A Satori is a short period of existence when you are suddenly at total peace, one with all things.  I had one in my late 20s and it was/is an astonishing gift to see how life CAN be.  This track incorporates a NASA clip of the Sun's "song", which turns water molecules into perfect crystals.  And hence our own water molecules.  This is a "Zen-ambient" piece to honor my own Satori, and to help you find yours.   The 7 Chakra-cleansing frequencies are courtesy of Jagadamba of Freesound.org, as are the birds and waves sounds.  I used a guitar loop from Apple, and Logic's metronome (which appears at the start and end to simulate the end and restart of time).  The rest is me playing.

Satori (Song of the Sun)

What if the rain is the Sun's teardrops? Может быть дождь - это слезы Солнца?

RECORDING HISTORY:   About me:   A few decades of experience!   I’ve been writing, performing and producing music since my late teens, keeping up with tech advancements. With my recording, practices and live performances in bands, I have well over 10,000 hours of experience! 

I am on the Waves subscription plan, which with my DAW, Logic Pro, and other software purchases, gives me lots  of options to get the best sounds and loudness!  Add my speaker system and studio reference headphones, constant software and skills upgrades, and I am ready and able!

Musicianship:  I play drums, electric and acoustic guitars, electric bass, and keyboards. I sing, harmonize well. Primary influences: Beatles (and George Martin), Brian Eno, David Bowie, Elton John, & Leonard Cohen. 

I am in this for the joy of creating music.  It has always been that way, since my first transistor radio (!) to hours of absorbing the masterful sounds of my influence for hours on end…and blending them with my abilities.

I started on two cheap reel-to-reel recorders in 1970, using  a surprisingly successful sound-on-sound technique (in my late teens and early 20s).  I moved to a professional reel-to-reel sound-on-sound for a spell (later 20s), and then eventually to 4-track cassette mixing recorder, mixing to reel, with several effects units (later 30s). 

I took a 14 year break from the mid-90s on, as work and family became all-consuming.  I retired from working in July 2018.  I then began writing/recording again that August, now in the digital era with GarageBand at first, then Logic Pro late winter of 2020.  

I also played drums, then guitar, and sang, in the local covers-band, Revolver...which I left in 2021.  I record/produce other artists and add instruments as needed.  Thanks for reading all this!
