We live in a world where we are bombarded by information-often contradictory and rarely neutral- causing our sense of stability to shift. We seldom afford ourselves the luxury of peace of mind. Mist of Belonging, composed and produced by Grammy nominated Peter Gordon along with the visionary talent Emmy award winner Daniel Bernard Roumain (DBR) and noted holistic healer Rebecca Carroll embodies the collective spirit of this recording. Their compassion and understanding drives the creative expression, providing pathways for hope and promise while creating a space that reaches us with calm, hope and well-being. The album serves as an audio off-ramp from the high stress, high anxiety lives we lead, allowing us to pause and step outside the echo chamber surrounding us. Gordon's flute seems to breathe alongside us, guiding a meditative journey. DBR's electric and acoustic violin, masterfully weaves between the notes adding expressive gestures that speak all languages and crystal bowl practitioner, Rebecca Carroll, provides a sustained sense of warmth and cohesion. Native American flute and tongue drums serve to center us as a grounding force. With gentle guidance, this music cradles us, inviting us into a quiet shared space-a mist of belonging.
