" What is necessary, after
all, is only this: solitude, vast inner solitude.
To walk
inside yourself and meet no one for hours-that is what you must be able to obtain" - Rainer Maria Rilke
Reaching Calm is the creation of Instrumentalist/Composer Scott M. Long. Although Scott has
been recording and performing music for over 20 years, the original concept of Reaching Calm began a decade ago
with the release of his first instrumental collection entitled "Leaving The Familiar". Before being released commercially,
many of his instrumental compositions could be heard by audiences attending one of his live performances in and around
the New Orleans area. In 2001 the first series of Reaching Calm was released as an EP. Within weeks of its release, singles
from the collection were being added to playlist around the world. In early 2003 a full length version
of Reaching Calm was released and peaked at Number # 3 on the World New Age Reporter Charts. Reaching Calm topped not only
the NAR Charts, but hundred of playlist aound the country and the world. In 2004 Scott was nominated Best New Artist by the
NAR. Reaching Calm Music can be heard on radio stations around the world and on acclaimed programs such as Echoes, Hearts
of Space and Sirius/XM .

"Surely all art is the result of one's having been in danger, of having gone through an experience
all
the way to the end, where no one can go any further." -Rainer
Maria Rilke
Reaching Calm music is designed to bring you the listener, to
a place of quiet, rest, peace and tranquility. To achieve this I have had to find that place within myself. Over
the past few years I have worked tirelessly on balancing internal and external circumstances, professionally and personally
to assure that the music I release is true to myself and to you. I am continuously grateful to those of you that have been
so patient and kind. Everyone’s purpose in life is as different and
unique as the individual. I have always felt the need to create music and do so in a way that is for the better good of the
listener. If I can bring calm and serenity to those who listen, then I have been of service to my purpose.
