Track created purely with guitar-generated sounds, no MIDI. 

New version uploaded in 02/2012 (original is from beginning 2011), new mix. Hard job, the recording quality isn't great... This was my first ambient track EVER :-)

Alice "Turiya" Coltrane was a visionary pianist, composer, and bandleader who spent the majority of her life seeking spiritually in both music and her private life. She released seven solo albums on Impulse! during the latter part of the decade and into the '70s, which wove together the strains of her musical thinking: modal jazz, gospel hymns, blues, Hindi devotional music, and 20th century classical sonorities.

In a [2011 New York Times article](https://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/23/magazine/the-fierce-imagination-of-haruki-murakami.html?pagewanted=5&ref=baseball), Murakami estimated that he owns 10,000 records, but was too afraid to count. Music is elemental to the atmosphere of the stories he creates, his works filled with quotations, references and inspiration from the music world; even entire novels are structured around musical pieces, as with 1Q84. 

In this Guide, NTS collects just a few of Murakami's classical references found in his novels.

'Skótos' is a collection of gloomy soundscapes portraying a year of life in Scotland. Based on improvisation, deconstructed organic sounds and field recordings taken during everyday life, hikes and wild camping trips in the Highlands, this dark ambient piece serves as a kaleidoscope of intoxicated memories of the artist: constantly swinging between moments of joy and pure darkness, love and apathy, oneness with nature and hallucination, nostalgia and escapism, the album is a rough yet emotional journal of life experiences in one of the most fascinating and wild areas of Europe.
