"Try" by Keaton Henson and Daniel Herskedal

Keaton Henson's new song "Try" with brass musician Daniel Herskedal, from his soon-to-be-released "Somnambulant Cycles" out May 31st, 2024. The achingly beautiful sound of existence, a trip to the end of the world...just look out the window and see.

"Circle 26" by Robert Koch & Foam and Sand

What a glorious piece of music this is: "Circle 26" by Foam and Sand, the ambient soundscape and visual project of award-winning composer and conceptual artist, Robot Koch. The background buzz, the swell of the song, the keening of the violins...it all makes me swoon. The BBC’s Bobby Friction noted of Koch’s music, "It sounds like artificial intelligence discovering religion."


"I started meditating 7 years ago. It’s interesting that meditation and medicine have the same root syllable. Meditating before working on my music resets my brain and helps me access ideas that are layers deeper than my conscious mind. Foam and Sand started as a self-soothing project which I now share with the intention of providing healing and inspiration to others."

"ekki hugsa" by Ólafur Arnalds

Icelandic composer and musician Ólafur Arnalds created this glorious track, "ekki hugsa." He says, "'ekki hugsa' means 'don’t think' and it's about letting go in order to express yourself creatively."

Sometimes the concept of movement boggles my mind. Not dance. Movement. Like "walking meditation"--your neurons firing, directing your flesh, your blood, your atoms to move through space, through oxygen, through other atoms, and that you can feel it all, the swing, the yaw...

Public Service Broadcasting: "Go!" and "Gagarin"

Recently released: "The Race for Space," a new collection of Space Age inspired tunes by Public Service Broadcasting.

From their website:
PUBLIC SERVICE BROADCASTING is the corduroy-clad brainchild of London-based J. Willgoose, Esq. who, along with drumming companion Wrigglesworth, is on a quest to inform, educate and entertain audiences around the globe.

PSB's uniquely spell-binding live AV transmissions see them weave samples from old public information films, archive footage and propaganda material around live drums, guitar, banjo and electronics as they teach the lessons of the past through the music of the future - beaming our past back at us through vintage TV sets and state of the art modern video projection devices.


Here are two fun songs from the collection, "Go!" which celebrates one of humankind's finest hours, and "Gagarin" which celebrates the first man in outer space, Yuri Gagarin.
