Ambient / Sound Wellness Mixs Launch
" now up on souncloud are the first two mixs (of eight) that have been used in a clinical setting by SABI Mind for over three years now. it has also been used by close friends and myself, many times over too ..over and over, as they were carefully designed for repeat use. to entrain to. to reach for as a reliable tool. for the purposes of meditation, clearing, unwinding, calming, relaxing, deepening, inner explorations & journeys, grounding, centering, focusing, resting, drifting, quieting, sleeping, transforming, transporting, healing and other related purposes.
they stand on their own as contemporary ambient mixs and also fully functions in the sound wellness realms. they keep the promise of holding space for the listener the entire time, without any blips or trips or artful overly expressive side-quests, just slowly and reliably modulating and evolving and unfolding.
the first mix is called 'CLASSIC abstractions' because, and because it's the first mix in the series we start at the beginning and honour the foundations and feelings of classic ambient music ..as we also abstract from them (staying present in the now, not just in the past). many thanks and acknowledgements to the absolutely perfectly executed music made by all the artist's in the mix - a decent handful of them being local as well.
the second mix is called 'moving SHADOW'. it digs a bit deeper into engaging with, and ultimately separating and clearing, shadow elements. it's not super heavy or intense in this way, it's somewhat subtle and the mix also still retains it's primary universal purpose of use - it's just one notch or two towards this specific goal (compared to the first mix). many thanks and acknowledgements to the absolutely perfectly executed music made by all the artist's in the mix - a decent handful of them being local as well.
more mixs in the series will reveal over time.
immensely happy to sharing these now, more broadly, with everyone. please enjoy, be well, and be good ❤️ "
courtyard series and tsimka collab announce
"one of a current musical collaborations i have going on right now, which i feel so good and whole about, rich with depth and learnings and new/next/needed energy.
tsimka and i started with a simple remix in 2020. and now were past the halfway mark of working on a full release together (somewhere between a long EP and a shorter album). full of natural sounds and words and energy of the west coast.
friday aug 12th will be our first time performing together and first time revealing the sounds we’re been working on. there will be an opening solo set from me (contemplative soundscapes and quiet rhythms), then an intermission, then the two of us together. early evening sit down show, in the little outdoor courtyard of the fire hall arts centre (follow link for tix and more info). 🌻"
