I don’t know anyone who escaped the intense gravity of 2020. In addition to a pandemic, this year also saw the unexpected passing of my father. A loss I’m still trying to process. I’ve spent a great deal of time contemplating death, disease, and division over the last several months. Music has always been my primary outlet of expression. As a result, I made a lot of music in 2020. (Four releases!) But as I land on the other side of them, I find myself increasingly feeling lost and out of place. I am often daydreaming about being somewhere else and unreachable. This sense has carried over into my music listening habits as well. I’ve desired quieter sounds that feel less tethered to a place or time. Fewer words. More feeling. To, perhaps, communicate something words cannot yet find. And that is what I have found in these songs over the last several months. To me, each of these pieces feels like rivers that drift or breeze stirring trees in a geography I would prefer to dwell. So I sit in these songs and let them fill my house throughout the days and evenings until, hopefully, I embody the spirit of their imagined origins. John Carroll Kirby “Canyon (Waiting Alive In A Canyon)” Brian Eno “And Then So Clear” 3617 “Orphans of The Sky” Dedekind Cut “Tahoe” Warmth “The Creek” Toshifumi Hinata “Misldsummer Night” Johnny Nash & Suzanne Kraft “Time, Being” The Blue Nile “From A Late Night Train” Gigi Masin “The Word Love (Original Mix)” Windy & Carl “Forest Trails” Arve Henriksen “Sorrow and Its Opposite” --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/soundwavemix/message
