اگر چشم هایم را خواندی 
دستی که آن را نوشته است به یاد نیاور
من به قدری تو را دوست دارم
که دلم میخواهد در خیال و افکار تو از یاد رفته باشم 
مبادا به من فکر کنی و تو را غمگین سازد
تویی که در من فروغ آن آتش را میبینی و مرگ را در جایی میبینی که از آن حیات گرفته بود
و تو همه ی این ها را میبینی و التهاب و اشتیاقت برای کسی که میدانی به زودی ترکت خواهد کرد بیشتر خواهد شد

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,

A Matter Of The Soul

از وقتی از ایران رفتم، صبح‌ها كه از خواب پاميشم، اولين كاری كه می‌كنم اينه كه ببينم از ايران چی به دستم رسيده. اخبار روز، پيغام‌های خونواده و دوستان.
امروز صبح وقتي پاشدم، ديدم "ماكسيم" برام اینو فرستاده.
....
ماکسیم مانجو فيلمساز  و موزيسين فرانسویه كه دو سال پيش واسه‌ی پروژه‌اش ازم خواست كه يه روز رو با هم بگذرونيم، واسش موزيك بزنم، از موسيقی بگم و ويديويی ازم درست كنه. 
ماكسيم تو اين مدت فرصت نكرده بوده روی ویدیو كار كنه، منم از خاطرم رفته بود و الان بعد از حدود سه سال اين فيلم رو برام فرستاد.
تنهايی و غم اون روزا، خونمون كه الان ديگه كس ديگه‌ای توش زندگی ميكنه،
ساعت ديواری كه تو هر خونه‌ای كه رفتيم با خودمون برديمش. پيانوم، سازی كه ده سال دوستم بود..ولی اين روزا روزای آخرش بود.
يه كم بعدتر پدالش خراب شد، بعد كليداش نميزد، و هرروز با هزار نشونه بهم ميگفت كه برو. تموم شد این دوره.
توی جعبه‌ی پایین پیانوم خيلي چيزا قايم ميكردم، دفتر خاطراتم و هزار تا تیکه‌ی کاغذ پرنوشته و شعر.
شب آخر كه داشتم ميرفتم فرودگاه، برای اينكه چک كنم چيزی جا نمونه توش، درش رو باز كردم. هيچی ديگه توش نبود. نه سيمی، نه كليدی، نه پدالی، نه صدايی، فقط يه آدم توش بود با لب‌های خشک، چشمای تر و نگاه نگران، كه تا منو ديد لب‌های ترک خورده‌‌اش باز شد و چشماش پر اشک شد و يه كاغذ بهم داد، و جعبه رو بست.

خنک آن قماربازی که بباخت آن چه بودش، بنماند هیچش اما هوس قمار دیگر
