# Power and Serenity

Lou Reed put Power and Serenity up for sale on his site. Awesome, glad to see this project reach fruition.

It is interesting to me to reflect on the notion that this meditation music was the first thing I ever worked on with Lou. Really this was what started our collaborations, and I have always loved the music on this. It is in a similar vein, but of a different character, than the Creation of the Universe or Hudson Wind Meditations. The compositions were conceived of, improvised upon, reworked, edited, remixed and transformed over a period of 4 years. I hope taiji enthusiasts are drawn to this release … CD version of the unabridged music coming soon!
