Ori Part 2

J'ai contemplé les nuages et j'ai entendu leur paroles et leur musiques (Sound of the Clouds),
cela m'a questionné sur ma vie (My Life),
et j'ai décidé d'entreprendre un voyage (The Journey),
cela m'a amené, par monts et par vaux, à découvrir un endroit singulier (Magic Place),
dans ce lieu je vécu une expérience particulière (Eclosion),
elle m'amena à la rencontre de gens de tout horizons, mais d'un même cœur (La Tribu de la Tierra),
ils me firent découvrir et comprendre cette flamme si universelle que je ne saisissais pourtant pas (Love),
depuis, je sème autant que je le peux, ces petites graines qui m'ont été offertes (Sunflower),
et je m'en vais à nouveau à travers les dunes (Dune),
égrainer les parties de moi que ce voyages a façonné...
…une fois encore à l'écoute des nuages....

Emotion

As we raise the liquid feminine light of Shakti through our crown chakras, we open up to the realm of golden light, the vast silent infinite fields of pure consciousness, also known as “the gold”, Shiva, God or the Divine Masculine. Hanging out in “the gold” is pure bliss.

Staying connected to our sensual liquid feminine bodies, feeling our hearts longing to merge with the great HE, we invite the Divine Masculine to anchor down through our bodies into form. We offer our bodies as a bridge to anchor heaven on earth. We breathe the light of the Divine Masculine down through the back of our chakras, beginning with our receptive back heart chakra.

When we dance the crown chakra we invite the sacred union the divine fusion of God and Goddess in every chakra, this is ecstatic alchemy this is the dance of bliss.

Sleepless

[I accidentally removed the track. Sorry about that - those who have already listened can just move on.]
Unfortunately, the connection has dropped, and we cannot be sure what is happening in the apartment where, at such a late hour, the light is still on. Probably nothing; they’re likely watching a film or reading a book. They might be projecting their reactions outward, and what we see could therefore be nothing more than the reflection of someone else’s nightmares — or dreams. Certainly, we have now reached a turning point: nothing can any longer be regarded as real, or the opposite... (all talk!).

This is the fifth in a series of eight easy, acoustic, rather short, and deliberately inconclusive tracks, assembled by combining new ideas with reworked older material, adding parts and sounds along the way.

Composed by Michele Ansani (2023-2025). This time I simply redid a piece I had posted in the spring of last year, slightly changing the atmosphere: https://soundcloud.com/michele-ansani/overlays
All the ambient noises and female vocals are taken from public sound archives.

In case nothing happens - part 5 (night again)

Tom Waits (on Jim Wilson): "Wilson, he's always playing with time. I heard a recording recently of crickets slowed way down. It sounds like a choir, it sounds like angel music. Something sparkling, celestial with full harmony and bass parts - you wouldn't believe it. It's like a sweeping chorus of heaven, and it's just slowed down, they didn't manipulate the tape at all. So I think when Wilson slows people down, it gives you a chance to watch them moving through space. And there's something to be said for slowing down the world."

Whispers from within the catacombs are captured by gentle chimes as a meandering harmonium melody guides this meditative journey inward. The chimes fade as the journey comes to an end.

Best with headphones or earbuds.

In these times, it is necessary more than ever to travel with the senses, so today I propose a virtual journey through Maresme compiling some aerial footage that I’ve recorded this summer mixed with some music made for the occasion in collaboration with maestro Pau Zañartu, I hope that during a minute you are able to travel to an organic and dreamlike world, where there are no masks, restrictions or fear of approaching others ... A big hug, I hope you enjoy it wherever you are! :-)
