- Meditation might seem abstract for various reasons, but it can be thought of as simply 'practice and observe what happens'. If thoughts flood us asking 'are we there yet?', then we can step aside and allow it to pass without identifying with it: recognize it as part of what's happening at the moment.
- Success can mean 'helping others recognize and act from their place of abundance'.
Badass, unapologetic burst of weird energy from David Binney and Kenny Wollesen. Filled with swirly saxophone solos, glitchy effects, synth accompaniments. Constantly mixing electronic with analog, improvisation and composition. Lots of multi-layering soloing. Note the separate cover art for each track.
Tom Misch: Tiny Desk Concert (2018)
Uses simple, common musical forms and devices, but with tasteful harmonic surprises. Everything is rhythmic, including the singing. Body-shaking, head-banging grooves, makes you go ‘ooooh yea’.
Blood and Dust: Around Your Grave I’ll Light a Ring of Fire
(2021 single). This new release very quickly enters a world of their own creation. Kind of impressed how someone like me who doesn’t listen to music with this aesthetic can thoroughly enjoy it—still not sure why. The intense and dark beat becomes into something simultaneously slow and fast. Love the crunchy noise synths throughout.
