So We Won’t Forget – Khruangbin

Of course I had to add a Khruangbin track. And this one is my ultimate favorite. The percussion, instruments, and vocals– it’s a track that has to be in the soundtrack of my life.

Lonely Dream – Drunken Kong Remix – The Archer, Drunken Kong

But as I’ve moved from ideation to manifestation, the energy of the playlist needed to change – solo piano is good for thinking – but 8 minutes of 130 bpm edm is great for getting things down

Out Of Reach – Cristoph, Yotto, Sansa

So if you’ve been listening to the playlist recently you know what’s coming.  Last week’s track was all about setting the intent for change – away from the more relaxing ideation space of solo instrumentation to this week’s electronic track from Cristoph, Yotto and Sansa.

Nå – Albør Åtte

Today is a good day – a good day for being alive – a good day for remembering that we are not ephemeral creatures – we’re not goldfish – a day to remember how good past experiences were by experiencing them again.

Through the Glass – Isle’r

If you’ve gone to the trouble to create space for an idea to land – you may as well create an environment that will facilitate their capture.

To do this – you need movement.
