There was mist on the visor. I weathered the cold, brought my bloated and padded palm to my face and tried to wipe it off. To no avail, I realized that me breathing down hard was condensating against the frosty winter morning. I carelessly tilted it up, and I could breathe and see clearly, the gushing wind constantly reminding me to pull over for a cigarette, for any reprieve against the biting cold. It's been several months since I started the ride. I don't remember much before it, nor the motive for it. Just a hazy memory of me getting up one day from a cosy comfy bed and going out. I think that was the day, I have trouble remembering most of the time. But I think that was the one, since I haven't had the luxury of a bed in quite a while. I wonder, from time to time, what kind of person I was before all this. But the arsenic in the air hurts my temple, and the pain keeps my curiosity at bay. Was I one among the few lost souls that I've passed by over the days, living in constant fear and animosity? I only stop for gas, food and sleep. But I made an exception. I pulled over by the side of the road and around me was a valley of unexploded shells and ordinances and cold splintering steel corroding, where white rose meadows once were. A quick stop and I move out, I thought to myself. Today has been quiet and serene. But before long, the shelling would resume and the world would grow louder.
vivid memory of this album is that I listened to it during my (I think) final exams at school before I graduated. something about it was perfect and I did pretty well so thanks cloudkicker very cool katsumashi
Your music connects on every level, whether it’s physical, emotional or spiritual. Impressive musicianship and song writing. Love how you leave this undefined space for us listeners to draw our own images and blend in our own personal lives when listening. Beacons is one of my favorite albums of all time! olaussem
Ten gorgeous compositions from Iceland’s Gísli Gunnarsson that ride the line between ambient & modern classical. Breathtaking. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 25, 2023
i like the Rick Beato videos and he had shown the track electric sunrise in his video "How To Count Odd Meters". I was very impressed from this song and searched for the whole album and found it at bandcamp ;-) hpaydt
