kind style of music. As heard in the bestselling Detaching The World Vol. 1, his devotion to creating serene music for the healing arts goes unsurpassed by his peers. His music bestows upon the listener gentleness and ease like the inhalation and exhalation of the breath.

Customer Reviews:

Ambient Guitarist Emil Gagliardi Dazzles on Second Album.......2007-05-23

Emil Gagliardi shows what he's made of in this spectacular follow-up. Laying down atmospheric riffs and hypnotic patterns against a backdrop of lush guitar-generated textures, Gagliardi creates canyons of sound that seem to come from the heavens and reverberate across a vast stretch of land beneath a starry expanse of sky. Combining the guitar stylings of Andy Summers, Robert Fripp, Allan Holdsworth, and even George Harrison, Gagliardi forges a unique and unparalleled style all his own. [...]

serene ambient guitar to help aid a stressful mind.......2004-10-27

Lately I've been submerging myself in yoga, morning meditation, T'ai Chi, and massage therapy to help my mind, body and spirit cope with the loss of a loved one. My sister (who raves about this artist) gave me this cd on my birthday in hopes that it would aid through the grieving process and help me relax.

Soon after my birthday, I finally had an afternoon to do nothing but try and unwind. I took my portable cd player outside with this cd and lied in my hammock. A few minutes after hitting play, I closed my eyes and had the most intense visualizations. It was as if each note from this music embraced my soul and projected a movie of warmth and comfort in my eyelids.

A few hours went by as I lay in my hammock listening to this cd repeat over and over. The calming effects of this music, combined with the hammock, had relaxed me beyond words. It was as if the stress detached my world (no pun intended).

As I look through the liner notes, I notice that this entire cd was created with guitars. Never in my life have I heard guitar sound so angelic and peaceful. All of this cd is great, yet the piece of music that comforts my heart the most is Pulse. Pulse has a calm heartbeat sound with this airy guitar melody that dances gently through the notes. Absoulutly beautiful!

I am bringing this cd to my next massage appointment in hopes that my therapist too will feel the heavenly ambiance that this music provides.

My client's favorite pick for bodywork!.......2004-06-06

Just got volume 2. Delicious! What an encore. Nicely divergent from Volume 1. It seems to be more 'grounded' than the prior work but still retaining the flavors of space. You can tell this artist respects the delicate atmosphere needed for massage. This cd is successful with a client who is beyond picky with his musical choices during our sessions. Muchas gracias!

the most creative musical journey.......2003-12-15

Having had so many incredible experiences listening and working with Detaching The World Vol. 1, I purchased Vol. 2 without hesitation. Although different from the first CD, the musicians style of meditative guitar transforms me and resonates with me similiar to Vol. 1. It seems as if the music puts me in a trance sending me to another place - a place where everything is calm and nothing can go wrong. My thoughts disappear and I capture the importance of being in every moment. This CD is mellow enough for deep relaxation yet also great music to play in the car on a long roadtrip. Either way it is definitely a journey that everyone should experience. I also find it important to listen from beginning to end without stopping - each track almost leads you to the next. It's as if a story is formed in track 1 that sends you wanting to know more in track 2. This continues until the "grand finale" which is a "heartbeat"-like song - sending you immediataly inward on your own journey. This is a beautiful CD.

Bach for Relaxation.......2007-03-09

This is a great CD of instrumental Bach music. I listen to it very often

Peaceful and Beautiful.......2002-11-01

I have purchased this CD twice, first for myself to listen to during labor and secondly for a friend who has a new, very stressful job. I love the music on this CD, it is wonderfully played and listening it to it during labor was very helpful and uplifting. Now both my daughter and I enjoy listening to it, and during fussy days it calms her down a bit, which is very nice. The music truly brings on a serene feeling without making one sleepy, which means its great for anytime you just need to relax yet stay alert. I'll be giving it to my friend for the holidays, and I'm sure she'll love it as much as we do.

Bach to knit up your raveled sleeve of care.......2001-12-19

What better way to begin 'Bach for Relaxation' than with "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring." This CD is not dumbed-down Johann Sebastian Bach just because it advertises itself as relaxation music (which was my initial fear before purchase). Good orchestras and soloists perform the nineteen well-chosen chamber works, ranging from the deceptively simple "Prelude in C" from "The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book 1" (Sviatoslav Richter, piano) to selections from the powerful Brandenburg Concertos.

This is Bach in his most serene, mathematically perfect form. None of his mighty organ or choral works will disturb your contemplative mood as you drift through the sixty-eight minutes of this CD.

I'm usually asleep by track fifteen, the adagio from "Concerto for Flute, Violin & Harpsichord BWV 1044."

Another very good CD in this 'relaxation' series from BMG RCAVictor is "Cello for Relaxation."

My favorite..........2000-11-21

This is one of my favorite classical CD's. It is a composition of soft, calmer Bach, and is perfect for almost any occassion. This is a great CD for first time classical listeners or long time fans ... It functions as perfect dinner background music, or to listen to alone. I highly recommend this compilation of Bach.

Wonderful for baby!.......1999-12-04

We received this as a baby gift and it has been a godsend. Our newborn relaxes to the sound of this when nothing else works. We also love it for ourselves; the CD contains the best of Bach's less fiery works, and the musical interpretation and recording quality are outstanding.

Bought this for my husband who enjoys this type of music for relaxation- He loves it

So Soothing.......2006-12-28

This CD is so soothing that I have yet to hear the entire CD! I turn this CD on before I go to bed at night and am relaxed and sleeping before more than three songs have played. I'm not a musician so I cannot write about melodies or tempos or even the accuracy of the interpretation... I understand none of those, but I do know that I love playing this CD every night as I drift off to sleep.

An excellent addition to your collection.......2001-08-27

I own quite a few of the ".. for relaxtion" CD's, and this is one of my favorites. Mellow strands of Vivaldi are the perfect reading companion, great study music, and provide an excellent conversation background. This soothing compostion of Vivaldi's works is an excellent addition to any collection, as well as a great place to begin one.

Product Description

Composer and musician Emil Gagliardi presents six soothing new tracks of ambient meditative guitar music for the critically acclaimed Detaching the World CD series. Detaching the World (Vol. 4) provides over an hour's worth of delicately crafted continuous ambient guitar compositions. This CD, as with all CDs released by this artist, contain no: fast tempos, fluctuating volume changes, synthesizers or percussion. This music is meant to embrace the listener's soul with the artist's interpretation of unconditional love (through ambient guitar) for all that choose to seek it. Detaching the World (Vol. 4) is highly recommended for massage and spa, meditation, reiki, hypnotherapy, yoga, relaxation and pure enjoyment. Total run time: 62:20. As Trickle Down begins, an acoustic guitar mimics a gentle mid-winter snowfall while a soft acoustic melody represents the indefinite placement of snowflakes trickling through the sky. Clouds holds true meaning to the name, like a timeless shift of the soul floating seamlessly through eternal atmosphere. The unmistakable trio blend of guitars on the picturesque Midnight Moon carries us deeper into the artist s nightly vision of a full moon evening on the calm sea (see cover photo). Tribute (to Sam and Sammy) is a beautifully acclaimed artist representation of the soul's crossover to the other side. The unfettered Native Land is an offering to the spirit of the Abnaki people who once inhabited the coast of Broad Cove, Maine (where Detaching the World Vol. 4 was recorded). Peace perfectly sums up this recording with intricate layers of blissful harmonic guitar work requesting a prayer for... Detaching the World (Vol. 4) provides massage therapists, yoga enthusiasts, healing arts professionals and seekers of total relaxation with a unique attractive approach to relaxing ambient background music.

Ambient Guitarist Emil Gagliardi Comes Full Circle.......2007-06-25

In the fourth volume of his Detaching the World series, ambient guitarist Emil Gagliardi pulls together the experimental pastiches and sonic vignettes of his previous three installments into a unifying whole, resulting in his first presentation of complete songs with distinct melodies and a beginning, middle, and end. The effects-laden signal processing of Gagliardi's electric guitar fills in the background, while Gagliardi's acoustic guitar expresses his musical musings in the foreground. The artist's future recordings are highly anticipated.

...a CD review from a client's perspective..........2007-05-17

I just came back fresh from my weekly massage session and felt the urge to write a review of Vol. 4, DETACHING the world. DETACHING the world has become a vital element in developing the peaceful and relaxing background setting for my regular weekly massage appointment. I usually play this disc in the car in order to prepare my mind, body, and spirit to fully receive a relaxing massage. Even playing the music for 10 minutes prior to my appointment helps me focus and relax.

Musician Emil Gagliardi has found this magical balance between complexity and simplicity with his composition styling and guitar performance. The intricacy of his music is presented in a rich, beautiful, and relaxed layered sound that isn't demanding or boring. During the massage, it engages me, the client, to focus on the bodywork I'm receiving without any unwelcome interruptions. In the past, I've had therapists use other music that's kind of relaxing but always has that 1 or 2 tracks to offset my center. You won't find this happening on Vol. 4. The music blends together so well that it's hard to tell when one selection ends and the next begins. I do know that from the beginning track to the ending track, the music gets deeper...and deeper...and deeper...kind of like a journey.

The first two tracks (Trickle Down and Clouds) immediately pull my body/mind/spirit into the massage and allow me to focus on the work being given. Midnight Moon, Tribute, and Native Land draws the atmosphere deeper which matches the hands on work perfectly. Honestly at this point in the massage, everything blends in so well together that I'm in another realm. The euphoric Peace wraps up the session and holds the atmosphere in a refreshing relaxed state.

After today's session, my therapist (who also owns this disc) and I briefly discussed how great this music is for massage. I relayed how her touch matches the music and brings out these great visuals and colors. She was telling me how this disc and Vol. 1 are both magical in creating that perfect balance of energy in the room. I couldn't agree more. If you're looking for a new style of relaxing music, look no further... Vol. 4 is magical, beautiful, and very different from the norm.

GET READY TO ENTER A NEW WORLD OF MUSIC FOR MASSAGE .......2007-04-24

I found this cd Detaching the World Vol. 4 at the Canyon Ranch Resort in Tucson. After receiving one of the most cleansing and purifying massages ever (while this music was playing in the background), I couldn't help but think of how wonderful it would be to add this cd to my practice. After my purchase, I listened to it for almost a week strait before returning home and trying it out on clients. As a full time massage therapist, this cd has played during many sessions, providing a peaceful, relaxed setting with the music. As most lmts know, it can be very frustrating finding that happy medium of music that connects clients and therapists. I will tell you that the purifying cleansing deep guitar notes on this cd will not leave you or clients dissapointed. This one's a keeper!

a wonderful addition for relaxing music , for your library........2007-03-26

I love the music of the guitar in this cd, it is just what I need after a hectic day, and when I just want to unwind, and let my mind think beautiful thoughts, and go to a place where I can just let go, and rest.

Not as I had hoped........2007-03-21

Regrettably, I am not qualified to rate this work as I never made it past track 2. I feel obliged to comment however, since there is no opportunity to sample tracks at this writing. If you are attracted to the "no synth" billing , read on. If you like that popular woo wooo woo sound, please disregard my rating and support this artist. Notably, there is a predominant use of electric guitar, manipulated through an amp.( eg: on track 2 a "goosed" sustain rather than a natural decay) I experience this somatically as nauseous and disorienting and would never introduce it to a therapeutic session. That effect-making is not what I anticipate from "ambient" guitar. ( Ambient meaning on both sides or surround sound ) I have been fooled before and was fooled again, but if you want natural acoustics (which I find can offer an opportunity for energetically grounded expansion), I can spare you the disappointment. It only takes a minute or two for a client to say "could we listen to something else?", so 2 tracks is enough for me to base my impression on. I'm resuming my good old practice of choosing not to purchase any cd I have not yet heard . Respectfully~~ Kirsten Wiberg lic.CMT

not very relaxing.......2007-07-17

I was surprised to hear how fast many of the tracks are- not very relaxing in a massage environment.

Absolutely beautiful music!!!.......2006-11-06

This is one of the nicest musical CD's I've ever played for my massage clients! Some of the songs are a little faster than I normally like to play, but all in all, this is some great music!!!

Wonderful relaxing music.......2006-08-31

I bought this cd for my husband who is a massage therapist. It's one of his favorites. Clients enjoy it also. It has a variety of styles that are wonderful variations for guitar.

Good if you like acoustical guitar.......2006-08-03

I enjoy this one for relaxation to acoustical guitar. Not quite as relaxing or long as a CD I bought specifically for massage background music.

Sounds to Soothe and Uplift Your Soul.......2004-04-06

The magical music on this CD will touch the very core of your soul. Brenne's fingers dance over the strings, creating sounds that could only be created by a master guitarist. The songs are beautiful pieces of work; truly inspiring. I use this CD as an accompaniment to my work commute, background music for dinner parties (both group dinners and private dinners for two ;-), and as part of my meditation.

Guitar music.......2007-02-12

This is an amazing CD. I recommend it highly for reading on a rainy day, relaxing, or just reading the paper on a Sunday morning. It's one of my top 10 relaxation CDs.

Great CD all around!.......2005-08-30

I got this CD because I am a massage therapist,and refuse to buy
those cheesey new agey relaxation CD's.I was finally getting a little tired of the bach cello concertos and a couple of other classical recordings that had been deemed "relaxing",and decided to try this one.It is great!I never seem to get tired of it!I have not had a client that didn't love it.Most even ask what it is because they like it so much.Based on the success of this CD,I am going to try the Cello For Relaxation CD in the same series.I hope that it is just as much of a hit!

Wonderfully relaxing!.......2005-05-09

This CD definitely lives up to it's name. Julian Bream's guitar playing is ethereal and leaves your mind in a state of blissful relaxation...A wonderful collection! Well worth the investment!

Very Relaxing, Highly Recommended!.......2005-05-03

Despite a title sure to embarrass any self-respecting music snob, this is no less than a full disc of nicely mastered solo guitar recordings by the great Julian Bream (a string quartet joins Bream on one track). If these pieces could be easily found elsewhere, on albums with more continuity, then this disc wouldn't be worth buying. But probably 40% of the material on this cd can't be found in print, to my knowledge. In particular, the Mompou, Mozart, Llobet, Aguado, Henze, and Diabelli tracks aren't readily available elsewhere as of early 2003. Several of these tracks are nice hefty 6-7 minute pieces. In particular, the beautiful Andante from Diabelli's Sonata, arranged by Bream himself, is worth the purchase price by itself. If you're a Bream fan trying to get beyond his half-dozen easily available cds, add this to your collection.

Brenne shoots.. Brenne scores!.......2007-07-25

Rather than listening, I found letting this music happen to you is like opening a thermos of warm colors, exotic flavors, mysteries and memories. Chris Brenne's new CD is at once calming and evocative, and carries the undercurrent of excitement felt with something new, something coming, something centred. As you bend, lean and press through yoga practice, Brenne's music will swirl around you like leaves in the breeze of a gentle exhale.
Nice Avec Toi is the best release yet from the Swedish Brenne, leave your shoes and your worries at the door and step through the portal of this bard's world. I found myself grateful for the purity of one acoustic guitar, and yet amazed at the kaleidoscope of sound and artistry he produces. Brenne's musical compass on this release wanders through several continents, sewing together influences from Indian to Swedish to Spanish into a unique tapestry of his own creation. He has thoughtfully left some evocative spaces in the music, and a nice blending of distant but sublime vocals of Parul Vakani on several tracks brings a nice sense of space and freedom to the listener. If I come back for another life, I could do worse than being a cat at the Brenne household... stretching my cares away with a grin.

Merci Beaucoup!.......2007-06-07

I am a huge fan of this CD. The music is beautiful and is great to hear at whatever time of day. In fact it's just as enjoyable to listen to during the work day as it is curled up with a hot cup of tea.

The Best YOGA cd ever!.......2007-05-26

This cd is fantastic! So great to practice yoga to or simply just play when you have a dinner party or want to relax.
I highly recommend all of Chris's cds.

Relaxing music at its finest!.......2005-10-14

This is a GREAT 10-CD set!The performances are top-notch, the music is varied, and the feelings engendered are wondrously beautiful.

Very nice set of CD's, very beatiful and relaxing, but don't pay $27, get it for $9 at Sam's Club. I know this will be censored but come on, how can you guys charge those saps that much! Amazon should try to find the best price for its customers, even if it sends them to different vendors. Censoring this message is a crime, DON'T DO IT. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Beautiful, moving music! You'll recognize many of the pieces.......2004-02-24

John Cheng's review, below, said it's "an undeniable bargain," and I whole heartedly agree! I especially LOVE Volume 5. I have a Typing/Resume business, and I listen to Volume 5 ALL the time on my computer while I'm doing my work. It inspires me to be creative and calms me down when I'm stressed.

I would say I've _easily_ listened to Volume 5 at least 100 times, and I'm still not tired of it. That's amazing for me, because I'm also a musician (singer/pianist) and I get bored easily. I actually found the Volume 5 CD at a Thrift store, and loved it so much that I bought the whole set recently. So I've only listened to a few of the other CD's in this set, so far, and they're also great.

This is NOT boring music. My clients and family have heard it also, and they've also mentioned how soothing and wonderful these pieces are. Most of you will probably recognize a lot of these songs! You'll be saying, "OH! I remember THIS one! I haven't heard this for YEARS!!!"

It's well worth the money for 10 very full CD's!!! Try it! You won't be disappointed!

Happy listening!

Meditative, But Not Boring.......2002-06-21

Here's the deal: If you check out the individual CDs of this collection, you'll pay way too much. That said, compare this price, and realize it is a steal at twice the price.

The list of selections is immense. 101 selections. Most of it you've heard before, but that's OK. Despite the various cute names -- quite creative -- "Vol. 9"!... you can load your CD player and enjoy them without feeling a transition of style.

It's true these aren't meditative in the sense of a Gregorian chant. Anyone familiar with classical music will recognize the composers and various movements to know this. What is true is that you can sit down and write Amazon reviews with it in the background quite comfortably. No weird interpretations, just the music as you know it.

It is also meditative in the sense of popping on it your portable player as you go for a Sunday afternoon walk. The music has just the right pacing: no quite aerobics class, but not ready for the office elevator either.

The box and jewel cases are not that flimsy kind of thing often associated with box sets. It sounds silly to review the jewel cases, but I'm frustrated with the ones I've received lately that have no meat to them. This'll do the job.

I fully recommend "Meditation: Classical Relaxation, 10 Volume Set [BOX SET].

A Bargain and Beautiful.......2002-02-28

This is a wonderful collection of some of my most favorite classical selections. Most I already own, but still like having these all together. I could only wish that the recording level was the same for all selections. Yes, some are written to be softer, but I found it often necessary to turn the volume up or down for different selections. But aside from this minor preference, the quality, the choices, and the price are all super.

Simply Wonderful!.......2005-10-09

Are you ever searching for a great, relaxing, classical album that has more than just a single composer such as Chopin or Vivaldi? This is the album for you. Great classical composers all together on one album that can help soothe the day's stresses away. Great from start to finish and one of my favorites in my collection of classical music.

A Fine Way to Spend One's Evening.......2005-06-14

To start, I'll say my family (with the possible exception of my sister) is a fan of classical music. I was raised on Mozart adagios and Beethoven symphonies. When I came across this album in my parents collection not long ago, I began to listen quite avidly to it. The "Air on G String from Orchestral Suite 3, BWV 1068" is quite probably my favorite JS Bach pieces (probably due to its usage in "End of Evangelion") and the "Canon in D" has long inspired emotional scenes in my novels. While I'm sure many disagree, I find other recordings of the piece less emotional from my experience.

I rarely listen to the second half of the CD (my favorites are in the first quarter of the album), but all are relaxing and have excellent tone. The one piece I do not enjoy is the Vivaldi's Lute Concerto in D. For some reason, the sound of a classical guitar doesn't lull me into relaxation.

Overall, a very relaxing CD with great voice.

Nice CD for the office, or the ride home from work.......2005-03-25

A quite nice collection of classical favorites, including Bach's "Air on a G String" played by the ever-talented Academy of St.-Martin-in-The-Fields and Borodin's "Nocturne from String Quartet. Of course they didn't leave out everyone's favorites - Pachelbel's "Canon" and Rachamaninoff's "Rhapsody on a THeme of Paganini" which would alone make this CD worth buying. Nice easy listening for in the car or your office cube.
