Buddha Bar...When I discovered it

And how this music has impacted my creativity.
Your comment of that my choice in music was "Muzak or elevator music" brought me to a great memory where I first discovered this amazing Lounge Music called Buddha Bar. In 2003 I was living in Florence Italy. Truly living the dream. I was taking courses in ceramics and Italian Art History. I met a soul sister Gisele (from Brazil) in my ceramics class and we instantly bonded. We traveled to Sicily together visiting the sacred sites. Gisele in Florence had met this artist who knew of this great artist who studied under Dali http://www.bonifazimarco.it/
One night we were invited to meet him. This amazing artist actually had understudies, like the great masters. His flat was mind boggling, ancient cherubs hanging from the cieling and it was featured in a interior design book about Florentian Homes. That you can pick up at Borders.
While we were visiting this amazing music was playing. I asked what it was and they all said it was Buddha Bar. And I could get it off the street for a couple dollars. Ah.... Buddha Bar came into my life and my art.
My muzak has become part of my process of creating art. I play it constantly with the kids that I teach. For me it takes me and those creating to deeper levels
When taking Jeremy Morgan's painting class, I brought my music in and that became our affinity. This is the music Jeremy listens to while he is creating.
The music of Buddha Bar and World Music. I had my students thank me the other day for letting them listen to ballet music... that was calming and soothing.

Thank you, a great memory has been restored.
