I started and abandoned this track consistently during 2024, never finished it, never been sure about it but there's something I do like. The modulations are fun and clever, I think,  smooth and yet surprising and effective. I recorded several guitar takes over the year (each time I had a guitar recording session I gave this a fresh tray). I wanted this to be a "guitar" showcase, but eventually made it a full keyboards+bass+guitar+drums track.
The final guitar is an edit from 3 takes I did on a 6 month period, the one with volume pedal is nice.
So the title and the melodic motif (nicked from "Summer of '42") have been on my "to do" list for a couple of years, the actual performance comes  from 2024.
I took that photo in Costa Rica on February 2020.

Kagami Shikō was a Japanese poet, considered one of the ten outstanding disciples (Shōmon jittetsu 蕉門十哲) of Matsuo Bashō. He was in turn the master of the famous poetess Fukuda Chiyo-ni.

Originally from the present-day Gifu Prefecture, Kagami Shikō became a monk at Daichi-ji Temple, and in 1690 he became a pupil of Bashō, later accompanying him on some of his journeys and recording his last will in 1694.

After Basho's death, he kept travelling around Japan, writing several essays on haiku and collections of writings until his death in 1731.

Disquiet Junto Project 0680: Reverse Resolution
The Assignment: Finish something (musical) you started last year.

I remember when I started this one year ago I was sitting in a train and in love with Abletons "Operator" FM synth and a mutating sequence on loop. There was no bass at all, because I had bad simple earphones and in the train I was only able to hear the high bells.

Honestly, everytime I listened to it, I thought "This is enough, you don't need more, I like it how it is.", but at the same time I felt guilty, because it was very simple. That's why I never finished it.

To finish the track, I quickly added a bassdrumish sound with Puremagnetik Foomph and added some droney pads. Now I feel guilty again, really like a cheater, because it is still very simple, but now it's finished and I like it.

The original material is a bit of mystery to me - Cecelia5, FL Studio, PaulXStretch, Reason, Thor, Fracture. To this I added Collision and Massive X & Arturia Fragments. I created this track after organizing the raw material for a future album. This was the second track I completed. I completed the first track yesterday for this week’s Disquiet Junto. 

This original version of "Friction And Fluoride" was submitted as part of Naviar Haiku 575, Even Though Afar.

Fantasy for Machines and Strings

Distant Void

🎧 Epica – A Cinematic Odyssey by Keith Richie

"Music is a potent mood regulator. Simply by listening, our frame of mind changes. It can open a portal to another dimension where all sense of normality vanishes. "

Epica is a sweeping, cinematic journey through sound — a richly layered, emotionally expansive album that fuses ambient electronica, Berlin-school sequencing, and science fiction themes into a single immersive experience.

Crafted by Texas-based composer Keith Richie, Epica builds upon the legacy of his prior work (Ambient Highways, Skylines, For the Willow Wept...) and draws clear inspiration from ambient and electronic greats such as Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Carbon Based Lifeforms, and John Carpenter. But what sets Epica apart is its deeply narrative structure — an album that plays like the score to an epic sci-fi or fantasy film that exists only in the listener’s imagination.

Each track serves as a chapter in a larger story: from the ethereal swell of “Remote Isolation” and the meditative pulse of “Rebirth,” to the childlike wonder of “Tiny Creatures” and the twilight tension of “Dusk.” The album peaks with the soaring title track “Epica,” where layered synths, cinematic drums, and Mimi Page’s haunting vocals conjure visions of interstellar heroism. The closing track, “There Are Other Worlds Than These,” named after Richie’s own publishing label and referencing Stephen King’s The Dark Tower, delivers a powerful finale — triumphant, textured, and emotionally resonant.

Like a great novel, Epica is filled with both wonder and tension, beauty and darkness. It’s music built not just for listening, but for feeling — perfect for dreaming, writing, reading, or escaping into other worlds. It invites replay after replay, each listen revealing deeper textures and hidden details.

Fans of sci-fi film scores, ambient storytelling, and imaginative soundscapes will find much to explore here. Epica is not just music — it’s a sonic universe waiting to unfold.

🌟 What Others Are Saying About Epica
A cinematic and emotionally expansive experience, Epica continues to captivate ambient and electronic music enthusiasts. Here’s what the critics have to say:

Journeyscapes Radio – "A cinematic-ambient opus that’s richly layered and deeply immersive."
👉 Read the review: www.journeyscapesradio.com/2022/07/album-review-epica-by-keith-richie.html

New Age Music Guide (Album Feature) – "Epica presents a powerful blend of ambient textures and soundtrack-like storytelling."

New Age Music Guide (Single Feature) – "The title track captures the sweeping vision of the full album beautifully."
👉 Read the article: newagemusic.guide/newagemusic/keith-richie-epica-single/

“There Are Other Worlds Than These” is an original ambient composition by Keith Richie that explores the concept of alternate realities and unseen paths—emotional and cinematic in tone, with layered textures that pull listeners across invisible thresholds.

The title pays subtle homage to a well-known phrase from Stephen King’s The Dark Tower series, but the piece itself exists as a personal meditation on change, choice, and the universes we build within ourselves.

🔊 A journey beyond the veil, through soundscapes shaped by wonder, loss, and imagination.
