I Am Love

written by: Bradford W.. Tilden

genre: folk

The inspiration for this song came to me after attending a workshop taught by the world reknowned breatharian Jasmuhine from Perth Australia at the 2007 Raw Spirit Festival in Sedona Arizon. The core lyrics were derived from a simple meditation mantra she taught us. This song is about the undying spirit of of humanity. This is a live recording from my piano concert in Oeiras, Portugal in November, 2009.

A Starlit Sky

written by: A Starlit Sky

genre: instrumental

This was one of my earlier inspirations. It popped out of me when I was 15. I often gaze at the cosmos at night. Though they are appear to be at rest in the sky, I know and feel their true dynamism. I absolutely love the drama and the beautiful climactic rush at the end. I'm pretty sure playing this in front the a music composition class as a prospective student is what got me in to Amherst College because the teacher turned to the students and explained to them what a "Plagal cadence" is- which is a cadence that resolves from the fourth the the tonic. I felt pretty proud that a professor was using my music as an example. It made me really feel like I knew what I was doing even though it comes naturally to me.

Second Movement of the Summer Solstice Sonata

written by: Bradford W.. Tilden

genre: instrumental

This piece is self explanatory. It is simply beautiful. It literally wrote itself. Measure after measure it rolled out of my mind like a scroll. The Sonata as a whole is modeled after the classical sonata, and Mozart was my primary influence for this movement, but I kick it up a notch with the dramatic middle section that is more evocative of post romanticism. The ending can only be a flourish to bring us towards the final movement, which is historically based on folk dances.

Finale to the Summer Solstice Sonata

written by: Bradford W. Tilden

genre: instrumental

This is the last movement of the Summer Solstice Sonata. It is one of the favorite pieces I've ever written both to listen to and play. --And to dance to! Can you envision the courtesans in the court with their big bell like gowns flourishing around? and their courtiers swinging them around? I love the return to the second theme in D Major. It's some of my favorite mateiral I've ever written. One carny friend of mine suggested that Circ De Sole should do a routine to it, and I agree. It has such a joyous principle theme, and the trio feels precious and delicate to me. I is influenced by the trio in the second movement of Schubert's Grand Sonata in B Flat major.

Born and raised in Agawam, MA this incredibly gifted and talented musician, composer, pianist, vocalist, and gemstone, crystal & sound healer graduated Magna Cum Laude from Amherst College in 2002, with a BA in music composition and studied sound healing at the Globe Institute of Psycho-Acoustic Music and Sound Healing in
San Francisco in 2006. He then studied crystal and gemstone healing with a private teacher in Santa Cruz (Aptos) for two years while teaching himself the mastery of singing with crystal bowls. In doing so he opened a portal to his higher consciousness and accessed his shamanic ancestry and the Angelic Realms. The beings from Ancient Lemuria began encouraging him to develop classes and found a school that he called The Lemurian School of Intuitive Natural Healing. LSNH Pronounced Listen. It is a program containing 22 courses that pull together all of the intuitive healing knowledge and wisdom he has accumulated about sound, crystals, energy, light, color, and the cosmos for millennia. He is a VERY OLD SOUL.

In 2007 he launched his international career in performance and education of all things mentioned above in the quiet spiritual oasis of Portugal, where the Açores Islands are believed to be the last remaining land masses of Atlantis. After two years of touring back and forth between the San Francisco Bay Area he fell ill while in Portugal and was rushed to a hospital and flew home. He woke up a few months later at Baystate Medical Hospital. He had contracted an extremely rare virus called CMV that had affected his brain. No one is quite sure how he survived because it took them over two months to properly diagnose him. His weight dropped to 80 pounds. While his body was in a coma his consciousness traveled to places this paragraph has no room to discuss. He actually did die during that voyage. Then he was reborn. Now he has the second bellybutton to prove it, thanks to the tube that they stuck into his stomach….

If you ask him now, he will tell you the virus was the best thing that has happened to him in his life thus far. Since then, he has been nothing short of a high-octane bundle of joy, inspiration, and creativity since escaping the clutches of the Psychotherapists who mistook his racing chatter due to the combination of his enourmously high IQ and gratitude for being alive as “manic behavior.” If you want all the fleshy details and extraordinary stories from this ordeal as well as any other stories from his extraordinary live, subscribe to his YouTube Channel: MUSEOFAQUARIUS,online jukebox:www.jukeboxalive.com/bwtilden, Facebook- Bwtilden or website: www.CrystalMusicHealing.com
