The Music of Kevin Kennedy-Spaien and Disc of Light
In the mid 1990's, Bassist and Composer Kevin "Tut" Kennedy was coming off a two-year stint of rehearsing and touring with the bands Hypnotic Clambake and Father Complex. Upon returning to Boston he was introduced through friends, to Eve Spaien.
Eve, a highly respected Occupational Therapist and pain management specialist had spent several years developing her skills in guided meditation, autogenics and various other areas of Complementary Alternative Medicine (CAM). This included a period of study with Dr. Herbert Benson of the Mind/Body institute.
While Kevin and Eve immediately recognized each other as soul mates, they originally had no notion of working together. That changed when Eve's mom, Fritzie, was diagnosed with a recurrence of Breast Cancer.
As her cancer progressed, Fritzie's pain would frequently become unbearable without medicines that made her unresponsive or irrational. Eve decided that something had to be done- she and Kevin were going to make a guided meditation program that would allow her mother to overcome her discomfort and enjoy the time she and her family had together.
That program was an early version of The Beach: A Journey in the Mind's Eye. Over the years that followed, the project was re-recorded, expanded and converted to digital format from original analog source material. The result is the first release from Disc of Light Media.
The Beach is currently in use in hospitals and clinics throughout the New England area, and is available for purchase as CD at CDBaby or MP3 downloads from Digstation. For more info, please visit Disc of Light (www.disc-of-light.com).

"In the province of the mind, what one believes to be true is true or becomes true, within certain limits to be found experientially and experimentally. These limits are further beliefs to be transcended. In the mind, there are no limits."
