In Search of the Turtle's Navel is the 1976 debut album by guitarist Will Ackerman. Some consider the album to be the start of new-age music. The album took Ackerman from his work as a carpenter and head of Windham Hill Builders to becoming a professional musician and executive of Windham Hill Records.
