   About Maneki Neko
Maneki Neko's Auracle is available at:
iTunes   Rhapsody   CDBaby   Amazon
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 The SmilingEar.com

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.
Todd Beemis Indie-Music.com

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

(I hope you enjoy)
I love the following poem because I know we all have a gift with-in us, even though we can't always feel it or find it.

(Does this remind you of someone?)

We have a dream inside ourselves, a gift to use at birth,
To guide us and protect us on our journey on this earth.

We all have something special, each one of us unique You have to find the courage to find the peace you seek.

So dream your dream and live your dream Don’t be afraid to try. Just take your soul by the hand and let your spirit fly.

Australian poet, Maureen Weiner

Have a Great Day
Mr.Jan

One Humanity

"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..."

Dear Maneki Neko

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...

Love can drive... in a simple way... everything

Have a lot of smiles... this weekend...

We are connected
