01: Theta

Hello friends!  ☯︎

Here's the recording of an ambient set I had the pleasure to play at Harvest Festival 2022 this fall. The gathering took place in a beautiful pine forest in Ontario and has been happening for over 20 years now.  

I would describe this set as Yin energy, a place where the rhythms are less dominant, which allows the storytelling to be experienced in a more calm environnement. It’s one of the most fulfilling moments that I felt in my music journey this year. 

In the sometimes chaotic and noisy world we live in, it feels somehow very healthy and natural to connect with these frequencies that are rooted, zen, earthy yet cosmic. A sonic safe space in which we can be present and breathe. 

Like my yoga teacher would say:  may the benefit of this session be shared with all beings in the world. 

Thank you for listening

Thanks and acknowledgements: 

  I want to acknowledge the recording of this set was done in Burk’s Falls Ontario, on aboriginal land that has been inhabited by Indigenous peoples from the beginning. In particular, we acknowledge the Anishinaabeg territory. 

Thank you to Justin, Angela, Hugues and all the Harvest community for creating a space to share this kind of music as a way to land the festival and ground ourselves. Thank you to the amazing participants who were there to listen and share the space with us! 

Super grateful for all the amazing artists, musicians and composers who created the songs I got to play in this mix. I also really enjoyed meeting Andrew Interchill during that weekend and discovering his amazing ambient performance on the same night.

  I’m thankful for Ashlee for joining me during that weekend and sharing some of those beautiful songs that she collected over the past year. She also took the cover art picture! x

Tides is an Ambient artist originally from the South East of England, now residing in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, where the rugged landscapes and serene beauty deeply inspire both his music and photography. Having previously released on labels such as Dewtone Recordings, Shimmering Moods Records, Mystery Circles, and SoundGhost, Tides has spent years refining a sound that blends organic instrumentation, experimental processing, and deeply personal themes. With early days spent with Jazz, Funk, and even Deathcore, his journey toward Ambient music has been shaped by a lifelong passion for sound and recording.

Where Her Flowers Still Bloom is a deeply personal exploration of memory, grief, and healing, written as a response to witnessing his mother’s battle with early-onset dementia. As words failed to capture the weight of this experience, music became an outlet for reflection, with each track serving as a sonic expression of love, loss, and fading recollections. Through a delicate interplay of electric and acoustic guitar, piano, field recordings and granular synthesis, Tides crafts an album that is both intimate and expansive, drawing listeners into a world of nostalgia and emotional depth.

The album’s sound design is built on a fluid creative process that blends traditional recording techniques with experimental methods. Intricate textures were sculpted which blur the boundaries between composition and sound manipulation. With a young family, his workflow has been built around short bursts of time, balancing music with family life. This allows him to continuously sample, resample, and refine sounds into deeply immersive atmospheres.

Beyond its musical elements, Where Her Flowers Still Bloom is also a reflection on personal growth and transformation. Over the past year, Tides has embraced trail running, minimalism, and mindfulness as ways to navigate mental health challenges and to break cycles of consumerism and addiction. Inspired by artists like Austin Cairns (r beny), whose story of personal recovery resonated deeply, Tides has found balance through creativity and nature, shaping an album that is as cathartic for him as it is moving for the listener.

(The seventh octeber)

Inner Peace, World Peace. 24 X OM chants by Johann, overtone singing from Chis, who also weaves his bansuri flute around the OM's and over the atmospheric ambient pads (that includes a Tibetan monk synth :-)). We overdubbed a brief sound journey at the end. 

This was to be a central track for one of our main live yoga music projects, to chant with groups of people for inner transformation, for outer change.

OM Transform Yoga, Meditation & Mantra Music

OM Transform Sound Journey. Chris Tokalon & Johann Kotze

I like Music, i want to express how i feel through my music and hopefully someone likes it
