The titles of the eight compositions are the steps in conflict resolution, and it is my belief that peace is possible between any two willing individuals. Given the high level of stress and dissension in our world, in 2017 I decided to compose an album dedicated to conflict resolution, Liquid Mind XII: Peace. The soothing and calming Liquid Mind albums seem to have an immediate "slowing down" effect on many listeners, and may also help folks of all ages (and their pets) get to sleep, and relax deeply after a tension-filled day.
