ノイズの中の私の世界

A surrealist recording of an urban neighborhood street in North Texas.

Title: ノイズの中の私の世界
Description: ノイズの中の私の世界 をリリースしました。 この作品は、日常の中に常に存在している低い音、遠くの振動、重なり合う響きに耳を澄ますところから生まれました。 私たちは普段、それらを「ノイズ」として無意識に切り捨てていますが、その中で世界は形を保ち、私たちは呼吸し、生きています。
本作は、環境音と持続する音を中心に構成されたアンビエント／環境音楽作品です。 音楽として前に出るというより、空間としてそこに在り続けることを意図しています。 集中して聴いても、生活の中で流しても、どちらでも成立するように作られています。 もし今いる場所の音と、この作品の音が混ざり合う瞬間があれば、それもまたこの作品の一部です。 静かな時間のお供になれば嬉しいです。
聴いてくれてありがとう。

The Way Home

A meditation on Sikhism

Created in the spirit of Ik Onkar, the unity and interconnectedness of all things. This piece came together slowly. A changed work schedule left me without consecutive days to create, and that stalled the project for months. When life finally settled, my old machine died and took the workflow with it. But I found my way back. A new computer, a rebuilt workspace, and the thread of the project still waiting for me. This release is an offering rooted in love, service, compassion, and the human capacity to return, rebuild, and move on.
