by Jim BrenholtsSilvia Nakkach is an inspirational and inspired practitioner of the art of healing music. Invocation showcases her sound design expertise. She combines chants, bowls, keyboards, gentle percussion, and strings to build walls of symphonic new age music. Her arrangement gives the set a cascading effect as the atmospheres build upon and fold into each other. It is like a Max Escher drawing. There is no beginning and no end. The music enters the soul and perpetuates itself. This healing set has strong overtone textures and orchestral timbres. It will appeal to fans of Jonathan Goldman, Deuter, Constance Demby, and Deborah van Dyke.
