BACKGROUND
If there's a theme here, the words organic, circular, dreamy, and exquisite all perhaps describe it. Track one comes from an album of beautiful sonic journeys and great musical depths; this piece is particularly rapturous and swirling. This is a truly diverse and engaging album. Gorgeous! Track 2 is taken from the Spanish Acuarela label's 3rd compilation called, 'Acuarela Songs 3.' It's by a band from Bloomington, Indiana, who produce mellow, sultry, luscious indie-folk; and despite it's slightly dark or melancholic edge, this piece is particularly blissful. Finally a track from the eclectic Spanish musician and composer, Pedro Estevan, and an album that melds traditions and centuries. Involving both contemporary and classical instrumentation. Particularly dreamy, this piece feels deeply rooted in the soul of many cultures.
