Romantic notions of outer space as a boundless frontier of mystery and wonder come to mind while listening to the cosmic sounds of Jonn Serrie's AND THE STARS GO WITH YOU. The fact that Serrie's albums are the music of choice at planetariums around the globe is no surprise - this is the music of space… if sound was possible out in the cosmos, this is what many would image it sounding like. This new remastered version of the classic Serrie album features all the artist's trademark touches in polished form - fantasias of sweeping synthesizers, elusive bits of melody and rhythm that float in and out of the album's musical fabric and a plethora of twinkly keyboard effects. This edition also features one bonus track: "And With You 2."

Who knew the outer limits could seem so intimate? Jonn Serrie continues to flirt with the wonders of space and the romantic notions of its mysteries with the long awaited LUMIA NIGHTS. Serrie trademarks like velvety synthesizers, twinkly keyboard tones and brisk wind effects are used abundantly throughout these spacescapes. This time around, he also incorporates some minor rhythm elements and piano wanderings as well, which gives the music a slight jazz flair. Songs like "Starshower" and "Deep Mystery" will instantly appeal to fans of his earlier works; both are deep and airy with layers upon layers of dreamy synthesizers. Other pieces, like "Tidepools," show that the artist is not afraid to experiment with new elements.
Cross-vast lands and seas on a journey lead by your spiritual guide.
Travel through hidden worlds of natural splendor with a heightened sense of perspective.
Move through millions of years in seconds while drifting on a sense of dreams.
Wrap your mood in color, rhythm and motion.
""Out of the Blue"" consists of 3D models and animation of tropical rain forest, caves, Mayan Indian ruins, botanical, Egyptian civilization, hieroglyphics and many real world phenomenon's'.
Imaginative computer animation blended with nature photography, video and dynamic motion. Vivid colors are used to push DVD format, your equipment and your cortex to the maximum. Authentic Egyptian and Mayan hieroglyphics have been translated to messages of peace, prosperity and spiritual guidance.
Spirit Keepers is a musical offering that combines the ethereal world of space music with
ancient Native American tribal music. The merging of these two musical forms produces a magical listening experience that is vast in scope, and one that reflects the musicians' deep personal respect for Native customs and traditions.
Written and performed by the acknowledged master and pioneer of space music this music has been specifically produced with stargazers in mind – it is the ideal accompaniment to an evening spent admiring the wonders of the night sky - with or without a telescope. Sleeve notes have been written by David Levy, co-discoverer of the Shoemaker-Levy comet.
"For a while now," Serrie explains, "I've wanted to go back to the AND THE STARS GO WITH YOU format and re-explore deep celestial regions. I used the model of a night of sky observing and what might be happening in the mind's eye of the observer. I also wanted a professional astronomer to give me an opinion of how close the music came to the actual feeling and experience, so I contacted David Levy. I was honored that he contributed the liner notes to THE STARGAZER'S JOURNEY."
As with much of Serrie's recorded work, the galactic soundscapes sound surprisingly warm and have a calm yet transcendent appeal for a wide audience

Jonn adds a more romantic element to his space music sound. Inspired by a small village in Tibet, this album is beautifully haunting with slow off-beat rhythms and subtle melodies.
