One night I went into my living room, picked up the guitar and ad-libbed these four songs.

Over The Hills

The Cult In The Trees

Inside

Cold In The Town

Welcome to the depths. 
Where stillness becomes movement — and life thrives in pure diversity.


This session is inspired by the underwater world: strong yet fluid, calm yet full of motion. A reminder that resilience is found in the quiet and in the ever-changing pulse beneath the surface.


We invite you to close your eyes, dive in, and let the sound guide your own introspection. Feel the flow. Explore the unknown.


A heartfelt thanks to the producers whose music makes this journey posible.


Stay tuned — more sessions are rising from the deep soon.

It's a pleasure!


📍 Marcoola, Sunshine Coast, QLD


[Castellano]

Las profundidades del océano nos recuerdan que la calma y el movimiento pueden convivir en perfecta armonía.
Ahí, donde la oscuridad es hogar y la vida se transforma, existe una danza constante: diversa, resiliente y llena de fuerza.


Esta sesión es un viaje por esas capas del mar interior. Un recorrido donde los ritmos se expanden, las texturas se mezclan y las emociones fluyen sin prisa, pero sin pausa.


Escucha, siente, sumérgete.
Y déjate llevar hacia ese lugar donde el océano y el alma se vuelven uno. 


Agradecemos a las y los productores detrás de esta música, que con su arte hacen posible esta experiencia submarina de sonido y sensibilidad.


Más sesiones vienen en camino — gracias por acompañarnos en esta travesía.

Un placer!

Inside Kaiwen Thompson’s Unique Approach to Online Storytelling

This set dives into the adrenaline that rises beneath the waves — that alert, present state where every sound, every shift in the water, feels alive.

It’s a journey of focus and immersion, inviting you to surrender to what surrounds you and what moves within you.

Across one hour, these selections flow like underwater currents: sharp at times, steady at others, always guiding you deeper into the moment.
A space to enjoy, to feel, and to let the ocean vibe carry you.

Deep gratitude to the producers whose music shaped this dive.

Settle in — and let the depths unfold.

Es un viaje de foco e inmersión, que te invita a entregarte a lo que te rodea y a lo que se mueve dentro de ti.

Durante una hora, esta selección fluye como corrientes del océano: a ratos intensas, a ratos estables, siempre guiándote más profundo en el momento presente.

Un espacio para gozar, sentir y dejar que la vibra del mar te lleve.

Agradecimientos profundos a los productores que hicieron posible este viaje con su música.

Sumérgete — y deja que las profundidades se revelen.

The East Australian Current (EAC) is a warm, southward, western boundary current that is formed from the South Equatorial Current (SEC) crossing the Coral Sea and reaching the eastern coast of Australia. At around 15° S near the Australian coast the SEC divides forming the southward flow of the EAC. It is the largest ocean current close to the shores of Australia.
