Releases a new recording

One full hour of mellow instrumental flute music, and for a limited time only, you can buy it as a download for only 99 cents! Buy Tranquility Hideaway Here If you want to purchase a physical CD, contact me directly at Music@KatEpple.com  for a special sale price, $10 + shipping.

Here is a description of “Tranquility Hideaway”:
Music for Massage, Meditation, Insomnia, Relaxation, and Balance. One hour of continuous musical serenity, created on the soft, low timbre of the bass flute, accompanied by a subtle heartbeat-like drum.
The music on Tranquility Hideaway was specifically created to inspire peace, connection, calmness, sleep, yoga,healing, soothing, peace, opening, Tai Chi, and alignment. The natural, transparent sound encourages the brain to center, slow down, and de-stress. Because there are “no surprises” in the music, it can be listened to as an effective lullaby, to prepare the mind, body, and spirit for sleep, the spa, introspection, sacred space, intimacy, bodywork, therapy, and reflection.

This music really can help with falling asleep, sleep, sleep, for adults, children, and babies. After many years of promising to create this music for my friends and fans who are massage therapists, hypnotherapists, meditators, insomniacs, parents of children with ADHD and ADD, teachers, spa professionals, trance workers, hospice professionals, leaders of guided meditation, doulas, animal trainers, and healers, it is finally here. The music is not designed for listening sessions, instead, it is an experience of floating in a calm flute lake while still connected to the Earth by a Native Heart Drum.

I've had the privilege of listening to it and to own a copy, I feel quite honored to have Kat as a collaborative artist in this project and as a friend with such talent and dedication to her craft.

Ambassador Kat Epple, shared the following thought with the members of Planet Earth 2.0 Facebook group regarding the Facebook Worldwide Artist Search.

It was my honor to be appointed as WPMP Artist/Ambassador for the United States in 2006. Since that time, I have enjoyed meeting the other WPMP Artist/Ambassadors in person and online. As WPMP Ambassadors, we all strive to unite the world in a common vision of world peace, environmental stewardship, world health, global cooperation and tolerance. Each artist brings to the project, his or her own unique art, cultural perspective, and individual approach for promoting the concept of peace and harmony. Brilliant artist Tiité, created this innovative global work of art which embraces a vision of global peace, and unites a network of prominent international artists who are all committed to working towards peace. As this matrix of artists, countries, and peace markers continues to grow, I believe that it will help to move the world closer to peace, health and benevolence.

WPMP USA artist Ambassador to  Kat Epple attended the memorial services for maestro Robert Rauschenberg in New York City on October 29, 2008. Kat shares with us the story of the encounter with former president Clinton in her own words.

"I had the honor to be invited to perform on flute for the memorial service for renowned artist, my friend, Robert Rauschenberg in New York City. The event took place at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the Egyptian Temple of Dendur. As I sat in the "reserved for presenters" row, a tall man walked up to the chair next to me and asked, "May I sit here?" (since I had placed my flute on that chair). I looked up, and it was former President Bill Clinton! He sat on an aisle seat next to me throughout the event. We talked about many things including my flute collection, his saxophone collection, his presidential library, the election, art, music, Hillary, and our mutual friend, Bob Rauschenberg. We both had funny stories to tell each other about Bob. We also spoke about peace, and I even had a chance to mention the Worldwide Peace Marker Project!

When President Clinton took the stage, he spoke eloquently about Rauschenberg and his contribution to the world, not just the art world. Clinton stayed through the event to hear me play Native American Medicine Flute as the closing music. The sound of the primitive flute echoed and reverberated off the stone arches and walls of glass. As I exited the stage, President Clinton walked up to take my hand, and told me that he loved my music, and that it was a pleasure meeting me. Immediately after that, his Secret Service Agents swept him out of the Museum.

I was thrilled to have had the opportunity to sit and talk with President Bill Clinton one-on-one for an hour and a half. He is a brilliant, engaging person.

The other presenters at the event included: Artists JIm Rosenquist, Chuck Close, Ed Schlossberg, Tricia Brown, Merce Cunningham, Brice Marden, and Darryl Pottorf.

I will be performing for the Robert Rauschenberg Memorial in Venice Italy in May 2009."

Thank you Kat, Maestro Robert Rauschenberg will remain a source for inspiration for all of us and will be sorely missed.

  WPMP Ambassador Kat Epple performs at the Light Center in Black Mountain

Ambassador Epple takes her collection of flutes from around the world to delight the attending audience with the magic of her music and her commitment to peace.

August 11, 2008

following are a few images from Kat's North Carolina visit at the light center and a narrative in her own words.

I had a GREAT time in North Carolina!! Hot summer days enhanced by fresh, juicy, cool peaches and fresh white corn sold by charming locals at a roadside produce stand. I enjoyed glimpses of a crystal clear river as it trickled, pooled, and thundered alongside the winding mountain road. Flowers, hummingbirds, and butterflies were inspiring.

 

Black Mountain Light Center was an interesting concert venue, far away from anything but mountains and wilderness. You couldn't hear ANY traffic noise.....

The dome had very interesting acoustics. It had a complex slap back that created a rhythm when I played flute, and the echo was different depending on where I stood  in the dome. The dome dictated the tempo and rhythm of the music, if I didn't abide by that, then the dome would fight with the music.

 

I also recorded a lot of very cool music with the guys. They live in a beautiful house on a mountainside in Hendersonville, NC.

Together, we, Peter, James, Nathan and Miko created a brand new sound which will be featured on our upcoming album, and at our concert in Lake Lure in October.
