valsmountain Just beautiful. So peaceful, relaxing, and transporting. Thank you🌹 Favorite track: Summer Night Rain.

mysticwolf75 This new album sort of hearkens back to the first Rudy Adrian album I ever heard, and one of my personal favorites, The Healing Lake. I almost feel that this album could be a sequel to that one.

Frank Inzan Owen An absolutely stunning offering of sonic medicine.

danielclapper Adrian’s work is truly sonic art at its finest. The composition allows the listener the key texture elements to embrace the music, yet leaves enough space for relaxation. For those of us that compose and record our own music, Rudy is an inspiration!!!

Hailing from the mystical isles of New Zealand, long-established Spotted Peccary Music artist Rudy Adrian, reveals his latest masterpiece of calming, atmospheric soundscapes entitled Reflections on a Moonlit Lake. Vividly rendered and effortlessly serene, these compositions eschew vocals and even melody, but never emotion or complexity. Adrian meticulously recreates scenes of natural tranquility: a warm texture becomes the wind through trees, gentle piano becomes rainfall on water, flute trills become distant bird calls. It’s a world of sound extruded from the depths of the Southern Hemisphere.

Reflections on a Moonlit Lake, like much of Adrian’s work, evokes visuals in the listener: chimes shimmer as bright and nebulous images floating over sampled waves and ethereal synthesizer tones in “Dawn Across the Southern Ocean.” A warm chord rises from this interplay, a paean to the rising sun. On “Lunar Shadow,” sparse piano notes ebb and flow across textures like the Moon-bound tides. “Within the Darkness” opens with contemplative piano before flute stutters and sweeps like wind through a night-shrouded forest. This 11 track album is a spiritual successor to Adrian’s early releases The Healing Lake, MoonWater and Twilight, realized as a return to these common themes and inspirations, but with new perspectives that musical maturity can often manifest.

In the composer's own words, these pieces are “quiet accompaniment for the listener as they rest, read, meditate or sleep.” With Reflections on a Moonlit Lake, Rudy Adrian once again draws from the natural world and his own daring imagination, to create a companion piece to the subtler qualities of life and relaxation, a formidable respite for the restless mind.

Despite being released in January, I find this album a perfect vibe for the spring days; a landscape of opportunities associated with the awekening of mother nature and the whole range of fresh perspectives that dwell all around us and open up thanks to that special gleam in Hollan's music.
