#sonic joy

The best way I can describe how I feel listening to Willow Beats is bliss mixed with sonic joy. Their 5-track album Alchemy is the perfect album to put on during a long drive to clear your head or on your daily commute to help you unwind from a long day. My favourite track off the Alchemy EP is Elemental. You can watch the music video here.  

at first it wasn’t much more than a less distracting alternative to the more and more soothing noise of the daily ordinary—so soothing it brought about a sense of peace i wasn’t ready for.

in fact, i wasn’t ready for anything, wasn’t nervous about anything, barely feeling. i was only passing life, one day at a time, with music as a comforting but insignificant constant in the background.

took a year of traceless days to know i had missed the point. no backdrop is insignificant: no nothing is insignificant. it is the appreciation for everything that makes possible a celebration of life without detaching one from life.

sonic companion, for instance, leaves sight untouched if not richer. recently: olafur arnalds’ living room songs and bike rides.
