Lotus Dream by Shambhu
"EXCEPTIONAL"
"Lotus Dream elevates Shambhu to an exceptional new level of musical proficiency. This is reflective music, like a mirror of your soul as you are listening. The melodicism is quite beautiful and flows like a river of sound through you. Melodic and sweet, it takes you away to another place. Your musical journey of relaxation and meditation
~ Keith "MuzikMan" Hannaleck - NEW AGE MUSIC REVIEWS
“INTROSPECTIVE YET EXPANDING, GROUNDING AND LIBERATING.”
"His compositions lift you effortlessly into a place where melody, breathing space, and spirit intertwine, creating experiences that are more like gentle journeys than just mere songs.”
~ Dyan Garris, NEW AGE NOTES RADIO
Lotus Dream is the 10th album from guitarist and composer Shambhu—a calming musical journey that blends acoustic and electric guitars, piano, and ambient textures.
Following his acclaimed albums Reflections and Acoustic Oasis, Shambhu expands his sonic landscape with a spacious, emotionally rich collection of nine original tracks. Each piece is designed to create a sanctuary of sound—music for stillness, healing, and inner reflection.
Drawing on years of extemporaneous piano improvisations, minimalist arrangements, and a deep belief in melody as the heart of expression, Shambhu's creativity flows gracefully between grounded acoustic moments, electric new age blues, and cinematic ambient atmospheres.
Featured tracks include the lyrical opener Shall We, the fingerstyle warmth of Awakened Dreams, the celestial Ananya, and Resilience—a new age blues collaboration with jazz guitarist Leo Steinriede, following their SiriusXM-featured track Openings.
"Lotus Dream reflects both the calm and satisfaction that we seek and the quiet tensions of our time which I felt while flowing many of these songs, said Shambhu. "I hope they offer release, hope, and beauty through every note."
Mixed and mastered in Dolby Atmos Spatial Audio by Todd Boston.
