Immerse yourself in a beautifully rich and soothing world of celestial harps, angelic choirs, magical layers of orchestral and synthesized sounds, twelve 5-minute tracks flowing seamlessly together, a world of heavenly, elysian peace.
Elysian Peace is an uninterrupted hour of music offering a universally appealing rest in today's hectic world. The twelve 5-minute tracks flow seamlessly from one to the next, providing a gentle and unobtrusive way to time such activities as relaxation, prayer, study, walking and so on.
Beneath its apparent simplicity is a carefully structured and crafted composition. The work is skillfully produced with computers and synthesizers, using a variety of acoustic, orchestral and synthesized sounds. A main melody and other musical ideas recur throughout the piece, reappearing with different instruments, textures, tempos and keys, providing both familiarity and variation.
"My main intention in creating this album was to make it as beautiful, warm and rich as possible. I made a conscientious effort to permeate the music with subtle variation so that while it makes excellent background music, it also retains interest through repeated attentive listening."
This music does more than merely encourage your to relax - it picks you up with strong but gentle arms and carries you to another place, a world of heavenly, elysian peace.
DUGGUP - Feb 25th, 2007
"[T]he music has been genuinely sweated over, this thing is a perfectionists dream. As usual I am fascinated by the textures he has chosen and his piano playing in Part 12 is just gorgeous. Some of it is just so subtle and delicate that you wonder how on earth he did it."
"I think that Bill's work transcends the genre, I have listened to way too many "Celtic New Age" albums of late and Elysian Peace exhibits none of the "cookie cutter" cliches that you will find over and over again."

BRUCE ROWLAND - award-winning Australian composer
"Sometimes you come across a CD that really stands out from the crowd, a case in point being Elysian Peace by Bill Canty. It's a little unusual, being designed for the relaxation market, but is far above the normal standard of available relaxation music."
"The standard of the compositions alone is wonderful, and the production quality is easily as good as that found in expensive studio albums. All in all, the pieces blend seamlessly together and work superbly - either for relaxation, or for just great listening pleasure."
"I have heard some of Bill Canty's works before and this album once again showcases his unique arranging and compositional talents."
