Latest release:
Galactica Electronica
Next is now, world music as the single most potent force in the culture of fusion ... World music-makers are like shamans, carrying us on magic carpets of riffs and melodies through states of consciousness that spin us out of time to lands not yet invented but glimpsed on the aural horizon ... And so we see that music brings us, in the jumping of our cells, from what is past to what is trying to become the future. lt expresses and fulfills our need to hear the spirit in the dark.
(Jean Houston in Jump Time, Sentient Publ. 2004)

In the timeless style of Café del Mar, Buddha Bar, Trance Planet and others that have established a strong trend in Compilation CD's, Music Mosaic expands new horizons of exotic & blended sounds.
A Company with Vision
Music Mosaic encourages all cultures and nations to live together respectfully on our planet Earth. The music features multicultural expressions from many diverse countries, yet the different sounds flow together into one harmonious image...like a beautiful mosaic! Each CD features exceptional tracks from various international and local artists based around a specific theme and style of music.
Theme-CD's require Profound Craftsmanship
A seasoned composer, producer & musician, Ariel, co-owner, selects the best fitting tracks by theme and skilfully blends them into unique sound journeys throughout the CD. The first four products were created in 2001: Lotus Groove, Didgeridoo Trance-Dance, Healing Sounds and Inner Peace. They reflect a range of moods from fast Trance-dance to deeply meditative. 20 more compilations and one DVD followed up til May 2009.
The compilations are tested in local markets, then subjected to exhaustive fine-tuning with feedback from customers and contributing musicians. When he is finally satisfied, Ariel has the CDs re-mastered and pressed for global distribution. This process of review, selection, refinement, testing and final production spans hundreds of artists and tracks, taking months to perfect. At present there are close to 20 Theme CDs in different states of completion.

Providing full sound tracks for all albums, artist & track information, product updates, media reports, cross-marketing links and online ordering will ensure Ama & Ariel of keeping a "finger on the pulse" of their vast market.
