| "What a beautiful surprise your music was! The emotions you are presenting in your songs were almost touchable, all around me and inside me! What a beautiful feeling to lose yourself in such serene music!" - T.V. |
| "His music is very visual and lends itself to conjuring up images and scenerios. It speak of a very internal, personal soundscape with barely an influence from any other contemporary composer." - Award-Winner Music Critic Hugh Fraser, The Hamilton Spectator |
| ”Your music is very inspirational and I found myself visualizing different scenarios depending upon the emotion I felt from the piece...” - S.K. |
| “I am self-employed in a very high stressed occupation. Quite few times when I would be visiting Brenda's office she would have your CD on and I asker her about it. I felt an immediate calm come over me and the music seemed to take me back to another place and time. During the course of a stressful day I put your Eden CD on and it truly has a therapeutic and calming effect on me. The world seems like a peaceful place and troubles seem far, far away.” H.K. |
| "The tonal tranquility and spirituality of this collection of compositions has proven to be an invaluable asset to my Holistic offerings available to the public. There is an inherent therapeutic ambiance to the music. I have recommended this CD to Doctors, Massage Therapists, Reiki Instructors and individuals who require mind/body support. I receive consistent affirmation from those who listen and discover profound emotional connections to the music. This unique listening experience possesses a superior quality that transcends the definition of musical therapy." - N.W. |
| ”Just a short note to let you know how deeply your music touched me. It took me on a journey through the elements of life, love, loss and birth that contribute to who I am today.” - B.L. |
”I listened to your CD and I LOVE it. I found I went to a very introspective place. I didn't know what would come up. I just let my body respond with where I was at. With each piece and each re-hearing, my response was somewhat different, though there was an underlying introspective theme throughout it.
”One thing that struck me is your music feels very healing to me. I felt like my soul was being asked to tell its story. It's a story I don't have words for. I can only feel it. And what comes may be very different from what's in my head. Sometimes joy and ecstasy, other times pain and hurt. It's below everyday emotion, it's a place inside that has something deeper to say. Paradoxically I find joy through this when I actually feel. It's a challenge, too, to feel, to allow it, to risk it.
”Your music was really resonating with me. I felt like I had this invitation to go deep inside and it was safe to access whatever might be there. I had a sense that if I kept working with your music, I could go more inside and feel more of what's there in some of the closed places. It's so easy to go through life and ignore those places. Thank you for sharing your music with me.” - C.L. |
| "Robert Bruce's music colours a very personal landscape in the listener. The surprise comes when the listener is confronted with the candid nature of the works resonating on their emotions. His music gives you a safe forum to discuss, challenges you to face, and smoothes the frayed edges of your personal issues." S.H. |
| “I played your CD this evening, and was overwhelmed with your artistry and the sound of your music - it was so wonderful! It's really nice to be transported by such creativity. Your music is very calming; and I felt like it was talking to me, a listener - the repeating notes sound like they're asking for the listener's attention and focus. I appreciate this CD so much." – A.D. |
"Your CD arrived today so your music was my companion while having supper. The music is the kind that requires stillness to allow for reflection. It's not the kind to be played while doing other things.
"It is capable of pulling the emotions, gently, tenderly, carefully, upwards to smooth out the frayed edges. At certain times and with some people it could even dig deep and draw up sadness and tears to allow the sadness to be displayed for a few moments to begin the healing. One has to have been at or near the bottom to understand the seductive power this kind of music has to heal - the composer to give, the musician to convey, and the listener to receive and comprehend. The circle completes itself when the composer sees the positive effects of his music on the listener. The listener thus becomes the giver." - B.L. |
