    Silent Heart

    The silent heart weeps at the tragedy that surrounds, that is all encompassing, that destroys without uplifting, that seeks to dominate without care or consideration for fellow mankind.

    When the silent heart weeps it seeks comfort and solace in love and kindness, understanding and peace within the healing love of music, so gently and beautifully created as a gift to all in need of a silent time of reflection, solitude and enduring love.

    Kerani has in Silent Heart, her latest work of ten beautiful, gentle and loving songs, reached out with her divine music, offering the rich balm of healing as a gift to the world in a time when peace and love is so very badly in need.

    Feeling so very troubled by the tragedy surrounding her delivered daily on the news services, she felt that to compose songs with her rare, gifted insight and delicate harmonies, was to not only help her heal and cope with world tragedy, but would reach far and wide with comfort and love.

    Beginning with a Silent Heart, a rich orchestral piece with many layers, it is perfect for gently gliding into a silent space, which when followed with The Gift, written after a fan remarked that her music was a true gift to the world, her signature style of gentle and yet powerful piano wrapped around with soft orchestral harmonies is offered with subtle eloquence.

    Solitude, one of the divinely blissful songs,takes the dreamer to a place of peace with the soft melody wafting on the air, there to enjoy but not to intrude, offering serenity before moving into a more powerful but gentle conclusion.

    Perfect for a mellow moment Nocturne offers a little gentle romance, before allowing tender Anthem to effortlessly draw to a delicate finale, what could be considered as Kerani’s finest work yet, and her first scored for full orchestration.

    Silent Heart: love and perfection offered with kindness and humility.

  • Silent Smile

    Silent Smile

    To hold Silent Smile in your hand gives one a sensual pleasure: The colour, the weight, the illustrations, and the topics are rich and stimulating. Relevant and written for these troubled times, Mirjan believes the words and concepts contained within the book have been channelled to her from The Divine.

    While this may to many seem a little far-fetched, as the pages unfold and the words of wisdom, love and guidance become all encompassing, answering so many of the questions relevant in today’s society, the understanding is born that perhaps the words are directly from the Divine.

    It has long been forecast, in all religions, that there will come a time when “God’ will once again return to earth, bringing with him pure love; or in modern parlance, a way forward that is free of all of the many ills which plague society and have done since words where written and history recorded.

    As the topics unfold it rapidly becomes apparent that this time is, believe it or not, now; that the Divine already walk amongst us, offering a way forward filled with love, inner peace and happiness. The issue seems to be that we, as a complex society, are having trouble coming to terms with this concept, which in the words of John Lennon sum up the message nicely: ‘All we need is love!’ words which were and still are prophetic.

    How to find this love within is the message delivered; essentially how to find or rather rediscover the well of wisdom within us all, the wisdom that we carried at birth and will carry until death.

    Topics discussed include Love, Self Love, Worry, Fear, Soul Purpose, Light Verses Darkness and just about every other aspect of curiosity relating to the human form, frequently discussed at great length on talk back, self-improvement, consciousness websites and many more platforms beloved of the modern audience. Silent Smile holds all the answers, presenting often hard truth with compassion, understanding and importantly non-judgemental dialog.

    That love will conquer all of the issues ahead of us is the main message offered. To be able to do this we need to still our hearts, and with the help of nature, listening to the still, small voice we all carry within, and the help of the Divine Ones, find true inner peace and happiness.

     Mirjam relays to us many ways that we can commence this process, beginning with ourselves. To realise our full potential, we must be physically strong, pure, and develop our spirituality. Each chapter has advice on how to achieve this and to address one’s connectedness.

    Silent Smile has been referred by Cred Mutwa, Indigenous Elder of South Africa, to a ‘Holy book which will resurrect the human spirit in times when uncertainty and chaos, war, hunger and cataclysm are threatening the world.’

    He is totally correct.

  • Acoustic Christmas

    Acoustic Christmas

    For people who enjoy Christmas but simply do not buy into all the traditional glitter and bling, enjoy the beautiful carols but are looking for something a little festive and different, the absolutely beautiful album Acoustic Christmas from Camille Nelson is the perfect solution.

    A selection of well-known carols from across the world have been chosen,  played on the acoustic guitar, with guest vocalists joining in on several of the pieces to add a touch of the angelic to the much loved compositions to charm, comfort and relax over the Christmas season.

    Beginning with the traditional Come, All Ye Faithful the mood and ambience is established with this solo piece, which flows effortlessly into the much loved Joy To The world. Yahosh Bonner brings an exceptional beauty to the beautiful Little Drummer Boy, gracing the traditional melody with a modern, but comfortably laid back style.

    An outstanding piece is the gorgeous Still, Still, Still, sung by Kimberley Knighton, Britney Holman and Cardin Mckinney accompanied by very gentle guitar, comes as close to perfection as one can get. Melodious and slightly more up-tempo is the More Holiness Give Me which is perhaps not as well-known, but once again delicately put together, featuring the voices of Kimberley Knighton and Britney Holman.

    Upbeat and funky is the composition of Oh Holy Night – All Creatures of Our God and King a favourite of many and one that can be sung with great gusto, as it is with the powerful voice of Marj Desius, which then leads into the gentle, beautiful solo guitar version of Silent Night, a beloved carol of all.

    Delightful, enjoyable and charming Acoustic Christmas is an album that can be enjoyed over time, not just on Christmas day or during the festive season.
