Timing of Origins

Originally released on the 2004 album, "Drift", this new version brings out the depth and dimension that were always in the recording - a subtle evolution, not a reinvention. Stillness, space, and quiet motion.

Remixed and mastered by Kirk Kadish, 2025.

Drift 4 (20th Anniversary Edition)

This variation of my popular Deep Relaxation Body Scan offers an unhurried scan of the body which slowly fades out at the end to promote peaceful sleep.  With soft rain, airy wind chimes and a hypnotic Tanpura playing lightly in the background, come ease into deep rest and let both body and mind feel settled and rejuvenated.

Relaxing Body Scan for Sleep

Originally recorded 21 years ago as a solo synth track, I recently added two acoustic piano tracks and remixed and remastered the track using the latest AI-assisted technology.

Notes on Delivery

The Budding enthusiast that comes, by design or chance, to discover this collection shall, upon Preliminary Survey of its Contents, find him or herself confronted by divers  ‘Fulsome Bloomings, Abandoned Airs and Declamations’, all, indeed, allegedly composed by Messrs Drust & Erskine. 

It is, however, to be Anticipated that the fledgeling aesthete may, whilst hopefully being familiar with the general Thrust of this or that Song, find him or herself Uncertain as how best to approach the True Form of the Musical Pieces, and, moreover, how best to discern the Melody and Intonation: indeed, how to Discover, and consequently Interpret, the Leitmotif. 

Be then reassur'd that the Composers are devotees of Cantabile, and each Song in this canon has been thoroughly Mulled Over and Subjected to Rigorous and Demanding attentions. By this Means, Songs, that may, upon Inspection of the grounds upon which they were first Inspired having revealed a requirement for overly-exacting Polytonality or Interval that may Induce a certain Reticence, have subsequently been Hammer'd into a Shape that Messrs Drust and Erskine aver is Deliverable by one Mode or another. 

Accordingly, Messrs D & E press you oil your lung, fill your chest, loosen your tongue, and hold forth in as fulsome a voice as your maker may have designed for you, and relish every nuance of counterpoint, every flourish and every roundelay here afforded for your delectation.
