Butterfly Dreams

The title is inspired by Zhuangzi’s story The Butterfly Dream.

www.philosophy-foundation.org/enquiries/view/the-butterfly-dream

I interpret it as a reminder that what we perceive as reality is no different from a dream.

If that’s the case, then all we need to do is live each day with ease and peace of mind. In truth, there’s nothing to worry about—our own egos are what create those concerns. Let’s let go of those illusions, relax, and live lightly.

サブスクライバーの皆様へ。

Butterfly Dreams

タイトルは荘子の説話、「胡蝶の夢」から引用しました。

ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E8%83%A1%E8%9D%B6%E3%81%AE%E5%A4%A2

私たちが見ていると思っている現実も、夢と変わりはないという意味だと私は解釈しています。

もしそうであるなら、ただ毎日安心して気楽に生きればよいのです。本当は何一つ思い煩うことはないはずなのに、私たちの自我がそれをつくりだしているだけなのです。その幻影を振り払い、リラックスして軽く生きていきましょう。

Hello, friends! We present to your attention a joint author's work of three musicians from Belarus. We decided to immerse you in the world of dreams: sometimes light, and sometimes deep, dark, multi-level, reminiscent of the film "Inception". The original is recorded in the style of atmospheric breaks and supplemented with psychedelic elements. Also on the single there is its extended mix and ambient version. Enjoy listening!

Like a garden aspires to a sun that's out of reach, a wise man reaches for his  ideals, though unattainable. - anonymous

Well, I may not be so very wise, but I sure aspired a whole lot to bring you this tune.

So Also on Earth

Towers in Haze is a slow-moving ambient drone piece by Eir Drift, blending soft synth layers and subtle textures to create a feeling of calm urban introspection.
Inspired by the image of a distant city skyline shrouded in fog, Towers In Haze invites you to drift through space, memory, and warmth.
Perfect for late-night focus, meditation, or simply letting your mind wander.

Eir Drift - Towers In Haze

On a day with good weather, I feel like going outside. It's nice to travel somewhere far away, but even a simple walk around the neighborhood feels great.
On a nice day, I love to go to a large park near my home. When I lie down on the grass and gaze at the sky, I feel as if I'm being drawn into it. The clouds slowly change shape as they drift by, and airplanes fly, leaving white streaks behind.
When I close my eyes, I can smell the grass and hear the voices of children playing in the distance. The wind feels gentle as it caresses my cheek, and I feel a sense of peace, forgetting the hustle and bustle of daily life.
I don't need to do anything special; just being there makes me feel happy. A day with good weather is an irreplaceable time for me, offering me this simple kind of happiness.

I had the honor to work with the guys of @ecovillage on a piece for their new album which was recently released on eilean.
It was a lot of fun working on this, pursuing the idea of faint, hazy orchestral arrangements. Recorded some piano tracks for it as well. Please also have a listen to the rest of the album, it's wonderful!

We like to build things and watch them run. We love music, Ambient to Epic, Meditative to Cinematic... We enjoy building backing tracks for enhanced live performance... And we love to discuss NST and fifths tuning.... 

In 2007 I Googled every instrument under the sun, and saw there is a 'jazz' usage of just about every instrument. Even jazz bagpipes. Back then somebody tabulated the term "jazz" and its association with musical instruments, and just about everything was represented - But NO CITTERN.

And that year jazzCittern was born.

(What's a jazzCittern? The 10-string long-scale bouzouki is really the happy offspring of a Mandocello and a Bouzouki. This instrument, when tuned CGDAE, becomes an extraordinary jazz instrument - the extra course illustrates the wonderful symmetries available in fifths tuning. Chord building and scale visualization is a breeze.)

Virtually and musically yours,

CS
