light , dark , or beyond both ?

Another invitation to close your eyes and take a journey within (headphones and an undisturbed lying-down position preferred , but not necessary)

I recorded 8 separate synth parts of varying length and let them loop over each other - thus creating a random and ever-shifting yet familiar soundscape. or something like that

 this is a live  1-take recording

10:00 exactly by chance; what are the chances ??

inspiration came from tripping out to Music for Airports by Brian Eno; how it was even possible to be held in such peace and timelessness for so long is still beyond me.

-listen to this in any way you want and on any medium... but if possible, lie down with headphones and let it take you for the ride, like really take you with full surrender until the very end .. which will become apparent as hopefully you are reborn - either way i'd like to have your feedback...

Poor Michael Fish. Britains beloved weatherman for years . Remembered for ‘wrongly’ predicting the weather one day 
The audio is his interview refuting the claims

g h o s t h a u s  ft. Michael Fish

inspired by the notion to unplug, of leaving your thoughts utterly to one side , to reside and be held in the sensations of the body for a little while. It'll all still be there when you come back

***************************
“Nature loves courage. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles. Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up. This is the trick. This is what all these teachers and philosophers who really counted, who really touched the alchemical gold, this is what they understood. This is the shamanic dance in the waterfall. This is how magic is done. By hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering it's a feather bed.”

― Terence McKenna

I had a dream where Chopin was cryogenically frozen, then thawed out centuries into the apocalyptic future and is forced to play something even though he sees no point, while at the same time he can't go over a certain tempo or he'll die (much like Keanu Reeves' character in the movie Speed)

This is as close as i'll ever get to that
