I’m really pleased to present Pastoral Memory, the excellent work of Dan Palladino. Dan first got in touch through email and as I listened to Pastoral Memory, I was struck by what a great addition this would be to the Ambient Soundbath Podcast. 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 isn’t an uncommon experience when listening to the best of what the drone ambient genre has to offer; when the artist has resolved to focus on artistry and experience, letting the compositions be rather than shoe-horning knob twiddling…Read more Ambient Soundbath Podcast Redux

It’s always my pleasure to feature the work Allister Thompson. Through the years, Allister has become a friend, collaborator and kindred spirit.

This is a…Read more Ambient Soundbath Podcast #122 – Allister Thomspon’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. I was instantly smitten with Paul’s beautiful…Read more Ambient Soundbath Podcast #121 – Paul Beaudoin’s Shakti

With episode #119, I’m really proud to present the work of Ceramic (aka Daman Hoffman).

As Louise Hay writes in her book Mirror Work: The mirror reflects back to you the feelings you have about yourself. It makes you immediately aware of where you are resisting and where you are open and flowing. It clearly shows you what thoughts you will need to change if you want to have a joyous,…Read more Ambient Soundbath Podcast #106 – The Mirror of Introspection

“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

The gift lies not in the receiving, but in the open embrace of kinship and connection.

Ritual dance. Solstice. Kaleidoscope of life Oranges and yellows of rebirth and renewal.

The rising wind scatters remnants of memories; forward to the breaking crest.
