~

"My first day in China after two years away, I noticed a
strange round object on the table - not only in appearance,
but because it emitted musical notes, and my girlfriend literally
doesn't listen to music. Ever. Further inquiry revealed it was a handmade
version of a steel tongue drum, made by her uncle for her niece, in
the hopes that she would not only learn about music, but learn to love
it. Neither of those came to pass.

But what remained was an object whose sounds I couldn't
stop listening to. And couldn't stop speaking to me. That
afternoon, I spent a half hour completely detached from the world
while I randomly tapped its various notes, until reality called again.

As it always does.

I knew I would need to do something more with that drum - not only
for myself, but for its creator and creation. One morning, I sat down in my studio,

the torrential rain outside nearly deafening through the open window, and
let myself go. In the drum. In its sound and intent. In the rain
that seemed it would never end. As I thought about all that had
brought me back to the place where we existed together.

About the life I had left but always wanted back - and all the joys and
perils that come with wishes coming true.

Recorded uninterrupted, live over 73 minutes, the session was then
played back the same evening for the live electronic session that unfolded over it...
one comprised of an infinite number of movements, from slight to
sprawling, all bathed in a quiet restraint unlike any of my other
work. Perhaps the result of its intent being about something bigger
than myself. Perhaps an unintentionally pure example of one loneliness
exchanged for another in my strange form of coming home. Perhaps an
unconscious show of humility in the face of life and the world.

Or, perhaps, a contemplation on the true depth of rain it seemed would never end." - Brock Van Wey

The Fact Of Being Sankt Koloman, Austria

A place for a peaceful ambient and new-age, space drones and meditative sound practice, healing music for mind and soul, dreamy sounds for the seaside sun.
Eternal light and rest in the dark of night. What's happens right now? Where we are right now? We always can hear the endless voice of the Fact of Being. ... more
