John Adorney

約翰·安鐸尼在美國被譽為 “音樂舒壓大師”，是擅長用音樂舒解都市人身心疲憊的傳奇人物。據媒體介紹他自創了心靈輔助治療音樂，透過不同的音程、節奏、拍速、振動頻率，設計出具視覺意象的無聲樂音。他根據獨創的「星光作曲法則」，將星光的明滅化做波長、頻率，融入于樂曲的創作中。 媒體為達到市場目的的宣傳，往往削弱了我們耳朵獨立欣賞的意識。對《Bechoning》這張專輯客觀評價：它是悅耳的，輕松的。適合大眾口味的“快餐”。你不需要特定的環境、特定的心情，隨時可以讓你的心序與音樂同步，而音樂描述的正是我們每天面對繁忙生活的應該持有的狀態。 整張專輯節奏平緩、流暢，產生出在快節奏生活中的人們暗自向往的緩沖因素。不要以純藝術的角度去欣賞它，不然,也許不經意間你在它身上看到某位音樂大師的影子，抑或沒有找到曾讓你心動的旋律而心存厭拒。舒壓音樂需要大眾化，并且有物理、生理的作用妙用其中。我們要做的唯有放松，音樂飄飄由耳入心,暢溢全身，在我們的血脈中輕快奔流，如略帶寒意的春水融化浮冰，通暢的河岸，侵潤著人們冰凍已久的心靈。 New Age composer John Adorney began studying music at age nine -- although his first instrument was the cello, within two years he'd also acquired a guitar, profoundly influenced by the Beatles and the British Invasion they launched. He additionally learned the piano, and went on to study classical music at the University of Connecticut; a tenure with an ethnic dance troupe followed before Adorney relocated to Denver during the late 1970s, becoming a fixture of the local folk circuit. He next moved to Los Angeles, teaching music at a school for disabled children before founding his own music therapy practice; by the 1990s Adorney was additionally composing New Age-influenced instrumental material, eventually landing three pieces on the 1998 Domo compilation Reflections. The exposure brought him to the attention of the EverSound label, and later that same year Adorney issued his debut LP, Beckoning. Other Shore appeared in late summer 2001.
