Akal means "undying." We chant the Akal for 17 days after someone passes away, usually for 11 minutes, to honor them, to aid in their transition, and to help process our grief. My version of the Akal is dedicated to both my father and to Guru Jagat. I hold so much gratitude in my heart for you both, Thank you. And to those listening, may this Akal bring you solace and help you to move through your grief.

Hey, it’s me again

This is Memory Loop — a live recording from my ongoing Studio Diaries series, and the very first release from my new upcoming project Cycles I.

At the heart of this project is a dialogue between my acoustic piano — Mme Bechstein — and a digital environment I’ve been quietly building over the past months.
With a custom TouchOSC controller on the iPad, the whole setup has become an instrument of its own. It lets me improvise freely, shape sounds in real time, experiment with live-looping — and stay focused, fully in the flow, without distraction.

This is just the beginning.
I’ll keep refining and expanding this setup in the coming weeks, and Cycles I will grow from here — one piece at a time.

Thanks for listening.
Let me know what you think — I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Yours truly,
Sebastian

Memory Loop (Studio Diaries, Day 188, 2025)

This track is created in F Lydian, a mode that wants to resolve to its parent scale of C.  This creates a mild tension in the listener who subconsciously wants the tune to move to its resolution, hence the name.

O C E A N I A - translation from Russian

"The transparent skin is becoming darker and darker everyday on the sun glares..

The pearl strands of her hair are becoming longer and longer..
and are weaving the guiding waves with pearl starry strands of quiet and moonlit nights..

This winter heart is being reflected in the eyes with the sparks of warm depths of Oceania..

and scattered in the stars of memory..
opened by the birds’ wings and the crystals of underwater reefs..

This frozen memory is being melted in autumn and spring winds..

revived in the sunsets and the air foam of black sandy shores.."
