<a href="http://fmonk.quasigentsia.com/archives/92">The Gratzi</a> is a hard poem to read. It’s taken me years, but I finally gave up on ever getting it and released this reading disguised.

The Gratzi - Franklyn Monk

An ambient soundtrack with looping vocals which, perhaps, demonstrates what it’s like to be swept into rumination. At 16m40s it’s a good length for a short meditative sit.

As If That Would Make Me Feel Better - Franklyn Monk

A recording of an early spring storm.

What I like most about this one is the white noise at the end is so loud and so oppressive that when it finally slams to an end I’m catapulted into heady relief. I’m left weightless, numb, and free for the first time.

Monk's Trifecta, Trifecta!

Bedraggled

Cosmic Overload: Noise from the Abyss

Emmanuel was once presented a powerful gift.
The gift’s power lay in pain, in nightmare.
It was a heavy burden,
This human condition,
Emmanuel begrudgingly accepted.

A meditative journey through the balance of chaos and control. This ambient dronescape unfurls as a seamless, flowing tapestry of restrained randomness, where whispers of unpredictability surface and recede within soothing, immersive sound currents. The piece masterfully intertwines the freeform nature of randomness with the grounding pull of structure, creating a soundscape that feels both liberated and intentional.

Discontinuity

The Long March

For Anna (previously titled Murder She Called It) is an immersive sound sculpture, born from a deeply personal journey through therapy. Inspired by a breakthrough session with my therapist, Anna, this piece explores what it means to confront oneself in the void, where guilt and forgiveness battle in silence.

This soundscape captures the raw tension of self-reconciliation. Ethereal vocals, haunting drones, and fragmented textures echo the themes of violence, vulnerability, and the cold, honest work of inner survival. As each layer unfolds, it draws the listener closer to that critical moment of confrontation—the meeting with the self, in all its complexity.

Dedicated to Anna, who guided me to face these emotions head-on, For Anna is an exploration of what it means to survive one’s inner turmoil and begin the process of self-forgiveness.

Thank you for listening, and I invite you to reflect on your own journey within.
