Mindfulness through Multimedia
Our latest Water Film features Yellowstone National Park. This place is awesome and it happens to contain an amazing assortment of unique manifestations of water. The park scenery inspires quiet reverence.
If you enjoy the soundtrack for this film you can download it here.

This is one of the many films that is on our Water Films DVD, soon to be released!
Recent visits to Whipps Ledges in Hinckley, Ohio and Virginia Kendall Ledges in Peninsula played a role in inspiring this brand new world/jazz piece.
Just pause the background music (or wait for the sample to end), then press play below and enjoy some photos from both places.

One of the places we visited on our national parks RV trip was Glacier National Park. Out of all the trails available to us from the Going to the Sun Road, we randomly chose the St. Mary waterfall hike. We were treated to 3 hours of incredible colors, delicate forest streams, unique waterfalls that varied in intensity and bobbing birds.
This Water Film features the signature waterfall of that hike — St. Mary Falls.
The idea behind Water Films is to give people an opportunity to take a break in their day to relax and become inspired by nature. One of the most effective ways to sustain focus during a work day or when working on a project is to take occasional breaks which allow you to refresh your mental energy. As musicians, we find that taking breaks is the key to consistency and creative inspiration in our craft.
One of the tools we use when teaching people how to improvise on the piano is to have them “solo” for a prescribed amount of time (maybe one or two measures of music) and then take a planned “rest” for that same period of time. During the rest, new ideas are allowed to arise within the creative imagination. The same idea applies to almost any task that requires sustained concentration.
These short films are also great to watch right before going to bed as they relax your mind and body.
We will soon be releasing a DVD of these Water Films so people can take them wherever they like and watch in full HD.
The soundtrack of this film is called “Hiking St. Mary,” a brand new ambient electronica tune that can be downloaded at here.
Press play and refresh yourself creatively.

There are so many great natural places to discover! We visited the overlook at Virginia Kendall Ledges in the Cuyahoga Valley just in time to catch a beautiful sunset.
