Liquid Mind
Biography
Liquid Mind is an alias used by Los Angeles-based composer/producer/instrumentalist Chuck Wild, who was born and raised in Kansas City, studying classical piano and singing in both a cappella groups and choirs. His love for music only intensified as he studied music history at the University of Kansas, where he also sang in the university choir. He next spent four years in the U.S. Navy and in 1979 he relocated to L.A., where he joined up with the new wave band Missing Persons, playing on their early albums.
By the mid-'80s, Wild was once again on his own, focusing on songwriting. Over the years, more than 60 of his original tunes were either recorded for albums or used in television and film -- such renowned artists as the Pointer Sisters, Tommy Page, Timothy Leary, Wink, Jennifer Rush, Thelma Houston, Glenn Medeiros, and Philip Bailey have recorded songs by Wild. He was also hired as staff songwriter for Lorimar Telepictures and Warner/Chappell Music, during which time he co-wrote the music for the Emmy-winning (but short-lived) ABC series Max Headroom.
In the early '90s, Wild's first classical composition for two pianos, "Los Angeles Fantasy," was premiered by Zita Carno and Gloria Ching at the Bing Theater in Los Angeles. He also co-wrote the score for the Academy Award-winning film The Panama Deception. During his long and illustrious musical career, Wild has played synthesizer in the studio for Michael Jackson, Paula Abdul, Philip Bailey, and Frank Zappa, among others. Beginning in the mid-'90s, he regularly issued new age-sounding albums via his Liquid Mind imprint: 1994's Ambience Minimus, 1996's Slow World, 1999's Liquid Mind III: Balance, 2000's Liquid Mind IV: Unity, and 2001's Liquid Mind V: Serenity. ~ Greg Prato, All Music Guide

A selection from Liquid Mind VII was the first New Age piece that appeared when I signed up for that genre on Pandora. I've been hooked ever since. This is ideal music for very early morning listening while watching the stars and planets fade away and the sun rise. Thank you Mr. Wild and Pandora.

For years I have been looking for the perfect New Age music for meditation and just peaceful background music while I work and relax. If it weren't for Pandora Radio I would never have known about such an excellent artist. I am very picky about music and I've listened to a lot of his work now. I've never heard any music he has produced on this station that I've not loved. What a master of music he is. I wish I could meet him and tell him in person how much I appreciate his talent. Thanks.

To listen to his music is like being cradled in the arms of God, such utter tranquility, peace, purity and healing can be found in this music. Plus, Chuck is a great guy who'm I've been lucky to get to know a little bit these last 2 years. Thank you, Chuck, and please, keep it coming! :)

Incredible inner music. Spiritual. It makes time stand still. Maybe if more people listened, we would have less violence in the world we live in. Just a thought..... . . . .

The depths of the harmony and the smooth shifts are indescribabl e . This is such full bodied music. It reaches the soul.

Mr Chuck Wilde, Thank you for sharing your talents with us! I love your music! It helps me stay calm and reminds me to breath. (I tend to sometimes hold my breath when I am stressed.) I also love to go to sleep listening to it because it helps me feel peaceful and tranquil.

When I don't listen speed/death- m e t a l I listen to ambient,to absorb myself with Liquid Mind and feel the tranquility within me.
|
||
Inspiring, creative, music to focus your activities with. I get MUCH more accomplished with this sound
|
||
Truly unique. Imagine my surprise when I discovered my favorite ambient composer was at one time part of my favorite 80's band. My tastes have evolved right along with his sound. Very moving.
|
||
It's so deeply spiritual... Like the person said below, It lifts her up and away into space. I feel the same way....
and when I listen to it, alot of times I feel like I'm in a higher state of mind... its so touching.. I love Liquid Mind! |
||
all of the liquid mind sound reaches deeply in me,touches me like no other music can.
|
||
A refreshing break from the "regurgitate d noise"known as music today.Mind altering in the best way.
|
||
This guy has found his gift. Breathtaking l y beautiful. Per his bio, I'm going to have to find a Max Headroom video. I loved it but don't remember the music.
|
||
Settle into your best easychair, close your eyes, and let the day pass with this fellow....aw e s o m !
|
||
And to think this guy came from Kansas! I really think he hails from Oz where Dorothy and her friends hang out.
|
||
I used to use Liquid Mind III while doing hands on Reiki sessions. This music is what I imagine angels sound like when they sing together.
