"Where my last albums have explored outer nature as a place of healing - Bindu has been my attempt to explore our deepest inner nature. In deep states of meditation one can glimpse the truth expressed above. Said another way, that which is most deeply personal is most universal. In many ways the best way to help take care of the world is by quieting our minds and opening our hearts to the miracle of this moment, this life and each other. That is what bindu is about for me." -Dr. Michael Brant DeMaria
“My words can't do justice to what Michael Brant DeMaria has wrought on Gaia. That the artist has found a way to craft so many diverse world music soundscapes and also unite them into a singular musical vision showcases just how talented a performer and composer he is. DeMaria has obviously poured every ounce of his creative soul into Gaia and it shows. It's a stellar achievement and stands as a fitting portrait which captures the expansive nature of Mother Earth herself and the many peoples who populate her surface. Rating: Excellent”

Ocean takes the listener on a sonic adventure from the moving “Moonlit Sea” and the ethereal “Finding Forever” to the mysterious, “Diving Deep” and poignant “In Search of Home” that is at once a sonic massage and a healing journey of discovery. Using piano, keyboards, synthesizers, indigenous flutes, percussion and his own voice, Ocean is a journey into the inner depths of ambient music. As is the case with all his DeMaria’s albums, there is a story of one man’s journey through a sonic landscape - this time coalescing around the theme of the awesome and mysterious and healing power of the Ocean.
