Yellowstone National Park boasts some of the most beautiful and mysterious scenery in North America. Here are a few shots from our most recent visit . . .
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.
You may be thinking, a Water Film from New York City?
You bet. Because Central Park is an oasis of calm in the middle of fast paced urban living. As you watch, it might be hard to imagine that there were thousands of people just outside of the camera’s eye. Many city dwellers were enjoying the day in nature.
We’ve been pondering this spot ever since our visit because it’s amazing that this rectangular slice of nature seems to bring an entire urban metropolis into balance.
If you desire a ten minute break today, sink into your chair and become transformed by the beauty of Central Park.
The soundtrack for this film is called “November Day,” a piano solo inspired by that warm autumn afternoon. You can download it here.
Also, the video link is appearing on a site of our new friends at HawaiianLife.com. They are always kind enough to share Water Films with their community. This cool site features a blog, photos, music, links and a community of people who are dedicated to “getting in touch with the true Hawaiian spirit.” Check them out!
In early 2011, we will be releasing a DVD of these Water Films so people can take them wherever they like and watch the videos in full HD.
We visited New York City last weekend and had a fantastic experience! Even though our trip consisted of a lot of city activities, we are always on the lookout for nature.
We discovered a new “suspended park” in Chelsea, called the High Line. This elevated park has gardens, artwork and a “theater” above the street that allows you to view 10th Avenue as a moving picture.
Along the Hudson River, is the Hudson River Park. The park is a popular spot for joggers, cyclists and city dwellers who wish to hang out by the water.
But, the crown jewel of green spaces in the city is none other than Central Park, a wonderful oasis in the middle of urban intensity. The park obviously plays a role in keeping its surroundings in balance. Here are some images from the warm November afternoon in the park:
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.
We hope you got a chance to enjoy Part One. Here’s Part Two of our Western National Parks trip in an RV.
Some awesome images of Yellowstone National Park, including Old Faithful and multiple groups of bison are followed by some cool Wyoming images and Mt. Rushmore.
