I’m really pleased to present Pastoral Memory, the excellent work of Dan Palladino.

When I first listened to the individual tracks, how it came to…Read more Ambient Soundbath Podcast #126 – Dan Palladino’s Pastoral Memory

Look, I gotta tell you right up front, I don’t know much about this track, Anatomy of Melancholy, except that it’s strikingly beautiful, sounds like a lost Harold Budd composition and has a strange and questionable provenance. Through some research I learned that it came from a long out-of-business shop in Boston called Gargoyles, Grotesques…Read more Ambient Soundbath Podcast #125 – Anatomy of Melancholy

“You are the music, while the music lasts…”   -TS Eliot

I was listening to Altus’ Sleep Theory, Volume 1 and I felt like I was floating.

This is a…Read more Ambient Soundbath Podcast #122 – Allister Thompson’s Autumnal

The inclusion of Paul Beaudoin’s Shakti here on the Soundbath started curiously, when a variety of Paul’s tracks showed up in my inbox. Either from a series of Twitter posts or from a Reddit/Ambient conversation, Paul knew I was looking for longform works and sent me some things.

As Louise Hay writes in her book Mirror Work: The mirror reflects back to you the feelings you have about yourself.

“The richness of a moment comes when it’s both full and empty at the same time. The truth is, we live simultaneously in time and timelessness.” — Ram Dass

“The meaning of life is just to be alive. It is so plain and so obvious and so simple. And yet, everybody rushes around in a great panic as if it were necessary to achieve something beyond themselves.” ― Alan Watts
