ABOUT EMIL GAGLIARDI:

Emil Gagliardi founded Connecting the Universe Music in 2000. He is the composer, guitarist and creator of the DETACHING THE WORLD CD series. Born and raised on the coast of Maine, Gagliardi has been actively engaged with sound and music since the age of five. He studied music at the University of Maine. Honing his knowledge of tone and instrumental harmony is one of his lifelong missions, and he has embraced a wide array of musical genres while broadening his exploration of both acoustic and electric guitars.

According to Gagliardi, “Living on an island that is blanketed with snow in the winter and wildflowers in the summer keeps me attuned to nature, light and the seasons. Being here in such a wild and sublime coastal zone feeds my creative process. I try to craft an intricate, meditative sound with my guitars, inspired by a vision of light, love and connection to the universe.”  

Emil’s musical explorations in the relaxation and ambient music genre have been enriched by his collaboration with licensed massage therapist Melanie Schreiber. Ms. Schreiber uses the DETACHING THE WORLD CD series in her healing practice. In addition to sharing the music with her clients, she also serves as creative muse and musical advisor for Connecting the Universe Music.

REVIEWS:

JUST WHAT I NEEDED
I ordered this cd with no knowledge of what it sounds like or what it even contained. I'll be attending school to become a Massage Therapist this Fall and I wanted to jump start my music collection. After reading the reviews, I went ahead and bought it. I am so glad that I did. The music is very smooth and it flows from one portion to the other, meandering through your mind like a feather in a breeze. The artist used a guitar for many of the sounds, but they are only soft "plucks" and reverberations. There is even rain in one track that makes it even more calming. This is a great cd for any kind of relaxation or meditation and it plays for a good hour. I will definitely order the next two very soon.

I am writing this review of Detaching the World, Vol. 1 on behalf of myself and the staff at our facility, Impressions Spa & Massage. Therapists, guests, everybody seems to have something positive to say when this CD is being played. You can almost see the tension lifted off our clients as they leave our treatment rooms in a dazed blissful state. Mostly I attribute the "tension lifting" to the wonderful therapists we have on our staff but I do know this CD should get some of the credit. It provides the perfect background environment so you don't have to "think" about the music. It's just there, flowing beautifully.

CREATIVE AMBIENCE
This CD is by far the most relaxing and ambient music. Not only do I play this CD for my massage clients but I play it at home as well. I'm 5 months pregnant and put Detaching the World on with headphones to go on my belly for my baby to hear in the womb. I plan to use this music while I give birth as well. It's hard to find the right music out there that can be integrated into so many life situations, but this CD does it all. It's calming, peaceful and grounding. It's an all around great CD.

A LEAP FORWARD IN MUSIC FOR BODYWORK!
Absolutely gorgeous work on Vol. 1. Stunning. It has enhanced my ability to stay present with my clients beyond words. Bravo!
I really think this is a leap forward in music for bodywork. Potentially a quantum shift! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

BLISSFUL, PEACEFUL, MELLOW & GENTLE
I hope my review can be of help to many of those out there that are continuously searching for the right relaxation music. I know how hard it is to choose from a list so big and have to trust the reviews from others to make a secure purchsce. The one thing I can tell you for sure about this CD is that it's mellow, unobtrusive and extremely relaxing. It is music that you don't have to think about - it simply does its job in the background allowing for you to naturally relax. It is like one 63 minute long song that continuously provides a soothing and graceful atmosphere. For those that can possibly find a problem with its simplicity, they've got to be crazy! There is a small part of the cd that contains a rainstorm which I feel is totally cleansing and purifying. It does not get louder during this part, it is extremely gentle. The entire CD resonates with me so well that I feel transformed by the end. It is balanced equally. It is one experience to play it during a massage and witness such incredible healing take place and it is another experience to play it to meditate to. It serves very well in various ways.

I love this CD so much that I contacted the musician himself to inquire about future volumes of Detaching the World and to compliment him. Let me tell you, if you talk to this guy you'll find yet another deep and profound respect for his music beyond what you allready found out by just listening to the music. He is so dedicated and compassionate. I can't wait for his upcoming release of Vol. 2. One last thing... as a massage therapist, the hands on work is the most important part of the session.

For anyone using the music as the more important part of the work, something is wrong. That’s why this CD is great - because it serves well being mellow and unobtrusive in the background allowing for me as the therapist to do the real work. It sets the atmosphere not too much or too little. Detaching the World is PERFECT - I love it! (and so do my clients). By the way, the musician made this cd with the help of a massage therapist. They did it right!
