Nils Frahm - Says

Sagan explains comets and asteroid impacts, citing the Tunguska event and an impact on the Moon described by monks in Canterbury in 1178. Then the episode is devoted to Venus, from the first ideas of Immanuel Velikovsky to the information of the Venera mission and the knowledge of the greenhouse effect.

Sagan erläutert Kometen und Asteroiden Einschläge und führt dazu das Tunguska-Ereignis und einen von Mönchen in Canterbury 1178 beschriebenen, Einschlag auf dem Mond an. Dann widmet sich die Episode der Venus, von den ersten Ideen Immanuel Velikovskys zu den Informationen der Venera-Mission und die Erkenntnisse über den Treibhauseffekt.

Cosmos Part IV - Heaven and Hell

Based around an acoustic riff, the song is about how a wave can be the start, or the end of something, and maybe a chance to start again. Produced by Shael Wrinch at Stone Hill studios on Bowen Island, B.C. Chris Herbsen on vocals, Shael doing harmonies and more of that great slide guitar. 
Lyrics:
She waved to say hello, she waves to say goodbye
She left a scent of faint perfume, and clouds in a sunny sky.
Coffee stains and magazines, and a space where she used to lie.
We're livin' here on shifting sands and we're left to wonder why.

I could have stared for hours and hours
at footprints in the sand
It took a wave beyond my powers
to help me understand 
that life come in waves.

Children's laughter fills the room. I hear her laugh and sing.
Faces stored in a picture frame can't beat the real thing.
What's been lost and what's been found, and what we hope to gain
is all that matters in the end, not teardrops in the rain.

I could have stared...

Life Comes in Waves

A rainy-day-melancholy sort of piano piece.

Waiting at my Window

Bosphore Bay

I've been hesitant to share this publicly since I recorded it, because I know it's not for everyone. It is truly a sonic experiment that traverses a lot of vibrational terrain ... So I already know not everybody will vibe. 😅 Regardless, I had always told myself that it was only going to be for my ears & personal process, but it felt like the right time to make it public as we are currently in the depths of a Gemini New Moon portal. 🌑  A time for self-advocacy & path-forging. So, here we go. 

I originally recorded this as a means to process the death of my Father, and the near simultaneous birth of my Son, 2 months ago. The mythic-ness of the timing (or lack thereof) between these incredible life-events is something I could have never imagined would be possible, yet they both happened... and I was left in their wake to make sense of it all. There I sat in deep grief, accompanied by an almost overwhelming sense of joy.

In the sparse moments of free-time I was given after Rael was born, I found my fingers gravitating ... almost yearning towards specific sounds, tracks, and samples that truly seemed to resonate with what I was feeling. Lots of Jazz elements that might Father might've enjoyed in his younger years. Sounds ranging from the bold, experimental riffs of Sun Ra & his Arkestra all the way to the intricate, sometimes explosive compositions of King Crimson. 

There are obscurely minimal, yet melodic structures throughout, though they always find their resolution. I also utilized a good bit of manual pitch manipulation as a means to affect the overall emotional theme, which definitely causes certain tracks to become something else entirely. There are meditative, ambient spaces littered with symphonic over-tones that, at times, become encumbered by chaos & dissonance. The dissonance, I believe to be useful in that the energy of chaos is always followed by a release & surrender into stillness. So, somehow, if you are willing to ride it out, you can find yourself floating in a bed of feathers on the other-side of what might seem an unbearable experience. It's all purposeful.
Another piece to this set's curation is that, while it was coming together, I had envisioned a very intentional space within which it would be listened. A room full of candles ... or perhaps a crackling fire under a Full or New Moon, such as this one. A bowl of copal burning off to the side. A ceremonial circle of individuals gathered with the intention of healing, mending, and perhaps spelunking the depths of their psyche, aided by their medicine of choice. This set, of course, as the backdrop for the experience. 

Truly, it gets weird, and there is real opportunity to evoke the ancient, embodied-self. As the curator of this experience, I find within it ample opportunities for exploration of the mind, a disillusionment of self, and perhaps a re-imagining of one's own internal landscape. A re-visioning of what is possible to perceive as a human-being processing the shape of life. Maybe you'll find something different. Either way, I hope you enjoy the ride, and perhaps receive something of value from the journey. 

If you've taken the time to read this much, I assume you are a supporter of what I do ... and for that I am eternally, profoundly grateful. 🙏🏾

Eduardo McGregor -Tal Vez Soñar [TOR032]
Release Date - 05.27.2022
Stream & Buy - https://xyzlabel.lnk.to/TalVezSonar

As the spring soars into supreme summer, we’re thrilled to welcome Eduardo McGregor back to TOR for his second EP on the imprint. The Mexican maestro has graced the likes of All Day I Dream, Sudbeat, TRYBESof, Tale & Tone and Kindisch, showcasing a knack for global grooves, percussive rhythms, and rich melodies. He’s a unique talent within dance music - a multi instrumentalist, composer, and educator. McGregor’s true musicianship brings distinct quality to his productions, as we witnessed via his ‘I Fall EP’ which debuted on TOR last year. Continuing explorations into original organic territories, McGregor floats even higher with the Tal Vez Soñar.

The A-side opens with rotating rhythms and deep ambiance, shifting effortlessly through melodic moods. The groove is ever-present through the opening frames, ensuring listeners are entrenched in the foundation of dance before Tal Vez Soñar’s signature vocal performance arrives. Elongated chords & strings enchant the senses throughout this enigmatic and effervescent effort from Eduardo.

Nothing In The Dark harnesses psychedelic tones and swirling soundscapes, playing with the mind while providing crisp kicks to please the senses. Haunting & rich synthetics ebb & flow, as a break in groove offer devious dancefloor moments. An ominously opulent production from Eduardo, and one sure to find the bag of global selectors. 

Closing out the EP is a sensational ambient mix of Tal Vez Soñar, a tune built for the calm & cozy moments in the scintillating summer to come.

Eduardo McGregor - Nothing In The Dark

I was working in an afraid sound and that reminds me the title of the Marillion album. And thinking about a bird who has afraid of sunlighy I remember this picture I took of a Little eagle owl in its nest with the morning sun.

AFRAID OF SUNLIGHT

Soundscape of the Soul is a dark mix experiment. Mainly focused on soundscapes, noisescapes and various world sounds I have gathered on my journeys.

The Mission of this project was to show that darker tones, Dorian scales and shamanic sounds can truly be rejuvenating and healing in itself. Sort of my "Mantra of Muse" This album will depict the journey the soul may make in many variables and modalities.

I often find, letting a mix take you by surprise, is a grand way to have your subconscious' questions answered. 

This was planned to be my first release with physical merch as well, having a CD print as I have some prototypes. But due to costs and not even sure anyone would want one, decided to wait for the CD presses. But it will be on my bandcamp when that does occur.

Enjoy the journey!
