This compilation marks the establishment of the Hearts of Space radio program's very own label imprint. Continuing with the space music format established by the popular public radio show, initial Hearts of Space signees included Kevin Braheny, Constance Demby, Bill Douglas, and Al Gromer Khan. While early pieces from Braheny and Douglas access ...
This project was created to raise awareness and money to aid in the preservation of Antarctica, with a portion of the proceeds going to the Cousteau Society and other environmental organizations working toward that goal. Opening appropriately with the main theme to Vangelis's famous album, Antarctica, Polar Shift also features selections by ...
Constance Demby's monumental Novus Magnificat (1986) took its inspiration from the sacred choral and organ music of J.S. Bach. The overall impact of that piece was one of spiritual deliverance, that the heavens and all its angelic choirs arrived to welcome you. It is an incredibly moving piece, but Demby and her celestial inspiration gave the ...
Sanctum Sanctuorum is Constance Demby's companion to Faces of the Christ. She built this set from the basics of that CD. She makes it quite clear that this deep space music is intended for meditation and introspection. The soundscapes just reach out and grab listeners. The gentle orchestral tones, Gregorian chant samples, and Demby's own wordless ...
This two-part album of symphonic space music by Constance Demby is a must-have. Divinely inspired? Probably so; for those who believe in Fate, the timing of its release was in alignment with the arrival of the Harmonic Convergence. Demby, with her years on the road with an experimental music group, was used to creating massive spiritual works: ...
Set Free by Constance Demby delivers on the promise of its title. After her monumental 1986 spacemusic epic, Novus Magnificat, Demby had her work cut out for her. What does one compose, exactly, after midwifing a Galactic Birth? To the celestial fields of play, to blissful exuberance. The album begins with the very springy "Waltz of Joy"; to waltz ...
This collection of high-tech cyber-trance-house-inspired ambient music rejects traditional song form in favor of an open soundscape blueprint. Artists such as Constance Demby, Al Gromer Khan, Suspended Memories, and Steve Roach are just some of the pioneers of contemporary ambient music represented here. Their music is tranquil and illuminating, ...
Ascension features a roster of established new age artists and some new talents. The album includes tracks by Adiemus' Miriam Stockley, Richard Burmer, Chris Spheeris, Constance Demby and Christopher Franke. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide
Take away a perhaps pompous Celtic track (Mychael & Jeff Danna 's "The Drowning Plains" ) and Mantovani-sounding strings of Constance Demby's "Eternal Return" and the resulting potpourri is exquisite. I think that is very good for a label sampler. The Hearts of Space label sprang from the syndicated public radio program of the same name. ...
Constance Demby has a special meditative affinity for the hammered dulcimer; when struck by wooden hammers, its nearly 100 strings can create a swirling explosion of sound that seems to pave a path to eternity. Sacred Space Music offers two extended pieces. "The Longing" broils with the dulcimer's waves of sound; overhead, piano and viola hold ...
New age heavyweights, many with ambient leanings, dominate the Celestial Journey sampler, which features contributions from Brian Eno, Steven Halpern, Christoph Franke, Constance Demby, Michael Stearns, Gabrielle Roth, Patrick O'Hearn, and Robert Rich, among others. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide

After a five-year hiatus, Constance Demby released two new CDs in March of 2000. Faces of the Christ is the soundtrack to an Avalon Productions film of the same name. The CD has four separate compositions with seamless transitions between them. In essence, the soundtrack is one single 59-minute piece. Demby has a reputation for creating and ...
A very nice collection of ambient and space music cuts, with a mixture of the traditional (Kevin Braheny & Tim Clark, Tangerine Dream, Patrick O'Hearn) and the less often sampled (Dik Darnell, Mars Lasar, Harold Budd & Brian Eno). The mood tends to rise and fall too often for the album to be easily classed with the ambient crowd, but it does fit ...
