The art of recorded music as a form of living mythology takes a renewed shape and focus in the 21st century on Sands Of Time—the seventh album by Holland’s esteemed keyboardist and composer Kerani. Although Sands Of Time is inspired by ancient Greek mythology and its lasting imprint on humans, the music of Kerani is a still unfolding story and her compositional genius is further revealed with stunning results on Sands Of Time. Released during the height of the global pandemic of 2020, Sands Of Time is a perfect sonic antidote for a war-weary world poised still on the precipice of the New Age that we all crave. In a recent interview Kerani explains that, “I’m confident that we, humans, will have the wisdom to save the world well before it’s too late. All we need is collective consciousness. We need to connect with our inner-self, to become conscious of our lives and of our actions and their consequences.” A veritable sonic safe-haven featuring some of the finest musicians of the early 21st century, Sands Of Time is an epic recording of musical majesty that skillfully merges the time-honored traditions of classical music with the contemporary sound of instrumental New Age music. Fans of Kerani’s noteworthy catalog of previous recordings will find new inspiration and renewed hope for our planet on Sands Of Time.
