FROM THE MUSICIAN
“A sweet melody, a beautiful sound, is something that we’re all naturally, easily, effortlessly attracted to. Instead of being focused on one thing or another, the mind lets go and you feel an expansion, and ideally, a joy, or as Alan Watts used to say, “the Floodlight Consciousness”, instead of the focused, the spotlight. My goal with Nature's Gift (formerly titled Universal Love Currents) was to create music with an energy that could attune one to a higher vibration. Whether you hear it in a yoga class or during a massage or during a reiki session, I hope it makes you feel safe so you can let go. If you can be absorbing that energy and take it with you into your life, into your world, and in the course of that action give it away, give it to others. . . that would be my heart’s dream fulfilled.” – James Mikael Brue

NEWS/REVIEWS
“Serene piano, the sweet sounds of nature, lush synthesizers – each can be beautiful
in their own right, but mix them together and you have a recipe for peace and
tranquility. NATURE'S GIFT from James Mikael Brue is an album of sublime
melodies that enriches the romantic spirit in us all. Brue keeps the piano subtle
which makes for a better interplay with the album’s other elements which include a
symphony of birdsong on “Nature’s Gift” or the angelic cooing on “Love’s Ecstasy.”
This is music for the mind – it will lift your spirits and fill you with joy.
–Music Design In Review, November/December 2001

ABOUT THE MUSICIAN:
Piano virtuoso James Mikael Brue who wrote and recorded Nature's Gift, admits to being really in love with "the acoustical aspect of music, the way piano really vibrates a human being, vibrates our nervous system."  A classically trained musician and teacher of the Suzuki Method, James created Nature's Gift to express in part "the depth within each of us, that we can touch, that will heal us."  Inspired by the Muir woods in Marin County, CA as well as several extended meditation retreats, James’ music is an expression of a beautiful, peaceful journey and a desire to evoke the totality and harmony of nature. 

A resident of northern CA, James Mikael Brue hopes that his healing music for At Peace, "makes you feel safe so you can let go and take that energy with you into your world, and in the course of that action give it away, give it to others . . . that would
be my heart’s dream fulfilled."
