Frederick Lenz - Record Producer

Record Producer

He was the producer for the rock band, Zazen. The band gained success among electronic and new-age music audiences, often being compared to Tangerine Dream by critics. During the life of the band, Zazen produced 21 albums (many of which were re-released/re-produced) in 13 years. The group has also released several music videos. Although some of Zazen's albums were simply intended to be fun, new-age music, a number of their albums, such as Enlightenment, Canyons of Light, Cayman Blue, Samurai, and Samadhi, were specifically for meditation. Correction: All albums produced by Rama were intended specifically for his students to meditate to at the time they were produced. Many of Lenz' teachings were meant to take effect on a non-verbal level and the music was intended to be a way of accessing those teachings.

The band's name is taken from the Zen Buddhism term Zazen, literally, "seated meditation." Zazen is a central concept of Zen Buddhism. It might be defined as "quieting the ego-mind to reveal the Buddha Nature/divine self within," but Zen Buddhists would use the literal translation.

Famous quotes containing the word record:

    Human beings are compelled to live within a lie, but they can be compelled to do so only because they are in fact capable of living in this way. Therefore not only does the system alienate humanity, but at the same time alienated humanity supports this system as its own involuntary masterplan, as a degenerate image of its own degeneration, as a record of people’s own failure as individuals.
    Václav Havel (b. 1936)
