about

‘Bodhiheart improvises one of the best albums of year’s end.’
-Reviews New Age (Spain)

We, Wells Hanley and Noah Hoffeld, met several years ago while playing for various ensembles in NYC. We’d known each other for a couple of years till one day, while waiting for an artist to show up to rehearsal, we began to improvise spontaneously. After just a few minutes, we knew we had a special musical relationship, something which required further exploration. We had always enjoyed playing together, but that moment of one-to-one connection really opened a new door for us. That felt like just a teaser of what we could do and enjoy together.

Another thing we discovered that day while chatting is that we are both meditators, involved in spiritual life. It was no wonder we had clicked on so many levels.

We continued to play together in groups until one day an idea arose. What if we entered into a project of our own which would bridge our relationship with spirit and our love for improvising together? Something which would tap into both our spiritual and our musical lives and be an expression of that fusion? Wouldn’t that be something that could be of benefit to others as well?

And so Love Rules was born.

Mark Egan on bass and Arjun Bruggeman on tablas seemed like the perfect addition to the project. Noah’s played with them in the Krishna Das band where they’ve bonded as friends and musicians. They’re both incredible people and players, and we knew they’d be a great fit for the album. Most of the album was improvised, with some planned harmonic changes here and there.

We hope you enjoy Love Rules as much as we did making it! We’ve begun work on a follow-up album and appreciate your support. Your purchases will help that dream come alive….
