SoulSongs
A SoulSong is beautiful piece of music composed intuitively and personally for you. It is meant to capture your essence in music. A companion meditation piece may be added.
Meditation Music
I create serene, ethereal soundscapes aimed at fostering tranquility and peace. My meditation music encourages relaxation, introspection, and respite from challenges.
Music Transcription
Because I have perfect pitch, I am able to hear music and transcribe it into written sheet music. I start with an audio file you provide, and create the written music using easy-to-read professional software.

About SoulSongs
How are SoulSongs created?
Laurie's process for composing SoulSongs is thoughtful and authentic:
1 - Initial Connection
Let's meet ~ face-to-face or online. Our sincere conversation will help me know you and understand your unique qualities.
2 - Meditative Insight
After our conversation I engage in a meditative process which provides the foundational music elements for your SoulSong.
3 - Creative Emergence
With that foundation, I embark on the creation of your SoulSong. A piano sound typically serves as a rich and expressive base, with additional sounds woven throughout to enhance the depth and texture.
4 - Collaborative Refinement
As your song evolves, I'll connect with you a few times to ensure it resonates with you. If you prefer to simply wait for a finished product, that's fine too!
Add a SoulMeditation
SoulSongs are typically structured much like other songs, with a melody and definable song sections.I can also create a companion meditation piece, or SoulMeditation, which retains chord patterns from your SoulSong but in an ambient, ethereal musical style which is perfect for meditating.
Hear a sample
This SoulSong is a heartfelt dedication to a cherished friend. I named it "Timeless" in honor of our long-standing bond.

About Music Transcription

The main theme for Ancient Soul came during a meditation with other intuitive women. This inspired the rest of the piece.
The Clearing evolved from a chord progression and groove that came to me during a session with an intuitive guide.

(Meditative Insight phase of SoulSong creation)
I concentrate wholly on the individual, focusing on my understanding of their essence
This process clears my mind, opening it to the flow of inspiration and musical ideas
In this receptive state, I receive musical 'downloads' - the initial spark from which the song is created
