Review

As a title, One principally represents the body-mind-spirit cohesion aspired to in keyboardist Mark Ciaburri's slowly unfolding journey toward a state of sublime relaxation. It may also serve as a small pun, indicating the number of tracks found on this disc (and the number of recordings in this newcomer's discography). One is a nearly 67-minute, multi-instrumental bliss-out that also could have been appropriately titled Meditation Jam. First, Ciaburri electronically establishes the recording's underpinnings, a warm, gently glowing soundscape that hovers near the fringes of deep space. He then allows a host of accompanists--most prominently Bruce BecVar on acoustic guitar, plus others on cello, harp, oboe, English horn, flute, tabla, and voice--to add contemporary textures and benign, slow-motion abstractions, all with the intent of creating a sanctuary of sustained restfulness. It succeeds on most counts, though at times the disc seems busy, with instruments too often overlapping or crowding one another for prominence. Offering a little more openness, by extending spaces between notes or taking a more spare approach to instrumentation, might have turned a very good recording into a great one. Ciaburri's subtle use of voices (created by "The Angels Choir of Maui," a nod to where the disc was recorded) is particularly attractive. Massage and yoga enthusiasts, take note. --Terry WoodMusic for meditation, massage, yoga or just being...

Remember when you've heard music so beautiful that it captured you, lifted you up, opened your heart and mind? Perhaps you were having a massage, doing yoga or just being silent but whatever you were doing, you wanted that music to continue. This is the music of One. Music to keep you there.

Over an hour of guitars, tablas, oboe, cello, tamboura, harp, English horn, voice and many other soft sounds woven together with no abrupt changes, the timing set to the gentle rhythm of the ocean.
