The image features a serene landscape with soft mountains in the background under a clear sky. Overlaying the scene is a poetic quote about returning and departing swallows, along with credits for the haiku and photographer. A swallow is seen flying in the foreground

The image shows a snowy landscape with a frozen body of water. The sky is overcast with a pale gray hue, and snowflakes are gently falling. In the center of the image, there is an area of the ice that appears to be partially melted, revealing darker water beneath. In the foreground, there are snow-covered rocks, and several thin, barren trees with no leaves. The scene conveys a cold, wintry atmosphere with the predominant colors being various shades of white, gray, and muted browns.

I released a new album of instrumental music featuring nature sounds and calming loops. It is available to stream on most platforms and you can download it on Bandcamp. Pay what you want or nothing at all.

In 2022, I released a 5-song EP titled "Somewhere" inspired by a #minimalhouse playlist I was listening to. Then I released a song titled "Curious" in a 3-song single. This mix brings the two releases together.

On this #bandcampfriday, I'm releasing a set of ambient tracks I performed during a yoga class last night for my first SOLO live performance EVER! These are re-worked versions of tracks I made for the #NaviarHaiku Challenge, #DisquietJunto and #WeeklyBeats.

One of the many things I like about my day job is that we have a Volunteer Day, where each employee is given a paid day off to volunteer. I am volunteering with the Detroit Sound Conservancy, a community-based archive dedicated to preserving, activating, and celebrating Detroit’s musical heritage.

Second Snow Disquiet0694 More on the 694th weekly Disquiet Junto project, 5/4ify — The Assignment: Add a beat to a pre-existing piece of music — at https://disquiet.com/0694/

This #DisquietJunto prompt was to take an existing track in 4/4 and change it to 5/4. I participated in #WeeklyBeats in 2024 and really liked the tracks I made in odd time at the end of the year, so I went back to Week 1 and changed it from 4/4 to 5/4. on.soundcloud.com/QU4oFPKXf72W... #Disquiet0694
