Like a pop take on Cirque du Soleil music: Combining new agey emotional synths, dramatic violin, and calm electronic drum beats for something between world fusion music and the kind of easy listening background they'd use in a Discovery Channel special. Rich in organic percussion too, and the violin parts are expertly played.

Could make for a tuneful meditation especially during non-experimental late-night shows. But be aware: the music, while not 100% happy, is replete with new-age "inner peace" and greeting-card pleasantness; don't expect deep challenges. Mostly instrumental; FCC clean.

1- New agey synth, soaring violin, whispered vocals.
2- Heavy on the strings. Mid/fast but deeply sentimental
3- With echoey Edgar Allen Poe recitation (cheesy). Bubbly, airy and sweet
4- Ultra sweet violin. Grand and majestic.
5- Airy soaring synths, slow and operatic.
6- Deep, cavernous. Midtempo
7- Lonely violin, a desolate landscape with a good mid/fast beat. Simple and mellowly rocking.
8- Sweet nighttime lullabye accompanied by jet-pilot chatter (Schaad's husband is a pilot.) Heavy sentimentality.
9- Dramatic, airy, a little sad but not slow.
10- Pretty cheesy. Upbeat, a bit of a rock feel.
11- Late-night groove with electric violin doing some decent guitar-hero soloing
