A quiet song that I love, and a loud song that I love: In college, I developed a steady rotation of quiet songs that didn’t distract me while I was studying. Artists such as Tycho and Washed Out were some of my favorites.Recently, I’ve been into Floating Points, the moniker for Samuel Shepherd, a British electronic-music producer. I could recommend his Late Night Tales album or Elaenia, but the one that stands out most to me is his collaborative album, Promises, featuring the saxophonist Pharoah Sanders and the London Symphony Orchestra. It’s a gorgeous, layered work that’s best listened to all the way through—but if you’re pressed for time, “Movement 6” is an exceptional track.

Ah this! I‘m totally spellbound. Came home from a ‚shipwreck‘ Nordic walking tour, meteo promised rain only much later and within 2‘ it came down in buckets. Some wisely took an umbrella but I returned home, soaked to the skin, undressed in the bath, threw everything in the (lucky for me, as I am renting) washing machine, and I‘m sitting down with an excellent espresso to find this! Fabulous. Reminded me of my ‚motherly wish‘ that my son would – some day – learn to play the sax because that‘s one cool instrument….. Mummy thought then, listening to Baroque music and singing, with her unborn baby warmly enveloped in her growing body, that her child surely would ‚inherit‘ a love for music, for playing an instrument, for singing….. none of which happened…. So I took this just for me now, many years later, and I shall search for more of this on the internet. Thanks for sharing those little treasures, much obliged.
(And now hanging up the washing!)
So glad you enjoyed it Kiki. Thanks for letting me know.
this is lovely music, music to fall asleep or to relax to, or to get a massage to, and now I’m relaxed but had better ramp up to head out the door to a loud day of the kinder. ty for this treat, I will come back to it –
Wow, Dave – talk about transportive…One can’t listen without slowed breathing, closed eyes and truly letting the mind float – gorgeous
Agree Mimi. I had exactly the same reaction. Thanks for letting me know.
Played this for my students while they were working on their “Question of the Day” (Fancy title for writing). Perfect! Thank you for sharing.
Very good!
Very nice.
Agree Anneli
My dad played the sax. I am always drawn to its floating flow. Thank you for sharing…
Must have been beautiful music to be surrounded by as a child. Thanks for sharing Carrie.
Thank you for the gifting me some time, floating, drifting in the beauty…
So glad!!!!!
