It has been believed that the desert is a spiritual, mystical place since time forgotten. There is a stillness, a peacefulness that surrounds the deceptively simple sand and sun, and a certain clarity can be found there for those who seek an inner peace. Legends have been born of those who risked all they had to wander into it's vastness in search of some elusive, inner oasis.
In his life's travels through the American landscape, Arnold Mitchem has found himself taken from Northern California to North Carolina and everywhere in between, finally winding up in Los Angeles, a touring musician living a hard life that took it's toll on his psyche and his dreams.
Emotionally exhausted and physically drained, a last-ditch attempt to regain his sanity brought him to the desert and to a new way of life. Replenished by nature's tranquility, Arnold became an environmental artist, and he celebrates his spiritual rebirth in his CD, "Desert Dreams", a soothing, heartfelt musical tribute to the pureness that the desert has provided him.
In these modern times, peace is a rare commodity. Arnold has dedicated this CD to those people who have made it their work to study and preserve the natural treasures of the American Southwest. When you come to the desert, bring your sense of awe and wonder. And when you leave, be sure to take 'Desert Dreams' with you as your own private oasis -- wherever you go.

Music without words means leaving behind the mind. And leaving behind the mind is meditation.
Meditation returns you to the source. And the source of all is sound. — Kabir
