The fluid movements of Tai Chi practice, with their organic balance of grace and exertion, are beautifully complemented with the stirring music of Merlin's Magic. Producer/composer Andreas Mock has crafted a set of melodies that is majestic with an oriental flair, not to mention a pervading sense of peace that makes you want to simply drift away while listening. The album is divided into three extended-length tracks: "Harmony (Tai Chi)," "Perfect Flow (Yin & Yang)" and "Centering (T'an Tien)." Each features a blissful, canon-style set of melodies that utilizes bamboo flute, koto-like keyboard tones, harp, cello, violin and piano. The music was specifically composed with different aspects of Tai Chi practice in mind. For example, the rhythms are meant to match with breathing patterns. It was also composed with the goal of being useful for both the Yang long and short form practices, as well as meditation.
