Released on 13 May 2024.
The full release has been recoded from a blank flimsy tape, then slightly mastered with the intention to keep as much of the original source as possible, making it audible enough to enjoy its true beauty.
Side A — 29:52.
Side B — 29:52.
How to listen
Twice as quiet as you normally listen to music.
First lower the volume, then play, make it audible and forget about it.
Side B is my favourite.
May be a natural time counter, because each side is 30 minutes, and the whole release is 1 hour.
Don’t listen longer than 1 hour in a row, take a break of silence before repeating.
Foreword
When it plays softly in my jacket pocket, it creates my own micro audio personal space. It envelops me like an elastic shield, giving me confidence. I usually lose sight of it playing quietly quickly and for long periods of time.
When its plays softly enough to not disturb me, but audible enough to replace my own noise of thoughts, when this beautiful balance achieved, this record brings a real pleasure of awareness and flow state.
On all streamings
The mantra, then, is a distraction. And while certain distractions can take you out of the present moment, others can keep the conscious part of yourself busy so that the unconscious is freed up to work for you. Worry beads, rosaries, and malas work in the same way.
