Maneki Neko's Auracle is available at:
iTunesRhapsodyCDBabyAmazon
Mixing influences from around the world, Maneki Neko's debut CD, Auracle, contains ambient soundscapes layered with gently rolling hints of melody, and grounded in deep, satisfying, resonant beds. The result is music with depth and purpose that invites the mind and body to relax in its electro-acoustic textures.
What others are saying:
Each of the five tracks on the CD are recorded and mixed to perfection with layer after layer of subtle shakuhachi flute melodies, narcotic body-numbing vibrations and layers of electronic space sounds that allow the mind to drift into other realms
Steven Parente, Producer Smiling Ear Internet Radio

With titles like "Cats Sleeping on Clouds" and "Drifting Between Stars," Neko's music promises much -- and delivers on it allThe sounds are luxuriously layered, with bell chimes, pipes, soft percussive taps, and plenty of smooth-as-silk electronics.

The sound design is exquisite and allows for sharp focus with free-form expression. This is an excellent CD from a newcomer to the community. It approaches, achieves and supersedes greatness

"The new man is the birth of an absolutely fresh man -- unconditioned, without any nation, without any religion, without any discrimination between man and woman, black and white, East and West, or North and South.
The new man is going to be the very salt of the earth, concerned about how to increase the joys of life, the pleasures of life -- more creativity, more beauty, more humanity, more compassion.
We can go through a total transformation: we can create innocent people, loving people, people who breathe in freedom, people who help each other to be free, who are nourishment for each other's creativity and for everybody to be dignified, to be respected.
The new man is the manifesto of a new humanity, one humanity.
This is a great and fortunate moment -- to be in this challenging situation. It is not a situation that is going to destroy the earth, but only the churches and the politicians and those who hold onto the past.
It is a golden opportunity, because if the whole of humanity becomes aware of the roots of the problems, then the solutions are actually very simple..."
Hello Maneki, I love the way you blend and intertwine your musical sounds. Fantastic playing on the shakuhachi. Thanks for sharing your music with us. -John
Please wish us luck Maneki Neko. I have friends randomized and I just logged on and you were are top friend. Smiled thinking this is a sign that this is going to work. We have a bulldog costume we are going to hold a poster and try to get local news to cover Smiley. Hoping to reach who has him.
Cool. I didn't know you where in Austin. I will be moving there on Dec 28. Look forward to meet you. Peace, Brannan Lane (fresh ambient served chilled)
Every time that we listen or write music... play an instrument... dance... act in a play... or work in some audio/image/video engineering process... Something is healing inside...
When we share it with friends... Something is healing all over...
“Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.” Ashley Smith quote
"It's a beautiful day Sky falls, you feel like It's a beautiful day Don't let it get away
You're on the road But you've got no destination" Beautiful Day Lyrics, U2
A Humanist Code of Ethics: Do no harm to the earth, she is your mother. Being is more important than having. Never promote yourself at another's expense. Hold life sacred; treat it with reverence. Allow each person the digity of his or her labor. Open your home to the wayfarer. Be ready to receive your deepest dreams; sometimes they are the speech of unblighted conscience. Always make restitutions to the ones you have harmed. Never think less of yourself than you are. Never think that you are more than another. ~Arthur Dobrin~
The Humanist rarely loses the feeling of at-homeness in the universe. The Humanist is conscious of being an earth-child. There is a mystic glow in this sense of belonging. Memories of one's long ancestry still linger in muscle and nerve, in brain and germ cell. On moonlit nights, in the renewal of life in the springtime, before the glory of a sunset, in moments of swift insight, people feel the community of their own physical being with the body of mother earth. Rooted in millions of years of planetary history, the earthling has a secure feeling of being at home, and a consciousness of pride and dignity as a bearer of the heritage of the ages. ~A. Eustace Haydon~
I HAVE ARRIVED-I AM HOME MY DESTINATION IS IN EACH STEP -Thich Nath Hanh
If everyone howled at every injustice, every act of barbarism, every act of unkindness, then we would be taking the first step toward a real humanity.
Nelson DeMille
The future is in our hands. We are not hapless bystanders. We can influence whether we have a planet of peace, social justice, equity, and growth or a planet of unbridgeable differences between peoples, wasted resources, corruption, and terror. -James D. Wolfensohn
Back of the imaginings and hopes and dreams of my childhood and womanhood, deeper than the pain caused by the contrasts I have observed in human life, there is a consciousness of the love of God and the spiritual dignity of man. And it is this consciousness that is needed now to make the world better, to bring man to his own, to give him the key to life's problems, so that he can combat difficulties understandingly, overcome injustice through knowledge, and live in the joy of life in the truest and noblest sense. -- Katherine Tingley
