Drift

Snow drifts, and sand. Rain drifts in windblown curtains. A 15Hz beat, a loop meandering around hidden foci. A drift adrift.

Art from fire, molten flares. For the Green Man. Analysis failed to pinpoint a binaural beat this time, but the target was 11Hz. Refinements will be made. It's all banjo, folks. All banjo.

More housekeeping: For those who stream this podcast, there may have been problems with Honey Spot. These issues have been resolved and the bad link replaced. Please check it out again if you haven't already.

Honey Spot

On a banjo, the honey spot is where a player places his or her right hand to evoke the most mellow tone. But the placement is unique to each instrument, the degree of desire unique to each player. Consider this an auroscope, an invitation to seek life's honey spots. The beat is 7Hz. It's another mellow, lengthy meditation which dips into musical structures without becoming strictly definable as music. Use headphones. Close your eyes. Enjoy.

Parabola

A return to first principles, with respect to what's been accomplished. Not simply a drone, not fully a song. A 5Hz beat and a real trance inducer - turn the volume down and let the beat work.

Housekeeping note: Sorry for the delay this week - thanks for being patient. Server maintenance at the Internet Archive resulted in upload issues, but it all works out. I feel nothing but gratitude for their hard work. Thanks to them all.

Mythos

A 4Hz beat and a guest this week: The cello, nearest of all instruments to the timbre of the human voice. The vibe? Motifs, argument, ascension. A lock step rhythm necessarily devolving into a shuffle. Then, a momentary lull, a false start, the peace of the vanquished. Finally, rhythm returned; acceptance, union, unity. Peace indeed. Thanks to Amy for the cello riff.
