i work a physically intensive job, so setting aside time to center myself and tend to my mobility is very important to me. that said, a surprising amount of work goes into finding the perfect backing track for these quiet moments of remediation, and andrĆ© 3000ās ānew blue sunā has been a haven for me since its release.
the lead melodies on its opening track incentivize thoughtful, intentional breathing, and encourage reflection in ways simple guided meditations simply canāt measure up to. on more than one occasion, i may or may not have been moved to tears by its ethereal cascades of emotion :ā)
when the talking heads over at headspace just canāt cut it, three stacks comes through ^_^
here are some other picks that put me in an ideal headspace to face the world, ever poised on the precipice of collapse:
ā¢ brian eno ā āmusic for airportsā
ā¢ hiroshi yoshimura ā āmusic for nine post cardsā
ā¢ adrianne lenker ā āinstrumentalsā
ā¢ floating points & pharoah sanders ā āpromisesā
i should do a playlist of theseā¦
