New age / Reiki / Healing musician Jonathan Fairchild / Aeoliah was born in Germany in 1950. Aged 10, he moved with his family to Chicago where he played the violin without any real interest or success while in school. Instead he soon discovered his passion for art. After a few years in a Chicago college he decided big city life wasn't for him, why he transferred to the University of New Mexico where he majored in fine art, and came to view his work as a source of therapy and expression. According to legend, after a tough breakup with his then girlfriend in 1980, he moved to Hawaii with their newborn child, in search of something to soothe his soul. There, he barely made a living for themselves selling airbrushed tshirts. One of his paintings, Music of the Spheres, depicted a harp with surrounding spheres, and it made him wonder if he could achieve a similar effect with sound. Inspired by this and an astrology reading from years before predicting a career in music, He boldly decided to record an album with little musical training. Through some friends, he recruited flautist [a301630], vocalist Sarah Light and engineer Don Robertson to help him record his debut album [m119057] on cassette in 1981. All the songs were free improvisation, with Aeoliah playing the synthesizer and a harp on loan from friends Caren and Athena. Four years later, his fourth album, [m119056], became a gold-selling album, and the rest is his story.
