ABMP Certified Music Download Summer 2016

ABMP Certified members are eligible for free music downloads once per quarter courtesy of sighTUNES from At Peace Media. The current offering is Massage Gold: Music for Massage and Healing, which offers beautiful relaxation music by acclaimed flutist Clookai. Massage Gold offers a musical soundscape ideal for massage, aromatherapy, reflexology, and healing. Total run time is 60-plus minutes.

Clookai has been playing the flute and Irish tin whistle since the age of 12. Her passion for music started at a young age, when she frequented live music venues around Leicestershire with her parents. Joining a band at 12, just three months after owning her first flute, was the start of a variety of different musical experiences that helped affirm the musical blood in her veins. By the age of 14, she was frequently requested by local musicians to perform as a session musician at shows and on album recordings. If you love Clookai’s solo album Massage Gold, you’ll also want to include Spa Gold, by the ensemble Aramara (which includes Clookai along with Chris Conway and Zorpinda Zorpin), in your spa and massage music collection.

ABMP Certified members can download the album on their member discount page
