There are thousands of ways the word love can be defined. When talking about love in an interpersonal context, everyone recognizes their true feelings and know they love someone without a written description to define what they are feeling.
Paul Avgerinos is the composing musician behind the album having a title and theme related to the divine word we call love. This New Age artist who named his positively feel good album after one of our most primitive and basic needs we possess received Zone Music Reporter awards for Best World Album in 2007 with Garden Of Delight, and Zone Music Reporter’s Best Relaxation/Meditation Album award in 2006 with Gnosis. Many of his songs also enjoy abundant online radio airplay, so he shares his relaxing music at the top on many online radio charts.
Paul Avgerinos’s latest album titled Love does focus on both the nature and nurturing side of music, giving a caring gentle touch to ambience while providing a close to the heart definition of what the word love means to him on a personal level, both in music and by his own compassionate words like shown below.
Round Sky Music label is at the heart of Paul’s discography, where Ambient, Healing, and Relaxation music is expressed in an ever present restful state of mind and where anyone who searches for it can find Love. With his latest like prior albums, Paul performs in his natural musical state of contentment playing cello, bass, violin, 12 string acoustic, electric swell & echo slide guitars, vocal choirs, synthesizers & sound design. Paul does recognize inside the CD album cover that the Love album would not be a reality without the dedication of his friend and co-musician Kevin Braheny Fortune.
This album is dedicated to my dear Mother and Father resting in peace. They showed me by their selflessness and devotion, what true love really is. It is my fervent desire that all beings will feel, receive and give unconditional blissful love in all it’s forms with increasing ease and comfort. Paul Avgerinos
Kevin’s Braheny Fortune’s role was to first lay the groundwork for many of the songs, while providing key instrumentation throughout, giving the entire project equal balance between the two artists while they each gave their personal interpretation about the gift of love musically. Kevin plays clarinet, electronic wind, alto flute, and soprano saxophone, sharing his own give and take for this relaxing project titled after the easy to understand, yet difficult to define word.
Dictionaries provide a simple explanation of the complex feelings involved when we love someone, so here is a quick check of the basic concept; Love ( Luv ) Noun. Term of endearment for the intense emotional attachment towards another person, based on a principal sense of commitment, loyalty, and devotion, valued on their personal qualities, sharing oneness that is without exception.
Love is without exception a comfortable feel good album, fulfilling by an abundance of deep and colorful Ambient sound escapes that completely encircle you with relaxing tonal qualities. This trademark music with a calming effect will never leave you all alone at a shallow plane in notes or isolated at some distant horizon in sound, so expect plenty of sentiment along the way.
I found the harmonic instrumental notes appear as abstract layers of color that drift and surround you, only wavering at the next soft touch of brass, string, or woodwind instrumentation. The lighter notes rise above at times to reach a plateau then gently settle into a middle range melody, providing equal balance with a distinctive atmosphere that secures the album’s ambient concept.
While the Love album may not strike at the very core of our existence as the title might suggest, it does succeed at offering an inner peace through gentle calming ambiance anyone can become attached to. You will also find yourself inspired by Paul’s sincere commitment for sharing his musical expression on this album while giving and receiving love in an unconditional manner, just like the word love was meant to be.
