SUMTHING ELSE MUSIC WORKS ANNOUNCES DEEPAK CHOPRA'S LEELA SOUNDTRACK


Ethereal Soundtrack Experience for Mind, Body and Spirit Released on CD and Digital Download November 15

New York - November 7th, 2011 - Sumthing Else Music Works, Inc. proudly presents Deepak Chopra's Leela™ Soundtrack featuring the original music soundtrack from Deepak Chopra's Leela, an innovative interactive experience that combines ancient relaxation and meditation techniques with home entertainment technology. Developed by Curious Pictures and published by THQ, Deepak Chopra's Leela will debut in November on Kinect™ for Xbox 360® and on Nintendo Wii™. The ambient soundtrack album is scheduled for release as a 2-CD set on November 15th, 2011 to retail outlets through Sumthing Else Music Works www.sumthing.com, and for digital download at www.sumthingdigital.com, Amazon MP3, iTunes® and other digital music sites.

Deepak Chopra, prolific author and pioneer in the field of mind-body medicine, invites you to a one-of-a-kind experience to rebalance and revitalize through chakra-based meditations, and to cultivate a more creative, harmonious life through play. Breaking the boundaries of what has ever been created for video game systems, Leela is not a game. Leela invokes whole-body movement and breathing techniques to relax you and bring focus, energy and balance to your life. Executive Producer Lewis Kofsky from Curious Pictures states that, "The sound of Leela draws from traditional string instruments and drums to modern electronica and dubstep. Musicians were selected who could be true to ancient traditions while creating authentic timeless soundscapes." The soundtrack combines the rich and restorative sounds and musical movements from this progressive concept.
