Nature Recordings - Collection

Ram Dass talks about the promises and the pitfalls of the spiritual path, and the shift of reality that happened in the sixties that was predicated by psychedelics. This shift blew apart the traditional religious systems that were in place at the time, and the psychedelics gave people a connection that they had never experienced before: a feeling that they were interconnected with the universe. When we see how much of our behavior is a defense mechanism to alleviate the pain of separateness, we begin to realize the importance of healthy intuitive and compassionate hearts.

Have you ever wanted to love and connect with others more deeply … but felt that you could use a little help shedding the “emotional armor” and opening your heart?
With Awakening Love, Pema Chödrön invites you to start wherever you are, amid any and all of the challenges, frustrations, or fears you may be facing, and to use them as the starting place to awaken the natural and boundless capacity to give and receive love more fully.
This practice-centered program, recorded at Gampo Abbey, will teach you how to apply the insights of Buddhism’s Four Limitless Ones—lovingkindness, compassion, sympathetic joy, and equanimity—to even your most difficult obstacles.
Your Obstacles to the Open Heart Are Your Most Valuable Allies
Many students confess to Pema Chödrön that they cannot think of even one person to love during heart-centered meditation practice. This is what she tells them:
“What if you could open to that frustration, just for a moment, to discover not just where love is free flowing … but where it’s not? That is how we all begin to uncover the soft spot within.”
Here, Pema Chödrön brings her unique blend of kitchen-table common sense, scholarship, and empathy to help you discover the eternal resilience and joy of your own tender, undefended, and genuine heart. Whether you’re in the midst of a challenging relationship, grief, or simply in need of heart-centered rejuvenation, Awakening Love provides you with the gentle step-by-step instructions needed to awaken the natural goodness within you.
Highlights
The Four Qualities or Limitless Ones, the roots of suffering, and expanding the capacity to love
Seeing where we’re blocked and bringing lovingkindness to our biases and fears
Aspiration practice, “not faking it,” unblocking the flow of love, and benefactors
Changing our attitude toward pain, working with anger, compassionate abiding, tonglen, and “making friends with the hard stuff”
Meditations and practices for receiving unconditional love, resting in natural awareness, cultivating gratitude and sympathetic joy, opening to the world, and more

An Extended Field Recording Collage - 
a tool for relaxation, meditation, yoga, sleep, studying, daydreaming and more.

Continuing my recent trend of presenting field recordings in an expanded setting (the 30+ minutes of "Dark Shadows in the Periphery" along with the 14 minutes dedicated to "Green Acres"), comes the latest installment in my ongoing series of rain and thunderstorm recordings. "24 Minutes" triples the duration of my previous rain releases. With the additional room to spread out, this soundscape differentiates itself from my past uploads with a more protracted narrative arc, allowing for deeper listening and a greater variety of storm sounds. Moreso than previous edits, I tried to keep as much human interference (cars, planes, etc..) out of this  project. One thing this collage does share with older tracks like "Torrential Downpour in the City" or "Midsummer Thunderstorm", is that it is in fact a collage - about ten separate field recordings are being edited and layered for a specific effect. For this particular soundscape  I wanted there to be a long intro and outro with very little thunder and an emphasis on the calming tones of rain and water. Throughout the duration there is a wealth of various water sounds - ranging from loud drips battling against an aluminum gutter (for most of the opening seven minutes or so), to the warm splashes of a light rain falling into a puddle, to the white noise created by a blistering downpour. 
     A big part of why I typically mix a variety of storms together is to achieve a fuller depth of field so that you can hear rain that is both 8-10 feet away and 50+ feet away. I also like the ability of shaping the storm in the same way as a DJ set.
     All the recordings were made with my Tascam DR-07 MK II in the late Spring / Summer of 2015 in various locations in Southeast Michigan.

Podcast: The InterGalactic Elohim

Stas Ostrikov, Ilya Podoynitsyn, Brahmi - Dyhanie

Microcosmos Records presents Memoria, a long crafted album of Vena Portae, a band from Barnaul, Russia. Vena Portae are fusing IDM, trip-hop, ambient and glitch in their live performances and recordings.

Every track on Memoria is a sonic photo card, full of memories, true stories, voices of friends and sounds of different countries.

This music is based on field recordings converted into textures, rhythmic structures and glitches. Calm and soft bass plunges you into fat bits, deep layered ambient atmosphere and sounds of live instruments. Electro and acoustic guitars, melodica, violin, metallophones were used to touch your deep childhood emotions and make transition into dreams. 

Return to your place of comfort. Remind yourself of unity with the power that created us. The power that is always with us. It's in simple things: flow of a river, breathing sound or wind. Remember the world is huge and life is endless...

Vena Portae - Wolves' Dreams

This is a recording next to a pond, at roughly 6am in the morning.

Field Recording: Australian Bush, Western Australia

The album begins at dawn in the Capertee Valley, NSW, with the melodious song of the Australian Magpie filling the misty morning air. 

Each track on this album features typical Australian birdsong from a different habitat of the Australian bush - open country, mallee, wet eucalypt forest, coastal forest, dry woodland and montane forest.

Tawny Frogmouth (from 'An Evening in the Australian Bush' album)

Let the gentle and extraordinary night sounds of the Australian bush lull you to rest.

3 minute audio sample from the 67 minute nature soundscape recording; "An Evening in the Australian Bush". Listen to the complete recording:
www.listeningearth.com/play/album/15EveningBush.php

Dusk Birdsong gives way to the rhythms of frogs and nocturnal insects. The creatures of the night begin to be heard; Sugar Gliders, Possums, Nightjars, a distant Koala, and a variety of Owls including the haunting Powerful Owl. Eventually the hypnotic calls of Frogmouths blend with the chirruping of crickets, leading you into the deep stillness of the night.

One of my first edits from my library of found sounds: "Relaxing Rain and Loud Thunder" is designed as a brief intro into my perspective on contemporary field recording. This is actually a few different storms, recorded in different times in various places piled up on top of each other to create a uniquely soothing three and a half minutes. Use good headphones and listen loud, but be ready for those loud cracks of thunder! More of my rain recordings:

OscillatingPrana - VishuddhA Live

A meditative instrumental of sitar, harmonium, and tanpura. 

This piece is in C# minor with Charukeshi and Kirwani Raag variations which evoke the mood while being meditative. The echoing melody of sitar brings tension and yearning with resolution along the way, as quantum energetic messages from the future are conveyed. The harmonium ebbs and flows with a tanpura drone provide supporting harmonies. 

This is a COVID-inspired piece and offered with Love and LIght.
