beautiful song with almost Bill-Evans-like piano progressions - very beautiful and reduced!

such beautiful playing – I'm glad I found you :-)

A beautiful moment with this impro. The delay and background textures provides an original atmosphere... Beautiful work!

12 Years Later / Part 06 / Another Planet (A New Home) (Live Set)

A collaboration with a music friend Encym (Roland)  Roland is one of the very few music friends I have had the pleasure of meeting face to face  (at a Tuesday Post gig hosted by the wonderful Georgina Brett). He is leaving London to return to his home city of Munich and the track is developed from some excellent samples that he sent me. These have been  radically developed/played in the app SpaceCraft and using an app version of a  reverb unit - RX950 (I used the physical version of this  on one my first ever tunes about 30 years ago). Encym's awesome tunes can be found at:

A collection of field recordings taken in a city centre park during the day. The accompanying music attempt to capture the textures of the light and motion of the environmental sounds at the three separate locations that the sound recordings were captured.

"Wooded" is taken from "Paths", the new album by Darren Harper.

Limited edition cassettes and CD's in hand made packages available here:

https://shimmeringmoodsrecords.bandcamp.com/album/paths

“A micro-world of textured electronics and voltage; a simple wind chime singing in a breeze” 
Created with a modular synthesizer and effect pedals, Paths is an account of missteps and error, a process of understanding; an unfolding. A discovery of oneʼs voice...a reflection of nature.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

darren harper's latest work is a joyous collage for all seasons; a delicate record that soothes and refreshes the spirit.

kaleidoscopic chimes and playful bells tumble against each other. twinkling notes drift down in little flurries, then melt away as sunlit chords push aside the clouds.

low, thrumming bokeh echoes bring distant mountaintops intimately close, then curve down into hushed forest floors, winds whispering through leaves overhead. tiny layers of loops and quiet delays, jumbled melodies, sparse crackling branches, and somber swells invite contemplation of these fragile spaces.

each moment is cherished, each song reveals new life: ephemeral, yet enduring. the ice breaks, slowly gliding away as the river shakes off its long slumber.

never obscuring, always revealing; these intertwining paths abound with the hopeful promise that spring is coming.

禅は日本の心です。 
私は週末の朝早くお寺に出かけます。 
そこで、約三時間の座禅を組みます。 
心は次第に、波立っていない水面のように穏やかになっていきます。 
あらゆる環境音、無音は自分の中で意味を持ち始めます。

やがて音は光始めるのです。

Zen 禅　is a Japanese Spirit. 
I go to a temple in the early morning of the weekend. 
Then, I practice the meditation in Zen Buddhism for about 3 hours. 
The heart becomes quiet, gradually like the water surface which is not choppy, but still. 
All environmental sound and non-sound, begin to have a meaning to me . 
Soon the sound begins to shine.
