Sam has been taking piano lessons with a teacher and started improvising over one of my new tracks! https://www.instagram.com/p/CHQjRs3HRgL/?igshid=pf9v9zj43deh
Golden Living Room (GLR) and Bathroom Plants present the penultimate song on the compilation. Freezing Winds sends beautiful organic synth floating toward the centre of the mix. A lone, lead whistle hovers above like an insect diving and soaring through the plant life. The track is awash with wonderful sounds of nature, including panpipes that whisper gracefully in the wind. The duo somehow create an evolving atmosphere of ambience, while also composing a wonderfully progressive sonic narrative as the carefree melody shapes the song in realtime.
Beer On The Rug returns with a dazzling new compilation featuring tracks from many BOTR alumni inlcuding a new track from my upcoming album with Bathroom Plants.
There is a phrase used by the Mexihcas: ‘The person who doesn’t remember their dreams is one of the living dead, as they have no control over their life when they’re awake.’
…
The main reasons to become a dreamer, according to tradition, are to deal with your past lives and the fragments of yourself that are imprisoned in the underworld, and to prepare yourself for your next death. A person who is able to dream consciously will die consciously.
Sergio Magana, The Toltec Secret: Dreaming Practices of the Ancient Mexicans
If we cannot remain present during sleep, if we lose ourselves every night, what chance do we have to be aware when death comes? If we enter our dreams and interact with the mind’s images as if they are real, we should not expect to be free in the state after death. Look to your experience in dreams to know how you will fare in death. Look to your experience of sleep to discover whether or not you are truly awake.
Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, Tibetan Yogas of Dream and Sleep
Over the past year I've been on a journey of change. Some of these images represent the change, others are just cool things that have happened in 2019. Expect a new album from me in Spring 2020!
