simple songs

love is simple
perfectly understood
by animals and children
who still hears its song

it carries no burden
asks for nothing in return
all day and night it sings
so that in a quiet moment
we may hear
its song

from 'septembers längtan' - https://purl.bandcamp.com/album/septembers-l-ngtan

faded images from the forests and skies of my youth ♡

most of the tracks of this album date back quite far, some of them close to two decades. they represent visions from perspectives that no longer exist outside of these records. the person that shaped them is no longer here as a present experience, yet each and every image of life is imprinted into the fabric of consciousness, and that imprint will remain as long as this universe continues to exist and maybe beyond.

septembers längtan

Behind Clouds

Mushrooms

Essence

Complete dissolution

of all known structures

No longer a distance

to the direct experience

Within the 

indescribable intensity

of a fluid existence

new connections form

opening routes for consciousness to

immerse deeper into the viscera

the Anayatron

forming a nervous system

and a heart 

a portal to Infinity

a rift within the innermost chamber

forever receptive to its

silent emanation

Ancient Skies

Ayaavaaki & Purl - Chambers of Rebirth (Ovum I) [LILA लीला]

Audio previews of the fourteen stages of the journey that form the chapters to the cosmic saga 'Ancient Skies' by @ayaavaaki & Purl, unveiled on the 23rd of February 2023.

chapters:

1. Ancient Home (Sphere I) [15:39]
2. Xenogeneic Links (Sphere II) [17:58]	
3. Cave of Brahma (Resonance I) [05:22]	
4. Chamber of Serenity (Resonance II) [09:09]	
5. Exosphere Antennae (Bridge I) [15:20]
6. Mystery Probe (Intercept I) [01:50]	
7. Lunar Chapel (Intercept II) [09:26]	
8. Archaic Syntax (Bridge II) [08:00]	
9. Gateway Realm (Spiral I) [10:06]	
10. Existential Void (Spiral II) [06:38]	
11. Chambers of Rebirth (Ovum I) [15:29]
12. Distant Lights (Ovum II) [05:38]
13. Gravitational Collapse (Passage I) [12:40]
14. Einstein-Rosen Bridge (Passage II) [10:51]


Like any true journey, it stars with getting lost.
Lost beyond the hope of ever being found.
Drifting through space, alone.
One's form begins to disintegrate,
the contours of identity fading.
The distress call long since silenced,
no longer any ideas left of who could respond.

An infinite surprise; a sunrise.
In the midst of a dark void, a swirl of light.
With echoes of a song sung before life became life.
Memories from a world existing long before the world now known,
still lived now through the vortex of time.
And the song we sang before the first dawn
is heard again by the ones who journey on forever.

Evighet

Hollow (Preview)

Purl / Evighet

Carved hollow by the sorrow of seeking 
The heart became a chamber of resonance 
A descent deep into memories revealed 
That attempts to control are but remnants from a dream 
A wound with no identity 
Underneath, nothing was forever free 
And what never began 
Will never end

Release notes: 

Almost seven years in gestation, Verdant Compost is finally ready to enter the public consciousness on Earth Day, 2017. A mammoth undertaking larger than any previous remix projects I've attempted before, Verdant Compost collects six discs of reconstituted Verdant Acre source sound, produced by a long and talented list of craftsmen from all over the world. 

The first four discs are sequenced sets of mixes, and the final two are themselves full-length album affairs by Zwei Kreise and Orson Throb, respectively. From deep and dubbed out techno to thick, textured drones, and everywhere in between, Verdant Compost casts a wide range of colors, temperatures and atmospheres, all built using source recordings from the same damaged vinyl sides and drum machines I used to create the original six volumes of the Verdant Acre series. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to the many talented musicians who took part, in order of appearance:

The box set comes with six special glossy 4x6" photographic prints, mutated and reconfigured from the original Verdant Acre photography, housed comfortably with the six discs inside a VHS-tape sized black plastic box that matches the recent Verdant Acre reinstatement and the ambient companion Verdant Night. 

A humble and grateful thanks to all of the amazing producers who took part in this gigantic project - without you, we may have never known these half-familiar sound fields.

Violante (lost in a dream)

The heart comes to rest 
the wind settles down 
the longing begins to stir 
the wind begins to move 
enfolding each branch and limb 
stroking each leaf and hair 
setting in motion her swing 
remnant from a distant glimmer 
of a childhood that continues on 
forever 

...

– Stillpoint – 

At the center of us is a focal point of consciousness 
Perfectly still, yet vibrant with life 
This is our natural state 
Ever at peace, yet ever expanding 

Ever at peace 
In knowing that being can never cease to be 
Thus there is no death 
Only eternal life 

Ever expanding 
In knowing that eternity is never done 
We are in continuous motion towards what lies beyond 
Across endless new horizons

Ancient Skies, the new album from Ayaavaaki & Purl is out now: https://purl.bandcamp.com/album/ancient-skies

--

Growing up in this world, I found my refuge in nature. Lost among trees, resting in the sounds of rivers and brooks, forgetting about everything except the beauty of life surrounding me.

Nature reflected back something deep within myself that I had lost touch with: the perennial joy that is the foundation of existence. 

I received the name Purl for the music that was flowing through me, as a tribute to the sounds of nature that had reminded me of the unimpeded flow; the essence of life. 

My intention with Purl is to let our true nature be felt and expressed through patterns of sound.
