The Conscious Flow Of Dreams

“Composer /keyboardist Gerardo Miguel Maza used an eclectic squad of performers for a
three year period to realize this imaginative cross-cultural odyssey.”
John Berger,Star Bulletin

“Composer Gerardo Miguel Maza’s new CD The Conscious Flow of Dreams is rich with a variety of contemporary music . He mixes life’s sounds with a roster of talented musicians , and a unique array of instruments.”
Angeline Acain, Ohohia

Through the bells of Tibet, Nepal and Thailand, the wind is blowing not only air but sacred music. Transporting us not only inside a temple but also inside the hearts of African drums and the classical sound of Spain, Argentina, Gypsy music(Roma, Manouch, Gitans) and inside the city of Tokyo. These dreams flow and scream a peace for the world, the language of music slowly fades away with one thousand candles floating on the ocean. This album should be in every persons car or home, its a celebration of dream and hope.
"The Conscious Flow of Dreams" is a dream itself, leading us to only one direction, awareness and hope that music will never die.
PS: please help this artist to realize this dream and to continue this message, its not him that you will help but the message that he is giving freely to the world. A offering to the Goddess and Gods ( the alter of consciousness)
Herve Montagne, visual artist

…This is New Agey world fusion music… Don’t let anyone tell you that nothing good comes from such a touchy-feely genre.
…this music is most emphatically not Yanni/John Tesh material. …the poly rhythms and instrumentation are more often than not fresh and interesting. Even more so are the tracks that stray farthest from genre formula: "Hua Lele Wa Lei Wa," for instance, is an intoxicating multi-tonal chant….
…Maza and company have enough genuine heartfelt performances up their 100 percent hemp sleeves to please the most cynical punk rocker.
Brett McCallum, SPLENDID online music magazine
