I’ve been working really hard on a new “ambient mixtape.” For the past three weeks I’ve been recording violin drones and flute solos - DM me if you wanna hear some!

Learning a Jiuta pice called Matsu-Kaze. It’s the first piece I’m tackling from the Yamada-ryu Koto school. It’s really sad and lonely so it’s perfect for me!

What I want to do is not to put sounds in motion towards a goal by controlling them. Rather, I would prefer to let them free, if possible, without controlling them. For me, it would be enough to gather the sounds around me and then gently put them in motion. To move the sounds around the way you drive a car is the worst thing you can do with them.
