RIVULETS
in five breaths of unfolding awareness
by Valhjim

I. THE ORIGIN (Silence Before Sound)
Water flows, not to be heard, but felt.
Reversed guitar chords surge gently—waves drawn back into the sea.
Each chord grows in intensity, disappears into its own shadow.
High note (single, crystalline) emerges like starlight—
only to vanish.
This is presence, not melody.

Mode: Song of the Rivulet
Pulse: Water Stream
Play with restraint; leave space for the silence to speak.

II. EARTHWALK (Pulse of the Body)
Acoustic guitar strolls with simple intention.
Bass —solid, grounded.
Slide guitar sings long lines: no rush, only breath and wind on bare skin.
The rivulet sings on—sound as flow, presence, spirit.
Synth pad shimmers quietly, like the rain drizzle in a cool afternoon.

Mode: Dorian / Pentatonic overlays
Pulse: slow and steady—leisurely, nonchalant.
Each note settles like raindrops on leaves of trees.

III. SPIRIT IN MOTION (Chorus of Currents)
Guitar loop—the form of the stream;
a mantra of change in stillness, soft and circular.
Bass rises in octave pulses, then walks along with grace: heartbeat.
Saxophone enters as voice of the present—mindfulness.

IV. REFLECTIONS IN AIR (Fragments of Form)
Percussion scatters like stones skipping across a pond.
Guitar chords break into arpeggios—falling, floating.
Reversed chord swells return—this time, breathier, like exhaled prayer.
A flute motif glides in—solitary, weightless, like a feather in the breeze.
It does not lead—it invites.

Mode: Aeolian / suspended harmonies
Pulse: implied, not enforced
Dynamics: from whisper to rising hush

V. SILENCE SPEAKS (Between Notes)
Guitar pattern loops between two notes: A and Ab—
a dance of one small step forward, one step backwards in a loop.
Sound clusters rise—like birds breaking into consciousness.5
Jazz guitar phrases emerge, intertwined with  saxophone motifs—
echoes of one another.
Voices recede, absorbed into long slide of guitar pulse.
The mystery interval—minor second—lingers, dissolves in the distance.

Mode: Mystery space built by A and Ab
Pulse: That of the body-mind unity; the sounds of nature and spirit.
Feel: meditative, the peace that defieth understanding.

This is your initiation into the void. I give you permission to release and feel what no longer serves you. 

This is the space where you are asked to remember: 
Who are you beneath the programming? 
What forces shape your sense of self?  
Where do your memories come from?  

Ethereal Hibiscus, an alien of royal bloodline born into human form thru exile, navigates loss, transformation, and spiritual evolution. Their debut transmission, Love Starts Within the Void of Entherowal, is not a conventional music album but a ritual experiment, a sonic portal of noise, collage, and transmissions that dissolve identity, bend perception, and confronts distorted signals from the life-draining archonic alien race, the Zoroastrians.

Through this experiment Hibiscus discovers their true voice, both in song and in spirit, showing that only by daring to try, fail, and transform can one move beyond human form and uncover authentic sound and self-liberation.

 More than an album, it is a transmission from beyond, best felt in darkness + stillness + incense+ journaling & meditation. This album marks the birth of Hibiscus realigning into their cosmic identity, the first chapter in an unfolding saga of cosmic war and reclamation.

Experience the companion coloring book and enter this ritual through jojobuchmannart.com, where sound, image, and reflection merge. This work pioneers a new way of experiencing music as an immersive journey of introspection and transformation.

"I'm a mellow artist, ageing 69. I love and release eclectic music, from post-classical to drone. My fave instrument is the Mellotron."

Così, sinteticamente, di solito mi presento.

In genere compongo musica partendo dal suono delle tastiere, ma il mio vero strumento è il registratore.

O i software di registrazione.

"I was made for loving and making recorded music."

Confido da sempre nel potere evocativo e orfico della musica, nella sua capacità di riconsegnarci a mondi più veri e più giusti, più belli di quelli in cui di solito viviamo.

SoundCloud è la piattaforma musicale che preferisco perché è soprattutto il regno degli ‘amateurs’, di quelli che fanno musica per sé e per gli amici .. come quando da ragazzi si condividevano con gli altri le invenzioni e le creazioni .. io sostanzialmente sono rimasto lì e così .. non sempre, ovviamente, ma spesso ci trovo delle cose che valgono altrettanto - se non di più - rispetto a quelle più affermate e conosciute

music is what's all about.water in the desert
endless love reason to live


Pete Swinton is a half Hungarian, half Polish man born in London, UK in 1961. Between 1988 and 2003 he lived in Portugal. Since 2015 he lives in Jawa, Indonesia. He began playing guitar in the '70s. He started playing keyboards in the 2000s. He makes Ambient and Experimental music. And a cross between the 2 which he calls Insanbient music. He was using the name Srigala but has now stopped. (To hear the music as accurately as it was recorded and mixed the use of headphones is strongly recommended)

Valhjim is a music composer with an eclectic approach to different genres: rock, pop, folk, New Age, and experimental electronic music. Greatly driven by imagination and poetic imagery, he combines multiple instrumental textures to fire the imagination of his listeners. 

His more experimental ambience and electronic music is built with layers of suggestive sound textures, rhythms, and melodic lines that stir the imagination into suggestive imagery and worlds unseen, true architectures of sound that open up limitless spaces to explore. Often Valhjim's melodies sail through genre thresholds, crossing over from one genre to another, from neo classcal to electronic, or from jazz to rock or new age.
