Why do I feel so relaxed when I listen to the music of Liquid Mind?

While we make no scientific claims for this music, people often find themselves feeling relaxed or drowsy when they listen to Liquid Mind. This may be because the tempo (speed) of the music is very slow, and our bodies and minds are responsive to sound and vibration. Thus, both mind and molecule try to harmonize with their "audio" surroundings. Calming music tends to make us calm, stimulating music can make us more active.

Why is there a Liquid Mind album devoted to conflict resolution?

Given the high level of stress and dissension in our world, in 2017 I decided to compose an album dedicated to conflict resolution, Liquid Mind XII: Peace. The titles of the eight compositions are the steps in conflict resolution, and it is my belief that peace is possible between any two willing individuals.

Why do some Liquid Mind albums have a roman numeral in the title?

After releasing the first two albums, and it became apparent that the series was popular, we started numbering the albums. This is to let people know how many albums are available, in case they wish to purchase CDs that they don't already own.

Who is Seven Vanderpool?

Seven Vanderpool grew up in Satellite Beach, Florida and arrived in Hollywood in early 1994. While exploring the burgeoning underground art and music scenes in Chinatown and downtown LA, Seven met and began writing and recording with Chuck. During this period, Chuck also received a call from his long time friend, mentor and Michael Jackson producer Bruce Swedien, who loved Seven's music and eventually became involved in the writing and mixing of the music. The focus and direction of the the songs on the Martian Summer project was intended to invoke a sense of retro pop futurism. The overall themes of loneliness, isolation and hope are wrapped like candy in futuristic soundscapes which rely heavily on an 80’s music style synth foundation. This collection was considered an art project and was not deemed to be “commercial enough” by mainstream record labels. Ultimately, these songs sat hidden in limbo for many years, until one day…Seven and Chuck decided to revisit the album and make it available to the public.


We sincerely appreciate having you as a listener.

Though Liquid Mind is available in “full album” format on YouTube, when you pay for streaming, for downloads, or for CDs, you provide needed income for musicians, their record labels and staff, artists and designers, recording studios and engineers, printers, distributors, retailers and all those whose efforts make it possible for you to enjoy music.

We appeal for your help in spreading the word that every single free copy made of a CD or song through burning for others, illegally downloading, etc., not only deprives musicians of their livelihood but also has disastrous consequences on the entire structure that makes it possible for music to be composed, recorded and made available.


Just a friendly reminder: Liquid Mind® is “sedative” music. Do not operate vehicles or dangerous machinery while listening to slow music, as there is some research indicating it may cause slower reaction times, drowsiness, and a heightened state of suggestibility.
