Breath Of The Wild

I never intended to release this piece. Recently I've been listening to a lot of ambient, meditative music that wasn't quite hitting the spot for me, so I wanted to create my own. I've been listening to this on repeat for about 3 weeks now.

There's an idea going around that our modern tuning doesn't resonate well with the human body. Some say that the way all our music is tuned these days, where A = 440, is an unnatural and not in an optimal resonance state. So I decided to make an ambient, meditative string track that's tuned lower, where A = 432. There are those who feel that this is the tuning of unconditional love, what do you feel?

String Meditation On A432

The Stars In Our Dust

I've been using the recent time indoors to connect with the things I used to do as a kid - writing music and playing games. So in between playing Borderlands 3 and eating and meditating, I wrote this. Enjoy!

Breathe and smile.

Lucid Breathing

Thank you so much for taking the time to listen to Lucid Breathing!

The vibe of this album is peaceful and tranquil and it is best listened to in quiet contemplation and in full awareness of the breath.

Blaise Pascal once said, “All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone.”

As we reach the midpoint of 2020 and see the world around us seemingly in such turmoil, one of the goals of this album is to assist the listener in being present with themselves - to help YOU sit quietly in a room alone. Hopefully this sitting will allow the listener to realize and relax into the idea that they are the eye of the storm - one can remain calm and centered in the turmoil and thus create action from a position of clarity, centeredness, and balance.

Lucid Breathing came about during the first month of quarantine almost by accident. One evening I was sitting at home a bit bored - I’d played through enough video games and watched enough movies for the week - so I decided to look back through old audio recordings. 

I soon discovered a folder of solo piano recordings going back over three years and I started to listen. Mixed in a number of different Logic sessions I found enough tracks to make up an album, and thus the idea for Lucid Breathing was formed.

Some of the songs had come about very quickly - some songs took over 3 years to really blossom. Specifically, I had recorded between 30 and 40 different versions of Etude in Em and Yes But This Yes But That, feeling satisfied only with the exact versions that ended up on the album. Additionally, each of these 30 to 40 versions were slightly different - I never played those songs the same way twice. This made it very interesting to go back and listen and find versions that really worked.

I hope you enjoy the album and are able to find some time to to sit quietly in a room by yourself and feel satisfied. I wish you balance and clarity moving forward and I hope that this album can provide some assistance in your journey through this life.

Much love,
