breathing ripples

I’m playing a show for the first time in over 2 years.  Eleven new songs. 

Fri. Jan. 6th 2017, 5pm, FREE

Here are the 10 cassettes that I listened to and loved the most: Guenter Schlienz, AUGENBLICKE (Sacred Phrases) kyle landstra, JEWELED MOON CODEX (Inner Islands) Oxherding, THE PAST IS GONE AND THE FUTURE IS NOT YET HERE (Self-release) Inner Travels, PHASES OF A FOREST MOON (Otherworldly Mystics) Channelers, SPACE MAKES CLEARING (Inner Islands) Havenaire, TREMOLO (Constellation Tatsu) Hainbach, ASHES (Self-release) Fugleon, I HAD TOO MUCH DRONE LAST NIGHT (Metaphysical Circuits) Andreas Brandal, THE LAND OF PERFECT TWILIGHT (Fluere Tapes) Starkey, CHARTING STARDUST (Sacred Phrases)

kyle landstra, JEWELED MOON CODEX ( Inner Islands)

I doubt this tape will make it through the new year–it has been a constant companion through the year, and I can already hear the weary hiss and moan of an overplayed tape complaining at me. But alas, music is meant to be listened to–especially when it is as incredible as this. One of the most profound musical experiences I have had. JMC combines all of the things I love in ambient music: an unplaceable, but gnawing sense of longing; a yearning for both the absent past and a future that may never come; and an acceptance of the present, which is really the only mystery this world has to offer.
