This is an exquisitely crafted, hi-level Japanese production with special effects and close-up shots of the artist in action. Captured during Demby's tour of Tokyo, the magic of this Summer Solstice concert was filmed by a ten-man camera team with multiple cameras (on the ceiling, on the keyboards, etc) in a grand hall filled with magnificent temples, sculptures and works of art. The stunning visuals, Demby's inspired music, and the sublime Japanese artistry, combine to make this a classic work of art and an unforgettable experience.
The concert is accompanied by a 30 minute interview by Bay Area Lifestyles, with visits to the artists' home studio, where she talks about her life and career, and gives spontaneous performances on the Hammer Dulcimer and Sonic Steel Space Bass.

Leading mother figure and genuinely evolutionary composer and performer of New Age music, Constance Demby makes a piece of shimmering beauty on her 1982 offering, Sacred Space Music. The recording's first half, "The Longing," is a magical blend of hammered dulcimer, piano, and viola, a piece that speaks for the hungry human spirit. In answer, the second half, "Radiance," brings together the pleasing sounds of hammered dulcimer, string synthesizer, tinkling bells, and heavenly choral vocals. Elegant, exotic, and edifying, Demby's inspired music is sonic light by which to see.

"Sanctum Sanctuorum" is majestic, sacred symphonic music, comprised of Gregorian chant, ambient atmospheres, and lots of that special 'Demby magic'. A journey into a sanctuary of sublime peace and serenity, this is extraordinary new music from Constance Demby, seemingly at just the appropriate time. The soaring passages of human emotions run the gamut from soft & tender, to passionate & dramatic, with space elements throughout, seemingly as only this unique artist is able. Her music is to be treasured."

Set Free deserves a place next to the symphonic space-music classic of Novus Magnificat. This release journeys even deeper into the intensely moving electronic soundscapes that was developed in other recordings. Newly noticeable are rhythmic influences from the Balinese and African cultures that are unabashedly ritualistic and celebratory in nature. But, Demby has not forgotten her roots; the last four tracks, taken together, create a majestic celestial voyage for inner travelers.

"Recorded in 1980; Sunborne is a full-bodied, five-movement, symphonic tone-poem with lyrics from the "Emerald Tablets," an ancient text by Toth / Hermes Trismegistus. The recording--using keyboard synthesizer, zither, gamelon, the sparkling hammered dulcimer, cheng, tabla, percussion, and vocals--evokes ancient primordial stirrings and heady futuristic space voyages, watery depths and exploding rays of light. The title cut swirls and blips with inner electronic space galaxies powered by a driving percussion and Demby's centered, hypnotic voice. "One with the Light" begins with the breathtaking and resonant Chinese cheng which is then joined by the plaintive cries of the Whale Sail. Its voyage through the empty, echoing void is heartbreaking until Demby's eternal voice encourages its return to the light. Sunborne is both a feast for the ears and an incredible vibrational voyage for the soul.
