Notes

This week’s entry is going to be extremely short. I had a new intern join our team this week and I have had to do a lot of onboarding, and it has also been incredibly busy at the office because our event is just five weeks away now.

As such, I have not been listening to much music, and when I did need to enter bursts of focus or relaxation, I listened to Endel more than to music. However, when I did desire to listen to music, I was looking for something tonally meditative and musically contemplative, and stumbled upon Trance Frenz, a live improvised recording session between Ólafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm. 

Beyond that, TesserecT also just released their new album, War of Being, and it is a definitely a standout album with intense arrangements and polyrhythms, as well as virtuoso performances by all the musicians and vocal performers.
