Life In Balance - 　　It is not what we do – it is who we are. 　　 　　Life In Balance is a Pittsburgh-based nationally touring and recording duo committed to using sacred musical instruments merged with current technology to create an integrated sonic environment for transformation. We perform both “Sound Healing Meditation” (Inbreath) and Dance/Music Concerts utilizing global rhythms (Outbreath). 　　 　　We have personally grown and cultivated our audiences and venues through constant touring and meeting liked minded groups of people throughout the country. Our successes are measured in the connections that we make with the listeners, as well as CD sales. 　　 　　We are currently in heavy rotation on radio shows and were featured in the “Living Room Concert” series on the National Public Radio program “ECHOES”. Our music has been aired on the syndicated radio show "Music From The Hearts of Space", as well as many Internet radio stations like Astreaux World and Ambient US. Our music is heard all over the world. 　　 　　We have performed in hundreds of venues, some big in size others big in spirit. The important ones to us are the ones in which telepathy and magic happens - the ones where lasting impressions are made. 　　 　　We are forging ahead with our original music that cannot be defined as New Age, Ambient or Electronic. Ours is a hybridization and synthesis of these elements with early influences from Fripp and Eno, Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream and Peter Gabriel. 　　 　　Steve Sciulli: Co-Founder, Enhanced Japanese Shakuhachi, and concert flutes.
