We're here to trace a line from electronic sound designers to classical composers, connecting them through the realms of ambient & cinematic music.

Awake in the World Podcast is a library of talks on a wide-range of topics, including bringing mindfulness and meditation practice into daily life; personal and community issues regarding mental health; and social change. The podcasts were recorded at live events so you might hear coughing, airplanes, cars, sirens, laughter, and peoples’ questions—all part of the intimate experience. Michael Stone (1974-2017) was a Buddhist teacher, author, and mental health advocate. His legacy is stewarded by Carina Stone. Podcast funded by Patreon (patreon.com/michaelstone).

"The most powerful and magical language is music. The reason for this is that music is the original language. Music is not ornamented poetry, and poetry is not ornamented prose. Poetry is fallen music, and prose is fallen poetry. Prose is not the original language; it is poetry made practical. Even poetry is not the original language; it is music made speakable, it is the words of music separated from their music. In the beginning was music." (Peter Kreeft, Philosophy of Tolkien)

21 years since their formation in Nashville, Hammock has emerged as a leading light in instrumental music, with a unique sound that melds elements of ambient, electronic, orchestral, and shoegaze.

Multi-instrumentalist KJ Hagan lives and works in a quietly historic part of London. He divides his time between his instruments and tending the rare woodland species Ghost Orchid (Epipogium aphyllum).

Inspired and influenced equally by 1970's British TV themes and the works of composers such as Mompou, Ponce, Glass and Part, some of these solo instrumental tracks have found their way to their spiritual home on BBC Radio 3, while others have been used to underscore short animated movies for charities.

KJ Hagan continues to search for his musical Holy Grail: a melody married to a chord progression that will deliver surprise, nostalgia, longing and delight... all at once.

Author of Stoicism and the Art of Happiness and How to Think Like a Roman Emperor.
