Ilkka Saari

One of music2work2 friends has a very interesting sound but no information is given about the musician/band on their MySpace page. Ilkka Saari is from Finland; the music is classified as Classical/Electro. All four samples of music available to hear on Ilkka Saari's MySpace page are very pleasant to listen to. They have an interesting and unique sound. I especially like the lovely, sweet sounding Berenikes Hair, but my favorite of the four is Remous which is a lively, upbeat piece. It has an almost "fantasy" feel to it.

I enjoy the work of Ilkka Saari; I wish I knew more about who is playing this lovely music and the instrument(s) on which it is being played.

The Reunion

The Reunion is an instrumental acoustic band out of Las Vegas. They began in 1991 as a blues band but changed courses and in 1996 released The Reunion, their first instrumental all-acoustic recording. The group has grown from the original 2 musicians to a variety of guitarist and percussionists. They have enjoyed success over the years with several albums and are currently working on a new album, Consequences, to be released, I believe, this summer.

I really like their music. Three of the sample pieces on their MySpace page are from Consequences. All the songs have a nice feel - lovely, melodic, some with a Spanish sound. It would be hard to choose which of the four songs available to listen to is my favorite. "Last Flight Home," one of their earlier pieces is very pleasant listening; I also very much enjoy the beautiful newer piece "Waiting."

I recommend checking out the music of The Reunion. I'll be looking forward to hearing more from The Reunion soon.

KY Philosopher

KY Philosopher, Kevin J. Brown, is located in Louisville, KY and teaches philosophy online, as well as being a practicing philosophical counselor. But, in addition to this, he is also a composer and performer of solo piano music. Kevin Brown's music is peaceful and relaxing. This lovely music reminds me a great deal of some music2work2  sessions, for example, Emma's Numbers. In fact, Mr. Brown suggests that his music can be used as "background music for other activities like meditation or yoga."

There are three samples of KY Philosopher's music available to hear on his MySpace page. All are very pretty solo piano pieces. My favorite of the three, however, is Q.
