  • Art Lindemanis

    Art Lindemanis

    Artful Touch creates an original blend of acoustic and electronic New Age Ambient Mood Music. Art’s professional experience in therapeutic bodywork started over eight years ago and includes three years on the teaching staff at The New Mexico Academy Of Healing Arts. Soon after discovering massage music, he became inspired to apply his musical background towards creating original songs that could encourage the kinds of healing and deep relaxation found within therapy sessions. The experiences found within the practice of therapeutic bodywork, both on land and in water, have been a direct influence on the intentions and rhythms of his music.

  • Andre Mayeux

    Andre Mayeux

    One shudders to think of how many emcees have mispronounced Andre Mayeux’s name onstage, to say nothing of telemarketers say it…”Now, when I play with new people, I tell them “Just think of Andre Mayeux (my-u) from the bayou.” We think it’s safe to assume that both Sheena Easton and Juice Newton can pronounce his name, since he’s toured as a keyboardist with them for several years. It’s also probably a safe bet that the music staff at LSU in Baton rouge can pronounce it correctly, since that’s where he obtained his composition degree. Andre has also studied Scoring Music to Film at UCLA. He and his family have lived in Southern California for the past 34 years where he has composed and produced music for film, television, commercials and recordings. His music is heard all over the world.

    "To create new music is exciting and challenging, especially in this genre of relaxation spa music. From composition and improvisation to production ideas and solutions, my aim is to be original and creative yet respectful of the mission to relax the listener and help the massage therapist, while maintaining the integrity of the music as an art form.  I want to keep the music uplifting and enlightening. I hope to find new directions with At Peace Media and push boundaries with imagination, musical resources and inspiration."

    Ken Elkinson saw his musical dreams come to fruition when he released his debut album of original piano solos in March, 1997. Entitled Midnight Conversation Ken's album had its roots in Pennsylvania at Muhlenberg College.  It was there that he found many comforts and sources of inspiration; the college's artistically minded, close-knit community and proximity to New York City helped shape Ken's outlook and composition.  Afther a short stint with a college rock band, Ken began preparing for his solo career during his junior year.  He credits much of his itinital songwriting success to Muhlenberg's stellar musical facilities.  "I never had to wait to play a beautiful baby grand piano, and this certainly kept the creative process flowing," recalls Ken.  Since then this prolific artist has created many ambient music albums which have become favorites amongst both massage therapists and their clients worldwide.

    Michael Benghiat

    A Santa Monica native, Michael Benghiat has experienced a multicultural musical palette since childhood. Accomplished on both the piano and guitar, Michael grew up in a home surrounded by music, with parents who not only treasured music but encouraged learning about music from a variety of cultural and ethnic heritages.This early exposure to the enduring folk traditions of Greek, Sephardic, Spanish, and Middle Eastern music as well as to classical orchestral music helped forge Michael’s unique musical sensibility. Michael’s curiosity and interest in non-western musical instruments and traditions finds expression today in his study and collection of exotic acoustic instruments from around the world. His ongoing explorations of musical culture are a natural extension of his BA degree and graduate level work in classical music composition at UCLA. The author of several books on the guitar, Michael’s work as a musician and composer reflects his desire to “reach more people than I can teach one-on-one.”

    "I enjoy creating music that leads you inward.  We all find ourselves refreshed by just the simple act of stopping for a moment and really relaxing.  I try to create a musical world that facilitates this." - Michael Benghiat
