We recently featured Jade Ashtangini as she took us on a transcendental trip with her meditative composition, Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, so when we heard that the visionary composer had just released the brand new, Heart Touching Moments, we couldn’t wait to experience it!
Drawing us in with immersive piano bass notes and a dimensional strings arrangement, we are immediately hypnotized by Heart Touching Moments, which evokes its intention in mere moments.
The composition takes us on an inward journey as we are given time to self reflect, before the piano performance becomes more dynamic, lending itself to a cinematic energy and the thoughtful intricacy that we can come to love from the talented artist.
A reminder that Jade Ashtangini’s name is rooted in Vedic history and the cosmic and divine energy from the yogi really comes through with the energy of Heart Touching Moments. Her intention “to help people connect more deeply spiritually” is shared poetically on the piece, where for the final moments, we experience an ascending arpeggio taking to to the astral realm.
Speaking on the release, Jade tell us, “Heart Touching Moments is a mellow cello and piano duet, a deep and touching piece of acoustic instrumental. To feel the art of drawing the bow on the strings. When listening to beautiful music, there should be such a feeling that the heart is moved.”
Jade, who resides in Dallas, Texas and Taiwan has been formally trained since she was a young child. We learn that she is also known as Chen I Hua. Her singles Mother Earth is Calling, Life As It Is, Long Time Sun (Instrumental), and 猫のぬくもり were included on editorial stations like Relaxing, New Age Instrumental, and AMP: Fresh Cuts by Pandora Music, and A Rainy Day in Temple was also included on the “cottagecore piano” Spotify editorial playlist.
We love the energy that Jade Ashtangini exudes with her artistry, and have added Heart Touching Moments to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to stream her wider discography and anticipate future releases from the legend.
