That is beautiful. It's very haunting and melancholy, like the music I imagine being played at the end of a great battle. It made me think of Beowolf, actually. I really enjoy listening to this. What instrument is it? Is there more?

In the song exists a defect unless it’s my headphones, I need new headphones anyways as these have a short in them.

It is made with a Native American golden eagle flute. I'm expanding to other instruments such as wooden type of drums, Tibetan and Buddhist instruments.

I am putting up a final production on eBay, but it might also include mediation art in abstract. It will be more then a CD so it will be kind of expensive as well as other things. I have practiced for around a year now still need improvement.

A personal fund raiser for me I would think, though self-employed so I can re-do school the proper way. Right now I order amazon text books and study myself.

Yes but I do need to find a way of getting a laptop. To goto the ocean, the red woods and just outside here for nature sounds without paying royalty costs. All needs to be 100% original. Also I found a way of putting it on amazon.

The recording equipment I have now works with laptops in the field. No external power needed beyond the USB feed.

It will take some time as the instruments are $800-$900 and a laptop $700.

I will add new songs in a week or so.

1. I have a native drum on order. Taos 12" x 9" Double-Headed Frame Drum

2. A Pan Flute with 15 flutes. Pan Flute, 15 pipes

3. Double Mijwiz (two flutes in one from egypt)

Donna Williams the autism author via e-mail told me how to put it on Amazon. But I have no way of confirming it was or is her for sure.

Im not sure you can sell your own products on Amazon, I think it needs to be in their catalog before you can sell it as a marketplace item. I might well be wrong though.

But eBay will always work, but the thing is, this is nothing to do with your music or talent, but how many people would buy your CD if it is not signed with a record company ?

You best best is to host a website with samples of your song, try and market it a little. Get with the music community, perform live shows and build up a reputation and then look to sign with a record company.

Unless you plan to press the CDs yourself (pressing is different to simply burning a CD) which could be expensive.

The meditation market is not part of a greater music industry, it is very micro and macro, requires that unique marketing’s take place. I however have no delusion that my current skill is of the quality of resale.

At this time though, I’m going offline for the most part. The internet world is not benefiting me and I have decided to just focus on self accomplishments.

I must edit my own music, be the musician and the marketer.

I have VERY unique styles of marketing that I have thought up which I will not mention. As well have seen other alike minds already conduct it prior to my knowledge, after I thought about it. Once I have a product that is of quality I believe I can do ok.

The problem however is getting more instruments, because of a hand injury I can do no more then 5 holes in a flute.
