Abstract

In the 1960s certain composers, responding to the new, powerful vibrations of the Aquarian age, radically broke with traditional 20th century compositional styles and techniques and produced simple, incantational and meditative music reminiscent of earlier times and different cultures. These new revolutionary styles, whose effect has been to cleanse contemporary music of its ultra-rationality, have included minimalism, the new sacred music and synthesized New Age music. Such music has recently been categorized as New Consciousness Music (NCM). The composers involved are intuiting sound archetypes that bypass the rational mind and influence the higher centers of consciousness.
