A Balm for Sisyphus is a thoughtful meditation: fifteen stories to sooth the soul and ignite the imagination, wrested from precious things of string and wood. A blend of genres and styles, the album features the soothing tones of Classical and Spanish guitars, the percussive rhythms of Spain, the sweet chirp of a soprano ukulele, and a healthy infusion of groove.

Each track tells a tale of hope or sorrow, with nylon strings providing warmth and depth, percussive elements giving each song vitality and movement, and melodic riffs infusing each track with pathos. Listen long, listen well.

The Emblems of these Distracted Times sees Kalabi combining ambient and big beat styles to produce a interesting danceable style of chill out.

The warm bass and layered atmospheres that are a signature of Kalabi's work are still here of course, but this time around the tempo wanders into the heady heights of 160bpm at times.

Experience a new style and sound of Hard Rock Instrumental Music.

This album was put together not knowing if any of the riffs and melodies would ever make it on our next album, we were coming off the road and preparing to write our next album we started experimenting with our riffs, melodies, structures, sounds, and what is to be on this album.

As it would end up this Journey opened the door for what is Idlemine music today.

This music is a power house of drums, bass, and guitar, with a fresh twist of riffs and melodies, A solid taste of a real 3 piece group of musicians without the overdubs and samples.

"Not realizing once these songs started coming together they would be as they are, nothing arranged, nor planned, just music recorded straight from the soul, presenting something we feel is new and refreshing in the music world today".

In the mid 17th century, France was the center of excellence for lutenists who. After much experimentation, they settled on the "d minor" tuning system on an instrument with 11 sets of single and double strings ("courses") tuned f' d' a' f d a g f e d c. Once the "Sun King" turned his attention to the previously low brow guitar and elevated it to royal status, the lute fell out of favor. Performers spread throughout western Europe into the mostly German speaking countries and began to fuse the contemplative cerebral "broken" style of the French lutenists with more Italian influences that emphasized melody (Cantabile) and counterpoint while retaining the popular French dance music forms. In the later German baroque, two additional bass courses were added (b and a) and the music increased in harmonic complexity.

The program on this album is an exploration of this rich and underappreciated repertoire, performed on both 11 course and the later 13 course baroque lute. The 11 course music retains much French influence with separated chords and simple harmonies but introduces more melodic components. The 13 course music introduces the singing cantabile style leading to the complex harmonies and grandeur of Weiss and Bach. Finally, a modern composition by Turovsky shows that the "German" baroque lute has not sung its last new songs.

This album is a bit edgier than most albums classified as New Age, and the instrumentation includes piano, bass, drums, synths, violin, guitar, bansuri flute, sitar, tablas, and other hand percussion.

Sometimes very rhythmic and sometimes more ambient, several tracks have strong Middle Eastern and Eastern European influences mixed with a variety of more Western musical styles. A blend of ethnic musical styles with a sense of urgency and mystery, "Nebula" is a thrilling musical journey through space and an exhilarating musical experience.

"Nebula" is an exciting and eclectic collection of nine original instrumental pieces sharing the theme of deep space.
