Kitchen Meditation for Birds is my first track exploring a blend of ambient, krautrock, psychedelic, and experimental sounds. I’m not entirely sure if these genres fully define the piece, but they were certainly guiding influences throughout the process.

The track is the result of merging two separate compositions I worked on over the past year:

The first, Meditation for Kitchen, began as an ambient piece built from field recordings taken in my kitchen. I left my phone recording while going about daily activities, then layered ambient pads and applied various effects.

The second track took a slower, krautrock-inspired approach, using guitar, bass, and drums.

Eventually, I decided to combine both ideas into Kitchen Meditation for Birds. By removing the drums and reversing the guitar, I carved out space for the ambient and psychedelic textures to interact. The final layer was a looped field recording of early morning birdsong from my hometown—captured around 6 AM—which ties the piece together.
