Zen Breakfast - Karunesh
List Price: $14.95
A student came across a sage
in the forest. "Let us share some tea,"
said the wise elder. And as they sat together,
he began pouring. Between rapid-fire questions,
the student began to notice that his cup
had filled and yet the sage continued pouring,
threatening to soak his robes. "Why
do you keep pouring when my cup and saucer
are full?" inquired the student. Came
the reply, "Why keep asking questions
when your head is full?"
Weaving exotic voices and
cross-cultural elements through his sparkling
tapestry, Karunesh finds that perfect balance
point where classical, world and healing
music join, carefully coaxing love's caress
from every note.
Zen Breakfast is sacred music
from far-off visionary places that touch
the heart ever so close to home.

Reviews
"Like shimmering silver light reflecting off
moonlit minarets of the soul, the soaring passages
of Zen Breakfast find each note carefully conceived
and each instrument reaching for the heavens above.
Karunesh makes unabashedly romantic music -- with
his plaintive flutes, stirring piano motifs and
delicate guitars all beautifully at play, with angelic,
choral voices floating on high. Delicate, crystal
clear bells chime to signal anew waking moments
on each composition rising form the abundantly dreamy
themes that are carefully shaped to take form in
patient manner through these extravagant excursions.
Weaving exotic voices and cross-cultural elements
through his sparkling tapestry, Karunesh finds that
perfect balance point where classical, world and
healing music join, carefully coaxing love's caress
from every note. Zen Breakfast, not unlike the similarly
named pioneering predecessor of fifteen years ago,
Deep Breakfast by Ray Lynch, is sacred music from
far off visionary places that touch the heart ever
so close to home. And it is destined to become every
bit as much a classic release, withstanding the
test of time like the purest musical treasures of
our generation."
- Lloyd Barde, Backroads Music
"Unlike a lot of meditation music, which is
deeply ambient, Zen Breakfast is filled with soft,
lovely melodies, making it wonderful for deep as
well as casual listening. Karunesh has created an
album filled with gentle grace and sweet peace."
