Wild Muse Notes

Webbed Hand Records’s String Ambient Compilation focuses on string instruments, usually but not always treated to effects. I have two tracks on this recording, C plus A for the Djinnestan project and a track called Beltaine Frost recorded under the solo project name Oil of Haemony. The release page lists all of the participating artists and the specific instruments used in each track.

There is a last.fm page for String Ambient Compilation with a convenient audio stream of full individual tracks.

Paralalia from the Djinnestan recording called Hasenfeffer is a favorite of mine, The full track is available for streaming or download.

Rain 3 is the third Rain-themed longform ambient composition by Djinnestan. Perhaps still in a forest, but now at the banks of a stream, with wisps of fog, chirping crickets, the moon, and other mysterious nocturnal elements. This CD-length work creates a nice acoustic mood for meditation or sleep. It is recommended that you play it at low volume, as it is meant to be listened to peripherally, not directly.

Kittenhead is a long-form (CD-length) production by Djinnestan, departing significantly from the Rain series and Purr. In many ways, it defies easy categorization. It is very ambient, but contains rhythms. It is dark, yet at the same time whimsical. It includes acoustic instruments and vocals, but they have been processed virtually beyond recognition. Nonetheless it is a subtle and pleasant listen. Includes a brief sample from a talk given by U.G. Krishnamurti. Listen to an audio stream of Kittenhead or right click to download.
