Musical Serenity is the name of my new musical project and web page. I have a CD called "Music For Meditation and Serenity". This is music to chill out to. Something soothing for the soul. Something to help relieve the stress that builds in us. It is also good to fall asleep to and help transfer you to dreamland.
I, Bob Holzner, play Keyboards, Percussion, Electronic Drums, Acoustic Snare Drum and some Chanting on this CD.
Featured on this CD is Dhuni Tzadok who plays Sitars, Acoustic Guitars, Electric Guitar, Bass Guitar and Chanting.
Also featured on this CD is Roland Montijo who plays Acoustic Midi Guitar Synthesizer, Electric Midi Guitar Synthesizers, Baroque Lutes and Cellos.
I am in the process of finding someone to add Vocals on the song Flight Weaver and someone to add Native Flute to a few select songs. I have plans to add violin to the CD at some point as well.
If you have stress and need to relax have a listen to my music and soothe your troubled soul.
This CD falls under New Age category of music but I also compose music in the Progressive Rock and Jazz Fusion categories.
You will also find some of my original music I composed for movie and/or game soundtracks using Cakewalk and Sonar computer software for composing music. I have much more in the works but need to convert these songs to the correct format for this site before I can upload them.
I also include on this site some of the music I recorded with a couple of improvisational bands (Astral Travelers, Improv Edge Runner Band) I have been in over the years.
You can also go to some of my other band sites at the following links.

I also uploaded a few Jazz Fusion songs I arranged and composed in 1996 using DoReMix software by Roland. I also use Cakewalk, Sonar 6 Producer software.
I will soon be working with The Funky Guitarist (Rudy Ramos) on some new Jazz Fusion songs to be posted here when complete.
There is one song that Rudy and myself put together some 20 years ago called The Picture Fusion Jam. I uploaded a copy of that song to my site. You can also hear it at The Funky Guitarist's site as well along with many other songs written by Rudy. http://www.soundclick.com/thefunkyguitarist
God Bless.

and by the way: Andy can reach me at: sopher3@gmail.com
Hey Bob, I've always thought that your drumming was par excellance! I told Andy, he's like "Bruford and a little Cobham." I've jammed with Andrew and know he's a Shaman in guitar's clothing. I wish I could reach him some how. Can you help? Please tell him dan sopher needs to talkto him. Any help would be extremely appreciated. I'm a little desperate. I trust his wisdom over any hollow do-gooder . At the same time, I don't want to impose , so if it's a problem, I understand. Love , Danny Sopher.
I am from Chicago, IL. My relatives come from Nurenberg and Amburg Germany. I am a second generation American. My grandparents came over from Germany in the late 30s or early 40s.
