G’nite, peeps! Take a thoughtful breath away from doomscrolling: Sylvius Leopoldo Weiss—Passacaglia in D, performed by the inimitable Jadran Duncumb.
Time stands still for 8 minutes, no drama. Radiant. Warm. Weiss.
And oh…that gentle ending. Sigh.

Could be crazy-making as an endless loop!
OTOH, you may be onto something. Listened to Aki Takahashi today and got an auditory flotation tank of the gentlest kind. Suspended between chordal shapes, nothing urgent about to happen, mind at rest. Feldman at bedtime—I’ll let you know how it goes!

I am so glad you’re appreciating his work — and thank you for the plethora of poets (is that a collective noun?!) you’ve shared. So many I didn’t know, such amazing poetry.

It is such an incredible piece! I am not sure if I am coordinated enough to bring my feet into playing to take up the organ. There is probably a reason uncoordinated me probably should have taken ballet lessons as a child! 😁
