Music For Sleep - Small Worlds (Radio Edit)

Tour 2023

Orion I

This past weekend I was digging through the many archived recordings I have on my hard drives. I've come across a series of captured sounds which I released on Headphone Commute exactly a decade ago under the series I titled Sound Postcards. I found that I've completely forgotten about these little gems shared by many of my favourite artists, including Nils Frahm, Dustin O'Halloran, Taylor Deupree, Hauschka, Richard Chartier, et al... and those who are no longer with us today, like Marcus Fjellström. If you're curious about this project, check out all of the archived clips on this Soundcloud Playlist. Among the many shared moments, I found a recording of a Meditation Bell being struck to call us back for another sitting, which I captured during my very first silent retreat 10 years ago. I remember the teacher telling us to focus on the sound, slowly receding into silence and staying with it until it could no longer be heard. This was a fascinating experience, and I wondered whether or not the sound continues to resonate forever, even if the pressure displacement of air, on a molecular and quantum level, is no longer observable. This turns out to be true. The laws of our universe dictate that energy and information can not be created or destroyed. This not only means that music is a direct causality of all previous moments but that it truly lives on forever, even when it can no longer be heard... What does this all have to do with a beautiful new record by Swedish composer and pianist Henrik Lindstrand? I think it's all there in his music: the important connections with nature and space, the influences of past and present musicians and painters, the performance of a 16-piece string orchestra conducted by LSO's Robert Ames, and the mastering touch of Francesco Donadello, all have contributed with their own past experience to the totality that makes up his new album. And I hear it all...

"Dedicated to a very close friend of mine that went through a dark period in his life. I think the melody contains hope and light and the rhythm in the chords is inspired by a traditional Swedish folk dance but slower than often used. There is a tension between melancholy and joy and the piece modulates a couple of times and ends up in a new place."

Lost Tribe Sound proudly introduces 'In The Octopus Pond', the first album in a series of album from Arrowounds, titled, the 'Therianthrope Series.' With previous works, Ryan Chamberlain has taken us through personal lows and bleak watery worlds in disrepair. However, 'In The Octopus Pond' sheds much of that skin and sets course for lush, green environments steeped in the bizarre. That said, this new material sounds more accessible than ever. The first entry in the trilogy draws from a range of musical influences, Can, Bark Psychosis, Young Gods, Slowdive, Durutti Column, Seefeel and much of early 4AD.

Rather than tackle some inner monologue or global crisis with the album, ITOP is instead accompanied by an obscure short story and visuals just as fitting. As both Arrowounds and LTS would prefer to take some time away from heavy realities and make up our own.

For here it begins and circles back into itself…
In the days before the great boil, the earth was lush and green, cared for by a race of mystic octopoed. In acts of preservational instinct, many chose to build their temples high on top of engineered tumuli, weary of prior flooding and wildfires that drastically disfigured the landscape. It was here that these priests of arms who carved ornate reliefs into the great pillars of obsidian and bone, dug down seeking mineral deposits in the earthen abyss and found a gestating world beneath the below... to be continued

7. SLOW - FAST

There are many things that we cannot accurately perceive, and the concept of "time" is probably one of them. Since ancient times, many philosophers and thinkers have explored the topic of "time," but I believe that we still do not understand time itself, let alone changes in time.

Suppose you meet a friend for the first time in 10 years. You will start with "How have you been?" or "What are you doing now?" Then you would gradually start talking about different things, trying to make up for the 10-year gap, forgetting about yourself. You left the house with plenty of time to spare, but before you knew it, it was time to go to your next destination. Such an experience is quite common. You have lost control of yourself in the midst of regular time because your consciousness has been diverted to an unexpected turn of events.

If you are listening to this track and your consciousness is directed to something other than the track, and the stronger that consciousness is, the less likely you are to notice the changes that are occurring in the track.

Our innate ability to perceive is not that strong, and the world is full of things that we cannot find unless we actively seek them out.

Transition 7

With this album, Glåsbird's 'A Sonic Expedition' draws to its close. It began at the North Pole, in the frozen waters of the Arctic Ocean and it ends at the South Pole, on the world's least populated continent; the ice-capped desolate grandeur that is Antarctica. It had been suspected that this land existed long before it had been discovered and many had died in their pursuit to find it. Some may even have died as a consequence of accidentally discovering it, through detoured voyages striking into glaciers.

The music here in Antarctica returns to Modern Classical, as the artist comes full circle. Echoes of 2019's debut album set in Greenland can be felt in places, as soaring violin and cello collide. However, these 8 tracks gather up the compositional and technical learning throughout the series, as Glåsbird looks forward to the challenges of the future.

The photography in this album is from Oceanographer Neha Ramsarup, who traveled on the South African polar vessel SA Agulhas II, deploying instruments and collecting seawater samples along the voyage from Cape Town (South Africa) to South African National Antarctic Expedition (SANAE IV). These trips are joined by a range of marine scientists, whose keen interests lie in ocean properties such as sea ice and weather as well as mammals, birds, whales and penguins who call these polar regions home.

This series of 8 albums has been a world of discovery for this anonymous composer, as their work etches into sound the hours of inspiration drawn from vintage maps, documentaries, Google Earth explorations and countless articles. Along the way, a familiar theme threads through the work as at every turn, Glåsbird's studies led to the events of climate change. The devastating effects are real, with melting glaciers, rising seas, disintegrating ice caps, wild fires, war and warming seas unintentionally finding their way into the concepts of this series.

As a clear juxtaposition to this, the sheer beauty of our world is also uncovered, with the work of visual artists helping bring this to life through the album covers and packaging imagery. There's an enormity and poignant feel to the music too, as melancholy classical notes extend through an eerie chill, or sun-bleached tapes explore hidden islands and tropical climes. The natural beauty of our world can be felt throughout this collection alongside a sense of despair too, at its apparent demise. Humans are doing what they can to build a momentum of awareness on our tired old planet, through education and urgency. It is hoped through this series that it can add to this movement somehow even if in a small way, to build a sense of care for our planet.

Tiny Leaves is the music of Joel Nathaniel Pike. He has developed his sound as a solo artist alongside years of writing and performing in bands. He describes his music as being rooted in narrative, but is often surprised at the undefinable end result. His music has a delicate, cinematic quality that brings a quiet hope.
