Segue - The Here And Now - 05 Settle Down

Two Chambers

Loscil - Two Chambers

The universe would like some stillness. In the insanity created by us, we try to find some peace and quiet. But even that has been commoditised and sold as yet another refuge from this all. The focus on our mental health has brought with it another pathway of escape. But when you run, you find yourself again, with all your demons. Wherever you may sit in silence - there you are. Perhaps some music will unhinge those thoughts and carry you throughout this session. It's time for self-reflection and repose. I have recited many words on this entrancing topic. Five years ago, I even shared guidance on meditation and on music. Can music be a tool to help you breathe? I think so. Yes. And here's one example of such wonder. "‘Demain, dès l’aube’ is a quietly powerful collaboration between From Overseas and zakè with a beautiful stillness at its center. It is meditation music that secures a clear pathway to intimate contemplation." And now is a good time to sit and to breathe. Some music reminds me of breathing: a cyclical motion that sustains our lives yet goes somehow unnoticed (until it's too late)... This is why, during meditation, it is important to bring your attention to the steady flow of your breath... This is why, during these turbulent times, I remind myself to focus on the steady flow of this beautiful music... Don't let this one go unnoticed...

Demain, dès l’aube

TRACK PREMIERE : From Overseas & zakè - Day Will Be As The Night

New track from Moss Covered Technology; forthcoming on Fluid Audio...

Dartmoor! thou wert to me, in childhood's hour, 
A wild and wondrous region. Day by day 
Arose upon my youthful eye they belt 
Of hills mysterious, shadowy, clasping all 
The green and cheerful landscape sweetly spread 
Around my home; and with a stern delight 
I gazed upon thee. How often on the speech 
Of the half-savage peasant have I hung, 
To hear of rock-crowned heights on which the cloud 
For ever rests; and wilds stupendous swept 
By mightiest storms; of glen, and gorge, and cliff, 
Terrific, beetling o'er the stone-strewed vale; 
And giant masses, by the midnight flash 
Struck from the mountain's hissing brow, and hurled 
Into the foaming torrent; and of forms 
That rose amid the desert, rudely shaped 
By Superstition's hands when time was young; 
And of the dead, the warrior dead, who sleep 
Beneath the hollowed cairn!  My native fields, 
Though peerless, ceased to please.  The flowery vale, 
The breezy hill, the river and the wood, 
Island, reef, headland, and the circling sea, 
Associated by the sportful hand 
Of Nature, in a thousand views diverse, 
Or grand, or lovely, -to my roving eye 
Displayed in vain their infinite of charms; 
I thought on thy wild world, -to me a world,- 
Mysterious Dartmoor, dimly seen, and prized 
For being distant and untrod; and still 
Where'er I wander'd, -still my wayward eye 
Rested on thee!

In sunlight and in shade, 
Repose and storm, wide waste! I since have trod 
Thy hill and dale magnificent. Again 
I seek thy solitudes profound, in this 
Thy hour of deep tranquillity, when rests 
The sunbeam on thee, and thy desert seems 
To sleep in the unwonted brightness, calm, 
But stern; for though the spirit of the Spring 
Breathes on thee, to the charmer's whisper kind 
Thou listenest not, nor ever puttest on 
A robe of beauty, as the fields that bud 
And blossom hear thee. Yet I love to tread 
They central wastes when not a sound intrudes 
Upon the ear, but rush of wing or leap 
Of the hoarse waterfall. And oh, 'tis sweet 
To list the music of thy torrent-streams; 
For thou too hast thy minstrelsies fro him 
Who from their liberal mountain-urn delights 
To trace thy waters, as from source to sea 
They rush tumultuous. Yet for other fields 
Thy bounty flows eternal. From thy sides 
Devonia's rivers flow; a thousand brooks 
Roll o'er they rugged slopes; -'tis but to cheer 
Yon Austral meads unrivalled, fair as aught 
That bards have sung, or Fancy has conceived 
'Mid all her rich imaginings: whilst thou, 
The source of half their beauty, wearest still 
Through centuries, upon they blasted brow, 
The curse of barrenness.

One of the themes of this album is, I would say, dawn, new beginnings, taking the first steps on a new journey and so on, and many of the sounds used on it were recorded early in the morning. Several feature water, be it rain or a gently burbling forest stream. The recorded sounds were then processed in various ways to create soundscapes which hopefully have something of the life and organic feel of nature in them. A commentator online once described my Snufmumriko music as ”soundscape cloth woven from field recordings” or something along those lines, and i think that’s an apt description. There’s also an almost spiritual dimension to these tracks, and I was often in a very introspective mood as I created them.
