« Early morning mist in the mountains, the lakeside ripples in the stillness.
On rainy days, open the window and lie in bed.
The moment when a margin is created in me.
I want to feel these senses forever. »

The new self-titled release by Feeling Flying is from Andrew Thomas and Bevan Smith, a collaboration of two like-minded musicians, focused on improvisation, experimentation and minimal sound that allowed them to create a unique expression deep within the process and to explore dynamic and ever-evolving compositions. The end results are an organic and continuous musical dialogue of sonic, interpretive landscapes.

Feeling Flying is released on CD and limited to 50 copies, they each feature vintage linen book covers and each issue is individually constructed with hand-cut collages and mixed-media artworks, and each copy is hand-numbered and packed inside glassine bags. Feeling Flying is released by Handstitched* on March 15th [pre-order now up]

Feeling Flying - Shimmer 4

As I mature and fine-tune my musical journey, I seem to gravitate more and more towards the contemporary classical genre. Why is that, and do you feel the same? I think, for me, it’s all about the connection. I want to feel emotion expressed from the composer’s soul through instruments attached to human hands. They feel like an extension of articulations flowing into sound. I also think that electronic music has that capability as well [I’ve recently acquired the Osmose from Expressive E, and let me tell you – it’s entirely something else]. And then, there is, of course, the blend of both where certain frequencies [especially the low end] can’t be generated entirely by organic means. Or when dense atmospheres and textures cloud the landscape with a gorgeous dew. This is how I feel about the latest album from the Melbourne-based composer Callum Mintzis, who first appeared on these pages a few years ago when I premiered his collaboration with Pat Jaffe in the video for V. Murmur. Mintzis is also collaborating with Tilman Robinson, who co-produced this latest album [and yes, I hear a bit of his conjuring touch]. The album is titled "And the Wind was my Dear Friend, Once Again", and across its seven pieces, Mintzis explores the mysteries of life through many philosophical questions posed alongside the release, but it is the music itself that will make you reach deep inside your own existence for the answers you will find.

And the Wind was my Dear Friend, Once Again

TRACK PREMIERE : Callum Mintzis - Once Again

Each track transports you to a serene, ethereal realm, inviting introspection and tranquility. Perfect for those moments when you need to drift away and let your mind wander through the clouds.

New Sincerity rejects postmodern irony, detachment, and cynicism, instead pursuing direct expression, vulnerability, and emotional resonance. This concept embodies a return to seriously and openly exploring one's emotions and the fundamental nature of things, without unnecessary, contrived meanings.

New Sincerity

Longing for Radha

This music was written during quiet hours with little intention beyond staying focused. Piano remains central throughout the album. Soft strings or a single woodwind appear sparingly when space allows.

These pieces are meant to accompany reading, studying, writing, or calm routines. Each track reflects a real place or moment observed briefly. The music stays patient, understated, and steady, offering presence without distraction.
