Open Soul is now available on iTunes!
Thank you for waiting over a decade for this new album! Open Soul is the first of a double CD collection of stripped-down acoustic songs, consisting mainly of piano and vocals. These songs share my journey of the past several years and come from the purist part of my inner world. Music sparks hope within me! I hope that by listening to this little record something may spark in you too. Thank you for listening. Namaste.

I love all your music, so many ways, thougtful and awesome songs, and your perfect warm vocal... I hope it is okay for - as I wrote you on ccmixter - that I used my remix of "New Earth" for my non-profit album "Night Launch". Please send your postal address to pascal@syngularity.de and I will send your copy to you. Happy Easter from Pascal

Emma, you surpassed yourself with this amazing and beautiful album. The piano music is soothing and inviting and the lyrics speak to my soul. Not sure of my favorites yet...need to listen as they make their way into my heart.
Love you, momma

Gorgeous work. My favorites include Harmony and Inside Outside (especially the fabulous harmonies) and the lyrics to Soul Wants to Grow speak to me in particular at this time. I loved reading your comments for each songs. I was also particularly touched by the lyrics of The Garden today. Love you baby! Congrats on sparkling work!
