Novus Magnificat ~ This colorful electronic excursion sparkles on disc with a clean and vibrant sound. There is a spatial, stream of consciousness feeling to this music that takes you out of the realm of everyday experience. For Demby's purposes, the synthesized sounds add to the other-worldly quality of this recording. As a modern sacred work, Novus derives its expressive power from the creative use of color, texture, atmosphere, and gradually intensifying repetitions. Novus Magnificat sets the standard for the artistic use of electronics, space, and classical elements in contemporary music.

Listener Response:
"....You must know how words can utterly fail you when something unspeakably beautiful touches your senses: Novus was an utterly mind-boggling work that left me breathless." D. Vencill
"..Dear Hearts of Space, Constance Demby is the Queen, and NOVUS MAGNIFICAT is the jewel in the crown of the symphonic synthesizer space genre." P. Becker
"...It's haunting, scary, beautiful, terrifying, awesome, intimate, spectacular; the way it makes me feel, the things I think about, the times I remember, the things I look forward to. Is this music real? It is the most incredible piece of music I have ever heard." S. Lazur
"....Sometimes I think this music is magic. I played NOVUS MAGNIFICAT a few weeks ago on WUWF , and got a tremendous response. One gruff sounding gentleman called to tell me that even though he thought of himself as "a macho sort of guy," Contance Demby's music brought tears to his eyes." L. Kohanov
"....The sheer scale, richness and depth of the piece is truly MAGNIFICENT. The first side brings to mind Brahms at the level of the divine, and the second, Bach-Handel-Mozart and the rest of the classicists in heaven. The piece is powerful, heartfelt, touching and tough. I admire Constance for her willingess to depart from the emotional safety of the paradisical into the almost threateningly awesome. Her genius is to hold to the compassion and inspiration through those places so that the portrayal of divine power is always imbued with a quality of redemption and purification. That is a feat which requires direct experience of the truth of the matter. A truth which very few compoasers have known or have the skill to portray. " D. Hallock
"......I tried consciously to connect with my Higher Self during the first listening of NOVUS, and it worked! It was the most touching, overwhelming, meditational experience I have ever had...! " Lisa
"....Truly the Magnificat is a power beyond words, and music beyond known realms of music. I have never experienced anything quite like it." M. Larits
"....."Beautiful music, Beau-oootiful music" my friend murmured listening to your work, as he lay in a hospital bed, blinded by the AIDS that soon thereafter claimed his body. He listened to it again and again that afternoon, and I know it was a profoundly comforting experience for him. I've never before owned any recorded music that so entered the fabric of my life. " J. Parker
."..You have brought us to new heights together. We have attained a new vision of the world and a more intense awareness of what is really true and important in this world. Thanks to your exceptional, unique music, we will keep sending positive waves through space for a better world. " D. and R. Tardif

Signals From Space ~ In 1987, a month after the Harmonic Convergence, there was an unusual aspect present in the skies, a brief window in time and space that opened a door for contact to occur. At that time, unusual sounds began spontaneously transmitting through the home recording studio.
The sounds were a series of notes in an unusual rythym, repeated in a cyclical pattern, with high beeps irregularly placed inside the pattern. For the next several months, various signals were received and recorded. With the help of guidance, it was discovered that the signals had been sent from the Pleiades, to a nearby craft here on earth, and then from the craft directly into the recording studio. Constance was told she was a contactee, and that they wanted to contact her through sound. When the question was asked, “How did they get into the equipment like that?” The response was, "Simple... they just move an atom over."
Eventually, the signals were sent to SETI (Search for ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence) for analysis. They responded to say that the signals did not contain the typical waveform they look for that indicates that a signal has come from outer space. But, they added, this did not mean that the signals weren’t extra-terrestrial in origin. This analysis confirmed the guidance that the sounds, though originally from outer space; were transmitted from a nearby craft in the earths atmosphere.

Aeterna ~ is inspired by the late-19th century romantics Rachmaninof and Tchaikovsky. But with Demby at the electronic podium, the music is propelled beyond earthly confines. It is as if she combines the rich melodicism of the Russian masters with the sublime aspirations of Bach, then blows them both out of the water. Through much of Aeterna the grand piano sings the dominant voice.
Reviews:
"Sure to become a classic, here is the music of the 21st century...Beautiful beyond words, this incredible release from Constance Demby easily receives my highest recommendations." - Omega Directory
".... deep, profound, passionate, spiritual... Demby sculpts a living soundscape that heals the soul." - Brent Ferre, Desert Sounds Review
"This fantastic, transformative recording picks up where Constance Demby's widely acknolwedged masterpiece - Novus Magnificat - left off. Trust me you will be venturing deeper and deeper into this album for a long time to come. AETERNA is destined for many top-ten record-of-the-year lists. - PJ Birosik, NA Retailer
"...the greatest release since Sgt. Pepper's ! (maybe I exaggerate a bit, but it is good) - Paul Rapp, KUOP
"Contance Demby literally helped shape New Age music with Novus Magnificat. ....this is some of the most heart opening, grandly expansive music I have heard in a long time. AETERNA is exquisite from beginning to end. All in all, a remarkable tour de force." - Steve Ryal, NA Retailer
"I was carried away and churned up by the themes, then delivered to a place of inner reckoning. With the increasing intensity and moody depth in the symphonic sections, my core was fully exposed and my ribs ached with long-buried sobs. Demby has fulfilled her mission and has forged a sturdy path with this album. The only question: Is the world ready to take the journey?" - Carol Wright, NAPRA Review
"AETERNA is to experience the deepest sadness, the most profound joy, and the space inbetween..." - KSOR , Ashland , OR
"An album of epic proportions....a full spectrum journey....larger-than-life....stands aside from its 'new age' counterparts with their, generally speaking, polite atmospherics." -Ambience
"Constance Demby is one of those composers whose music can be taken complete and unedited for use in planetarium shows, or as a soundtrack to a movie about the majesty of the universe... AETERNA will remind some people of Vangelis at his best, -- at the same time, expect a lot more than Vangelis offers in a single album. This is dreaming music, space music and music that celebrates life, all at once".
- Microsoft Network -"Speaking Tree"
Listener Response:
"As for AEterna's gift , so low in physical price, worth at least ten million more, I can only say that 15 years ago I lost an entire position of my Assemblage Point, and yesterday, I got it back. Where everything I loved and cherished had been scorched, boiled and fried to a crisp, and was in fact lost and unavailable, AEterna gave it back, squared and doubled. I feel I will never brag again, nor will I ever have The Sadness again. " Danny
"...I personally had such a profound emotional and spiritual experience that I wasn't able to even talk about it for over a week. This music literally penetrates the body and processes the emotions and the emotional barriers that keep people from remembering who they are and why they're here. This is the thing about your music that is so powerful -- it tends to penetrate below the conscious mind and activates a remembrance or a recall of something very familiar, very deep, that is actually what I think is the core of a human beings awareness or consciousness. I just can't listen to it enough. " Valnn Dayne Spears, Regenesis Institute
"..this is music from Home...I can taste the love in every phrase...it reminds me why I am here, (obviously you have never forgotten.) I am reawakened, I am re-quickened, I am again in absolute harmony with the all of the Infinite." GC Porter
"..profound, uplifting, exquisite music.... AEterna, is an integral part of my cellular breath training, and without it I would not be seeing the amazing and transformative and healing results I do. The ways in which your music touches the soul, the empowerment of emotions, is truly powerful. So many are being blessed through your music. " B.Rudulf
"....Constance Demby's music has spoiled me for just about all other new age music. Her music pierces straight to my soul and at the same time lifts me to the highest, deepest heavens. No other music I've heard can so consistently awaken in me the memories and knowledge of the experience of being in eternity. AETERNA is for me the most beautiful and exquisite music I have ever heard. " Diane Peterson

Sacred Spacemusic ~ is used by many therapists and healers as a gateway to the sacred space within. "The Longing", side one, is an extended chamber concerto combining dazzling virtuosity on the hammered dulcimer, with spacious piano and heartstopping beautiful viola melodies. The music explores in depth the elusive feelings of yearning and longing. The companion piece, "Radiance", begins again with the hammered dulcimer and then gradually evolves into a vast chorale for wordless voices and synthesizer, a continuous ascent that just keeps moving up.
Reviews
"A major contribution to the field of new age music... Sacred Space Music should be added to everyone's collection, for it is an almost overwhelming and joyously affirming celebration of the mystical life." - Magical Blend
"An enduring New Age jewel -- sparkling hammer dulcimer, heart-tugging viola melodies, tasteful acoustic piano, shimmering synth." - Body, Mind, Spirit
"...This particualar tape has a special quality allowing me to recommend it very highly. I have used it extensively in group healing sessions, and also in the King's Chamber at the Great Pyramid. " Brugh Joy, M.D.
Listener Response:
"...Maybe you ought to put warnings on these products. I listened to Sacred Space for three hours in my car, and after three hours, I didn't care whether I got home or not, and could have riden right out into time on the white light. My experience of Constance Demby's music is pure joy, ecstatic energy. " G. Cheney
."..Sacred Space is very effective at assisting people to get in tune with their own self esteem and true soul purpose. Three particular clients that have used this tape have soared into realms of their self expression that had heretofore been dreams, and impossible ones at that." P. Cramer, Massage Therapist
