This is the 3rd of 3 album preview pieces for the album "above a darkness of earth." Our wish, with this piece and with the whole album, is to offer a calm, meditative piece to help towards a deepening connection with the earth and each other.

Here is the poem that I wrote which inspired this music:
Hum, just above, a darkness of earth

River runs nearby,
gurgles and murmurs, 

sounds out 
under submerged tree trunks, 
pale and immersed in the flow.
Blackness of deep night 
has 
already settled here.

Still,
fine, serrated leaves whisper with the wind,
gently hover over darkness.

Stems from last year
still 
rise up,
Still,
connected to dark earth.

Purple blossoms, in rows of hearts
Still,
hum quietly 
to each other,
just 
above a darkness of earth.

Hum, just above a darkness of earth

while trying to sort out the archive I came across this recording from 27 May '22.
Unfortunately it is an unrecoverable project... the program it was created with (Ableton) crashes every time you try to open the project.
I don't remember anything about it, what equipment was used for the recording... 
the only thing that remains is this file, very interesting in my opinion.
it's pretty much as recorded except for a small reduction in volume and the duration changed by about a minute less..
the only attempt to try to recover it is to look in the archive for the days immediately before or after the creation to try to understand what I was working on in that period..

I share music that I have made here solo or in groups. I am bundling my work with some online friends as a project oriented, micro-collective. We are happy to share with you!
