Unique and Captivating

"Russill Paul has created his own blend of sacred chants using unique instrumentation and harmonies. I have performed with Russill and was honored to be a part of the prayerful and rhythmic sounds that emanated from his music. Using synthesizer, drums, and the instrument that he created, the Unitar, along with his enchanting voice, Russill is able to capture and create an ambiance which is very conducive to yoga, prayer, body work, meditation, or even background music to lift your spirits. This is not music to "fall asleep to"; entrancing, but not boring! It is very individualized to Russill's own unique and captivating style. His gentle spirit truly shines through this music. I highly recommend his work."
Yoga Chants by a Master Sound Yogi Musician

"If there are ever CD's of authentic yoga chants that make you want to throw away your old stereo in the trash and go out and buy a top of the line sound system to enjoy the musical experience, Russill Paul's music tops the list!
I have enjoyed listening to Russill Paul's music since 2001. I've listened to the chants for pleasure, to practice mantra chanting, in preparation for meditation, for doing asanas, driving in the car, and even at the gym!
In Russill Paul's music, you will experience a fusion of Eastern and Western sounds blended to please, exemplifying some of the best music of the genre.
Russill Paul is a dedicated sound yogi who not only records wonderful CD's, but also offers first-rate retreats, teaches university courses and writes (see The Yoga of Sound by New World Library), exemplifying his commitment to his artistic craft and his generosity to share the treasures of the golden smile that lives inside music.
You can't go wrong with Paul's authentic, masterfully recorded Yoga Chants!"
