The Dying Miss Saeki (Den döende fröken Saeki) is the fourth and last movement in From the Bottom of a Well (Från botten av en brunn) based on Haruki Murakami's novel Kafka on the Shore. The the sounds were designed from, and the music was written from a grounded theory analysis of the book. The piece was performed and recorded on the 16th of December 2021 by Robert Ek, clarinet; Kevin Kirs Verstege, cello; and Rikard Vilhelm Lindell, eurorack at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm. Photography by Hannes Häfele.

at the Islington Assembly Rooms, London April 22nd 2022

This is the Full version, recorded using binaural frequencies in the Delta, Theta and Alpha range.

Going back to my heritage: Arpegiyo is a Hindu translation of the word “arpeggio” which comes from the Italian word “arpeggiare,” which literally means "to play on a harp."

Wairudorubī (AVE) ワイルドルビ

Born from the Harper’s ongoing experiments with AVE (Audiovisual Entrainment), this track draws inspiration from a excursion to Japan, aiming to blend flashing lights and intensity with the binaural frequencies. The goal is to gently guide listeners towards a peaceful, meditative state.

"Wairudorubī" is a binaural soundscape which explores the Theta and Alpha frequencies. It invites exploration of consciousness, blurring music and meditation boundaries. Immerse in this transformative experience, where sound and introspection intersect with subtle finesse.

Vocals from Leonie DG which I’ve converted to binaural audio.  These range from Delta frequencies ~ 3.5Hz to Alpha frequencies ~ 11Hz.   The visual were built in Touchdesigner and continues my theme of experimental Audio-visual entrainment. (AVE is a subset of brainwave entrainment, uses flashes of lights and pulses of tones to guide the brain into various states of brainwave activity).

The audience members were effectively agreeing to be collectively hypnotised.  Essentially what our government, the mass media etc are already doing to us on a daily basis  - the fundamental difference is that the underlying message shifts from a fear to love.

Dayflower - Muji (AJH V1t Remix)

Begin quietly with this, as one of the Ravens will perch and call right in front of the microphones, before receding into the distance, again. While it's up close, listen for the quiet 'after-voicing' at the end of many of its calls.

Recorded on land of the Danggali and Meru peoples. Unprocessed recording (96/24 > 48/24).
