„ Captain of nothing, captain of none“ (Colleen)

-- Ocean Meditations --

A Sea & an Undersea Adventure.

compilation of favourites, lost and forgotten & some new Tracks
from forthcoming Mixes.
planned as a silure albino fishing lesson. never realized.

Between 2016 & 2018 I recorded a number of mixes
called "Tropical Mysteries", including some of so called
„Lo-Fi“ mysteries.
Lo-Fi or Hi-Fi, what ever. Raw Diamonds, pure Pearls.
Many of these Tracks create a special mood in me
& have always accompanied me over the years.

Some of these tracks run over and over and my reaction is always the same: turn up the volume and listen reverently with a smile. So it makes sense for me to pack all of these tracks on one boat and go out to sea again.

The Early Lo-Fi Adventures Of Captain Of None

Live @ Nature Tales Studio 
Nature Tales Ambient Nights # 3 
11.12.2021

The Universe is infinite in every direction. Up to the stars and down to the atoms, layer upon layer of beauty is there to be found and admired. The Earth Viewing Experiment is a project about that path of discovery. Sounds of instruments and everyday objects alike are deconstructed and transformed, to reveal the hidden beauty within. A Train can become a singing voice, a harp can become a timeless texture. These transmutations are interwoven with field recordings from around the world and live synthesizer play into a journey without motion, an invitation to venture deeper into the self.

Tracklist:
The Sleeping Giant
A lovely Harp
Archsky
Cloudsipping
Passing
Microscope
Leaf’s Dream
Planar
The Textured Air

Deep Breakfast 163 - Sub Accent

We're pleased to announce a very special release by Pavaka Group, a new project from William Selman (@wselman)

'Following modern utopian and human potential movements from the 60s through the 80s, one theme that runs through these groups is the inclusion of music and sound-making in their organized practices. As these groups sought to give their members the tools or environment from which to liberate themselves from the constraints and norms of postwar life, music was a common vehicle for that personal and spiritual liberation. Music—like collective, collaborative farm work or group guided meditation practice—was another channel for personal and group expression of a new ideal of living and being.'

Recorded March-May 2016

Written & Produced by William Selman
Mastered by Rafael Anton Irisarri at Black Knoll Studios NY

From the great sky, she directed her mind to the great earth... She gazed trough the centuries-old stone blocks and waters of the world's oceans, the look of her eyes penetrated...Her heart yearned fro a place beyond the reach of mortals, a place where no one returns...

With a fierce determination she gathered the signs of dominion and justice, in her grasp, securing them with precious golden wrists and a jade sceptre...She donned the Crown of Eden upon her head, disguising herself to avoid recognition, and wrapped a turban around it to shield her from the winds...A shimmering lapis lazuli necklace adorned her neck, while two pearls in the form of water droplets rested upon her chest...She draped herself in a robe befitting a mistress and adorned her fingers with glittering gold rings...

As she gazed upon her reflection at the crystalline of the cosmos, She spoke words that resonated with purpose and intent:

- Today, I embark on a journey to a destination unknown...When I cross the threshold of infinity, let the the mournful strings of life and death play on the ruins of ancient civilisations...But know this - you can always find me by opening the doors of your heart...

With these words, she took the first steps towards a path known only to fate, and the mind questioned her intentions:

- "Where are you headed?"
- "I'm going to the East," she replied
“If you are going to the East, why are you on your way to a place of no return? Why let your heart guide you towards what seems like a ruse?"
- "I'm not heading towards my destination, but to find myself on this path...I'm not going to die, but to be reborn"

In the twilight of infinity enveloped her spirit, she ventured through the seven gates that sealed her fate...When she entered the first gate, the Crown of Eden fell from her head... When she entered the second gate, signs of dominion and justice crumbled to dust...When she entered at the third gate, the azure necklace became coal...When she entered the fourth gate, her turban became sand...When the gate entered the fifth, the golden wrists turned out to be snakes...When the sixth gate entered, those drops of the bead became rivers...When the gate entered the seventh, the robe of the lady fell from her shoulders...

She appeared naked before the light of the seven beings - the keepers of the gates...

- What will be your role in great scheme of things? They asked
- Will u you dare to become the arbiter of justice or will you fade into darkness, self-hatred and the emptiness of an unfulfilled life? 

With a thundering sound of seven voices, the guardians asked...

Can you not see how meager and lowly are the forces which drive them astray? Fear, doubt, sloth, temerity...Are any of these a worthy match for that which you strive to be?

They looked at her - it was the look of death...And they killed her by their decision and hung her body on the chains of ignorance...Darkness...

But as her body hung on the chains of ignorance, a bright light radiated from within her...The light grew brighter and brighter until it burst forth and shattered the chains that held her...

With a voice as strong as the thunder that had just spoken, she declared:

- I will not fade into darkness or despair! I will be the arbiter of justice, and I will fight against fear, doubt, sloth, and temerity...I will shine a light in the darkness and be a beacon of hope for those who are lost!

As she spoke, the seven judges bowed their heads in reverence. They had witnessed the transformation of a mortal into a goddess, a mere human into a divine being...And so, the lady of justice and truth, now reborn, descended from the gates and walked into the twilight of infinity...Her journey had come full circle, and she had emerged victorious...

Strange Cookies

Description:
Strange Cookies is a demonstration of the capabilities of the Granie granular synthesiser using the new graphical sequencer of Granie. It is the same audio that appears in the Granie demonstration video:
https://youtu.be/MJiv-VFGuP8

The audio feeding Granie comes from the Soma Lyra 8, which was then feed to the Soma COSMOS, then off to Granie as the final destination. Since Strange Cookies was intended as a demonstration recording for a video, there will be some pauses in the music and perhaps some repetition that would normally not appear in a standalone composition.

The best source of information about this composition is the demonstration video which shows the Granie synthesiser settings evolve live as the piece was performed.

Granie can be purchased at:

Tropical Ambient | New Age | Balearic | Exotica

„Looking back on the previous parts of the tropical mysteries, one quickly notices that the jungle journeys have become longer and longer. Ambient has always been a pleasant companion in my life. The yearning and the desire for deep relaxation has grown in recent years and especially in recent months and therefore probably the urge to immerse deeper and deeper into the rain forest with its secrets, and delay the return.“
