Vibrations
Music is the foundation of life.
Beautiful and joyful music is made
by nature each day to let us know
she is still alive and well. When
nature allows her off-springs to be
heard by way of sound duplication,
known to us as musical composition,
she expects us to translate her
beautiful modifications in the best
way known to the heart. Vibrational
vibes brings to you the best on the
market in healing ambient and
natural music that heals the soul.
AMBER WAVES
By: Christopher Franke
Soundtrack: What The Bleep Do We Know!?
Born in Berlin, Germany in April, 1953,
Christopher Franke studied classical music and
composition at the Berlin Conservatory. At that
time he was influenced by such composers as
Krzysztof Penderecki, John Cage and Karl-Heinz
Stockhausen and was actively involved in rock and
jazz music.
Together with his composition teacher, Franke set
up a sound studio within a Berlin music school.
The experimental excursions resulted in a project
that evolved into the Berlin School of Electronic
Music. It was there that Christopher Franke met
Edgar Froese and became a member of the group
Tangerine Dream. He pioneered the fascinating
soundscapes of the Moog Synthesizer and
explored the Moog Sequencer creating driving,
hypnotic rhythm patterns. One year later, Franke
brought Peter Baumann into the band. Between
1970 and 1988, Tangerine Dream released 37
albums and composed scores for more than 30
feature films, including "Legend", "Sorcerer",
"Thief", "Firestarter", and "Risky Business".
After leaving the Group in 1988, he released his
first solo album, "Pacific Coast Highway" in 1991.
That same year he founded the Berlin Symphonic
Film Orchestra and opened a new, much needed
recording studio in Hollywood as he became a
successful film music composer on his own. In
1993, Christopher started the record label, "Sonic
Images Records", and subsequently released
numerous studio recordings and soundtracks. He
has composed the music for feature films, such as
the blockbuster "Universal Soldier", as well as for
television, including the cult Sci-Fi series "Babylon
5". 1997 witnessed the release of Franke's
critically acclaimed "The Celestine Prophecy - A
Musical Voyage", a companion CD to James
Redfield's best selling book "The Celestine
Prophecy".
More recently, Franke completed the score to the
epic "Tarzan and the Lost City", the influential
documentary "What the Bleep do we know?", the
hit-movie "Hooligans" starring Elijah Wood and
the new Sci-Fi movie "Babylon 5 - The Lost
Tales".
