CD Releases

Nad Sundaram - Beautiful Sound
Michèle Averard, Nestor Kornblum, Carlos Pons and guests
This title comes from “Nada” which in Sanskrit means Universal or Sacred Sound, and “Sundara” which means beautiful. This CD weaves together ancient and sacred elements and instruments from many cultures, with modern acoustic and electronic beats. The intention is to offer the listener a truly inspiring, Sacred Music experience, one that is also enjoyable, healing, relaxing and refreshing. It is a unique recording in that it blends vocal harmonics (overtones) with the instruments in original ways. The music can be used to enhance processes in workshops and healing sessions, or simply to enrich one’s day to day experience of life. Each piece has been created with clear intention and minute attention to detail. This CD celebrates all that is beautiful in life: love, peace, harmony, compassion, joy and even a hint of sadness…which highlights this beauty and helps us to appreciate it more profoundly.

Each of the 7 tracks on this CD corresponds and resonates in one or more of the 7 main energy centres or “Chakras” located along the spine in the areas of the principal glands of the body. The music can thus be used to harmonise, balance and enhance the free-flow of energy in these centres.

Guests: Oscar Jareño, Lynn Dobson, Gayle Groovin, Jose Manuel Diaz, Ed & Deb Shapiro (Swami Brahmananda and Deva Shakti), Naomi Naides Averard, Jaume Guerra, Francisco Soler,
Sonsoles Hernandez
Intruments: Sarod, Tampura, Sitar, Flute, Voice, Overtone Chant (vocal harmonics) - Styles: Western, Tibetan “Deep Voice” and Tuvan “Kargyraa”, Flamenco Guitar, Violin, Cello, Koto, Djembe, Tabla, Udu, Didgeridoo, Monochord, Pandero (Frame Drum), Bass, Electronic beats and sampled sounds…

We Are One - Healing Chants
A collection of traditional and original chants and mantras which Michêle Averard and Nestor Kornblum use in their work with Healing and Sacred Sound. Michêle and Nestor sing overtones/harmonics and employ a variety of sacred and indigenous instruments. Their intention throughout is to remember and invoke the power of the circles where human beings have always sung in harmony and unity. This album is dedicated to the unity of all consciousness, to circles and to Sound. We are one.

Sounding the Subtle Bodies
This CD is designed as a tool for self-healing. It incorporates vocal sounds, overtones and instruments specifically chosen for their vibratory resonance in each of the body's energy centres (chakras), and their corresponding glands and organs. It may be used for healing, balancing, cleaning and harmonising the physical and subtle bodies. This music has been intentionally created to enhance and support any healing modality. The CD includes Toning the Chakras with vowels sounds, a powerful way to cleanse, balance and heal the energy centres. The listener is invited to intone along with Michêle.

 


Overtone Chant - The Practical Guide
Book with CD

Nestor Kornblum's Overtone Chant – the Practical Guide, is a simple, efficient and extremely practical course in the basics of Overtone singing (Vocal Harmonics). The CD included in this book has clear, precise exercises, presented in a “sing along with me” format. There are also musical and meditative examples of Overtone chant performed by Nestor. The text, in six languages, is clear and concise, and will enable a dedicated beginner to reach a high level of overtone singing.

Languages: English, Spanish, German, French, Dutch and Swedish.

Overtone chant is highly recommended as a healing and meditational tool, for relieving stress, accelerating personal growth, and as a complement to all the healing arts.

"Vocal harmonics are extraordinary--they can open our ears, our minds and our hearts to a fuller spectrum of sound than we've ever experienced.  They have great benefit as both therapeutic and transformational sounds. Nestor Kornblum is an excellent singer of vocal harmonics and a fine teacher of them as well!"
