Sound Peace

Holding on to Peace

 

Dear Sequoia Records Tribe,


Just like you, we have been following world events and finding it hard to know how to feel.


There is a sense of wanting to go within, to feel the inner peace of meditation or of creating a peaceful home as a refuge.


But are we being selfish to cultivate peace in our lives when there is so much pain and sorrow in the world?


We have been meditating on this lately as we start to compose our next album.


What we have found is that not only is it not selfish, it’s very important that we all do this.


As more and more of us fill out lives with peace, those waves of peace and love for all beings will radiate out and help to heal the world.


Yes it is important to do what we can do in the realm of action or karma yoga, but even then, we must act from a place of balance and peace.


We can’t wait until the world is a sane and calm place for us to claim peace and serenity in our own lives.


And by not waiting, we are helping that healing and peaceful energy to grow and flourish in the world.


Ever since we started creating music for meditation and healing 40 years ago, we have been sending out musical healing into the world.


You are helping this healing energy grow every time you listen to peaceful music and let your heart become peaceful also.


Join us as we create more healing music and share it through listening and letting it transform your own hearts.

Standing for Love

We Stand with Ukraine

Dear Sequoia Records Tribe,


As we walk the path with the heart together, there are times when we are called to stand for love.


It’s at these times when we look into our hearts and decide who we really are.


Humanity is on a journey from a brutal past to a future where every person has dignity, respect and freedom from oppression.


Nothing can stop us all from succeeding in this because it is the core of who we are as humans.


There is a wave building around the world right now, a wave of love for our fellow travelers on this path, a wave of compassion, empathy and love.


This wave has the potential to wash away more of the divisions of the past and move us towards our brighter future together.


Now is our time, all of us, to stand with this wave and with people everywhere who yearn to be free and free from oppression.


We have been on this path since we first meditated in the forest and felt the inner peace and the truth of universal brotherhood.


It is our hope that our music is adding to the healing and peace in the world.


And we hope that by listening to our music, you can get a little more connection to your own inner peace to help you through times like these.


Right now we are planning some new music with the goal to soothe and heal.We look forward to sharing the first tracks with you.

Heading the Inner Call

Dear Sequoia Records Tribe,


It’s so easy to be absorbed into the busyness, isn’t it?


There is a constant stream of things we need to do in our lives.


Once we begin to catch up then there is always more.


We get pulled into the "doing" and forget to simply "be."


You may notice that this is happening and consider taking a break to walk, to breathe or to meditate.


But even then it’s so hard to detach from the physical, from the material, from the "urgent."


At these times, listen for the inner call.


There is a voice that is beckoning us to stop and go within, to quiet our mind, breathe and let go.


As you start to hear these messages from your higher self, you get better at noticing.


It’s about self-care, self-love, balance and acceptance of "what is."


There is a wonderful sense of peace that will envelope you when you take some time to feel your own inner stillness.


It helps if you have the right music. We have been creating music for cultivating inner peace for 40 years.


In fact 2022 is our 40 year anniversary!


Help us celebrate by listening to our music on your favorite music service, and taking a little time to go within.


We will be celebrating our anniversary by releasing many new songs over the course of the year.

Holding Steady in the Moment

Dear Sequoia Records Tribe,


As we all make our way through news of the virus getting better but then getting worse again, we are reminded of the need to stay in the moment.


If we project future outcomes based on the current view of how things look now, we will lose both our peace of mind and our happiness.


The same goes for other concerns such as climate change or the state of our democracy.


Just as the river is constantly flowing and changing so is the nature of our shared reality.


As we are pulled into the drama of life, let’s remember take some slow deep breaths and feel the deep peace of the present moment.


When you feel yourself pulled into thinking of the future, remember to return to the now and inner stillness.


We have been recording music to help ourselves and others do this since we began.


Listening to soothing music like this can help you stay in the present moment, while you work, relax, meditate or do yoga.


The right music can make meditation and mindfulness much easier to do.


Now that our new studios are done, we are starting to compose some new music. Soon we will be recording and will let you know when you can hear it.


We have a few different musical projects planned and we are looking forward to sharing them with you.

Finding the Green Shoots

Dear Sequoia Records Tribe,


We seem to all be in a time where there continues to be challenges from many sides - the pandemic, social unrest, worsening climate change and more.


I’m sure you feel as we do, how hard it can be to cultivate peace of mind and hope during all this.


We are learning how important it is to balance out how we get our information so that we don’t only hear about the problems, but we also hear about signs of progress.


There actually are very positive things happening in all these areas, but we have to seek them out.


These are the green shoots of new growth that are evidence that there is a basis for real hope and optimism.


Search for these stories and you will find them.


The majority of people do want to live in a world of fairness and wellness, with a healthy environment where all beings can be happy.


We first visited the Sequoia National Forest and were inspired to create music for healing and meditation back in the 80s.


Now more than ever before we see how important this mission is.


We hope that listening to our music either on music streaming sites or on CD will help you to have hope for the future and find peace in the present.


We are looking forward to bringing you new music to bring peace and balance to your life very soon.

Joy Through Self-Acceptance

Dear Sequoia Records Tribe,


As things start to get back to normal from the pandemic, and we are able to start to do some of the things we have missed, we find ourselves with mixed emotions.


The beauty of the spring and return of sunny days combined with our new found freedom beckons us to feelings of happiness and joy.


But we are also still feeling grief for those who are gone and the countries in the world who are still struggling with reducing their cases and getting everyone vaccinated.


There are also some feelings that as we start to do normal things, it just doesn’t feel quite normal yet.


Our sense is that this moment calls us to be gentle and patient with ourselves.


We can allow ourselves to feel some joy sometimes, but then if we need to be quiet and feel some feelings of sadness, we can let ourselves do that also.


Total acceptance of our feelings and what is before us is the way through.


We find that meditating and listening to serene music can make this process so much easier.


Since we started recording many years ago, we did so originally because we needed to feel that inner peace.


After all these years when we play music together, we are able to let go of our fears and embrace the presence of the moment.


We are currently composing some new songs, and we hope to have them for you to hear soon.

Coming Alive Again

Dear Sequoia Records Tribe,


Happy Spring Equinox to everyone.


This year we all need the spring more than ever.


Depending on where you live Spring is starting to blooming all around you or will be very soon.


It’s time to go out and feel the warm of the sun again.


As we start to recover from the last year of isolation and challenges, the act of getting back to normal shows us how much healing is still needed.


The last year has taught us how important to our overall wellness it is to be with people.


It’s so much more than fun for us to be with our families, friends and loved ones, it’s part of our mental and physical health.


When need those times when we celebrate together, to dance together, and to play together.

 

As we begin to compose our next few songs, we hope to channel this sense of emergence and healing into this new music.


This has been our mission since we started, to bring the inner peace and serenity we feel during meditation or in nature to our listeners.


We will be sharing our new music with you soon.


Make sure to follow us on your favorite music service to find out when new songs are released.

Growing and Changing

Dear Sequoia Records Tribe,


As we await the coming of Spring and our slow emergence from this pandemic, we start to envision our lives returning to normal.


We find ourselves considering what normal really is and if it is still who we are now.


It’s not possible to return to where we were since we are now different having gone through the last year.


Think about how you have changed and how you want to live your life now.


We find ourselves having more gratitude for all the simple things we used to do. To spend time with friends and family, to gather in groups to do so many things together so important to life.


How does this past year change what you want to do with your life and who you want to be each day?


For us this experience has made us feel more grateful for our lives and even more committed to our mission of healing through music.


We have already planned the musical direction of the new few albums we will be releasing.


But we also allow ourselves to become inspired in the studio and go into new directions as well.


We look forward to having you join us on this journey as we begin to share our new music with you.


It’s our hope that the new music we are starting to compose now will make your way a little lighter, a little easier and inspire you to your own new directions.

Cultivating Hope Before the Dawn

Dear Sequoia Records Tribe,


As we make our way slowly during this winter like no other, it can be a challenge to feel hopeful as we await the vaccine.


It’s is empowering to actively take part in cultivating hope within ourselves.


One way to do this is to spend some time in nature or sitting in silence.


Feel the earth supporting you and tune into the sense of a benevolent creation all around you.


With mother earth below and father sky below, we can know we all share a rightful place in the universe.


As fear-based thoughts arise, let them pass by and return again to the peaceful quiet within.


We are dedicated to creating music to help you do this.


You can listen to our music on your favorite music service by clicking below:

Our new recording studio at Steve’s house is complete and ready for us to record now!


We will be meeting weekly to begin recording and plan to release a few songs every couple months.


We will be announcing the new releases here in our newsletter and you will see the new EPs and albums on our artist pages on music services like Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon.


It’s our hope that the new music we are composing now will help you get through this time by connecting you with your own inner peace.

The Light is Returning

Dear Sequoia Records Tribe,


As we enter this new year, we enter the start of winter.  


But since the solstice was on December 21st, each day is a little bit longer and there is a little more light.


It's good to remember that that seeds of regeneration and rebirth are contained within the darkness of the winter.


This takes on even deeper meaning this year as we look towards the arrival of the vaccines to end this pandemic.


As the light grows with each day, so grows the number of people who will be getting the vaccine.


But just as the slow pace of the returning of the longer sunny days, it will take patience to make it through this time of the pandemic.


As always, an attitude of allowing, acceptance and letting go is the most sure way to maintain a state of inner peace.


Inner calm is the way to a place of non-fear, a place where we can find our center.


We have been creating music to help people experience this place of calm since we first started.


You can stream our soothing music on your favorite music service here:

The new studio in Steve's guest house is continuing to take shape.


He recently added a section to hang some of his acoustic guitars.  The steel string is a Larivee and the nylon classic is a Ramirez.


On the wall next to the guitars are two of the magazine covers we have been on from past interviews.

We are currently putting the last finishing touches on the studio and plan to start our first recording sessions in mid-January!

Our plan is to record some duets for acoustic guirar and piano.  We may add some Native flute and bamboo flute to some songs also.

 

New Playlists!

If you listen to music on Spotify, there are three new playlists we recently made for you:

Sacred Earth Grooves

Meditations for Piano & Guitar

These are solo guitar and piano songs we made that have only been released on compilations.We will be releasing them plus some new ones on an upcoming album. In the meantime you can enjoy them here in this playlist. We enjoyed recording the pure and simple sounds of these instruments.
