Travel with GRAMMY® Winner and three time GRAMMY® Nominee Darlene
Koldenhoven and her musicians on the blissful highway with her upcoming New Age
instrumental album, “Traveling the Blissful Highway” (10/14/22). There are twelve
instrumental tracks including four with her angelic, harmonic vocalese, occasionally
used as background instrumentation. All of her compositions and arrangements
invite us to go out and see the world and have a good rest at the end of an exquisite
day. There are 53:46 minutes of colorful timbres and some nature sounds to keep
you balanced, focused, refreshed, and joyfully relaxed. Darlene performs on
keyboard synths, creating a culture of calm: half the album has ethnic influences to
gently keep you going on the road and half lets you exit to the rest areas. Even when
real travel is not in the picture, pack these traveling soundscapes for your inner and
outer journey. With this album, the only passport you’ll need for these destination
cities – peace, calm, happiness and bliss is your own mindfulness to visit them and
the album as your tour guide.
