I returned to the Zingora Vocal School again this weekend, led by the incredible Iva Bittová and Timothy Hill. We learned folk songs from Czech Republic, Ukraine, Brazil, and Morocco. Sang in the woods and heard our voices resounding off of the trees. Highly recommended.

“…music doesn’t stand for something, it is something. Music at its zenith is not a metaphor…but substantive, direct experience.”

I just released some new music: Bloom Infinitum. I

I just released some new music: Bloom Infinitum. It consists of two long-form compositions recorded with my collection of over twenty tuned quartz singing bowls.

“Bloom” unfurls in a series of arpeggios. Each harmony is introduced percussively, and then blossoms into the singing tones of the bowls. Each chord lingers in the air (or in your head) as a vibrational mass for nearly a minute.

The long tones of “Infinitum” swell and fade like a tune stretched out into the cosmos. The harmonies spiral through dissonance and consonance, a play of conflict and resolution that seems as if it could go on forever.

I find that listening to these slowly evolving pieces is reminiscent of watching the almost imperceptible transformations of clouds, glaciers, or mycelia. They invite deep listening, sound journeying, or other contemplative listening contexts. Available now on bandcamp, I hope you enjoy them.

Tomorrow I will release some new recordings: Bloom Infinitum. I played stripped-down performances of both “Bloom” and “Infinitum” for last year’s 24-Hour Drone livestream, and these new versions are even richer with sustained, layered harmonies.
