What can I say about Paul Avgerinos that longtime readers of The Magical Buffet haven\u2019t heard before? Avgerinos has released easily over 30 albums of new age and jazz music, has won 2 Grammys, yet still did one of my bullshit 10 questions interviews way back when I started this website. Not only is he talented, but he\u2019s a real one (if that\u2019s still a phrase the youths use).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As with almost everything related to The Magical Buffet lately, I\u2019ve fallen behind on talking about Avgerinos and his music. Fortunately, I\u2019ve been given a chance to redeem myself today by discussing his latest album, \u201cGratitude Joy 3\u201d, a mere 3 months and a few weeks after it was released.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I find myself at loss as to how to describe the sound. Generally, I find Avgerinos\u2019 work falls squarely into one of two camps: gazing out into the distances or refreshing uplift. \u201cGratitude Joy 3\u201d seems to linger between the two. This album is devotional and \u201ccentral to its distinctive sound is Siddhant Bhatia\u2019s groundbreaking work with Binaural Beats, masterfully leading listeners into a heightened theta brainwave state for profound rest and meditation.\u201d It\u2019s an enjoyable, if hard to define, listening experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re looking for some new music for meditation and\/or reflection, I highly recommend checking out \u201cGratitude Joy 3.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
