This came on while I was on the subway. The repetitive tones washed over me like waves and I found myself staring. I took in the space around me completely but also started to go deeper inward. A common thing people say about New York is that it can be a very lonely city. You’re surrounded by people and yet sometimes you feel so invisible. I enjoy my solitude, but this track—10 minutes long, ambient and totally unexpected—made me sit with that feeling and examine it without judgement. The very act of listening to such a unique and profound piece of music on headphones is lonely. By definition. It reminded me that music is not just a thing to enjoy but something that can move you and guide you deeper. You probably have to be in the mood. It came on for me at the right time. But if you have the patience and need a moment to yourself to think and more importantly, feel, this track is for you. See what comes up

I found this album the other day and it feels so sacred to me that I almost don’t want to share it with anyone, but……check it out… Italian avant-garde ambient realness. Your ears need this! singular! hidden gem! overlooked! I have been pairing my listening with open windows so that the cicadas’ songs in Tennessee are in harmony and it is bringing me so much peace.

For me, this album epitomizes "shut your brain off and let everything flow around you"

a study issued last month found that dancing is the most effective way of treating and mitigating depression. Walking, therapy, and yoga also outpaced SSRIs. and if you're saying 'oh this was probably funded by Big Dance', there's no evidence of that and if you're saying 'that's just what a Big Dance shill would say', well honey you're right
