SiriusXM - Audio Highlights - December 2021

Adar and the five levels of happiness.

Codependency and love issues in relationships

Living a life with no limits

A settled mind is the greatest luxury you can have.

How to get unstuck.

Made for Disquiet 0539.  The Assignment: Let your slow breathing guide a piece of music.

It's fascinating that music, like breathing, can help us into transformed states. So I loved the idea of trying to create a piece of music that begins with, and evolves from calmly breathing. I expected to make something very mellow, some low pulsing and droney pads that compliments the breath, but once I started creating, I came up with something a little different. Added a little more energy, inspired by breathing, and observing the backyard. 

I sat in the backyard, half reclined in a chair, with the Zoom recorder on my chest, breathing. As thoughts came into my head, instead of waiting for them go away and going back to breath, I vocalized the thoughts. I noticed how some birds are living in a thorny rose bush, finding safety from predators (like my cats unfortunately) in a dangerous place. I noticed a new fence in the neighbors yard to separate a wild overgrown garden from a manicured lawn. Noticed plants growing tall, spreading seeds in the spring, and I wanted to let them all grow, to stop cutting it all back. With our gardens, and with life we build some fences, but the order may be just an illusion, it's still chaos underneath, and there's a kind of peace knowing that. 

Finished song in Ableton by listening to the breathing, adding things that came to mind, lots of Hybrid Reverb. Then did my first every recording with the circuit monostation through a talkbox pedal, which became the lead  part in this. That too was an exercise in breathing, and kind of messy. Looking forward to playing with that more. 

As someone weekly beats pointed out, this song itself has a bit of illusion of order - there's some chaos bubbling around underneath some calmer vibes.

South Mountain (naviarhaiku485)

111 es un álbum que se arriesga para estar fuera de las pistas de baile y adentrarse mas en sonidos relajantes que adoptan una estética chill out, sus temas pasan por ambient con pinceladas pop, contando una historia para escucharlo de principio a fin.

Composed and produced by Abraham Blond
