There’s not a lot to say, so I won’t say a lot. Wave Hands is designed as background music for folks into t’ai chi, qi gong, or other types of meditation. Very gentle Chinese melodies will wash over your mind and heart, sometimes it blends so delicately into the æther than you’re barely aware of it. The instruments, strings, flutes, etc., sound pretty authentic. My fave tracks are “Waterplay,” “Buddha Arrives,” and “Inside the Heart.” Some of the other tracks sag; from an “active listening” standpoint, a lot of this music barely moves. Siebert composed and performed the music himself; it’s not going to inspire you to clean your house, but I would say for the most part he fulfills his meditative mission.
