Nature has its own rhythms — the rustle of leaves, the call of a bird, the ripple of water. When music is added thoughtfully, it doesn’t overwhelm these sounds but deepens our connection to them. Few instruments achieve this as gracefully as the piano . Its tones mirror the pulse of rivers, the rise and fall of wind, the spaciousness of open skies. Pairing piano with nature films has become a growing practice in mindful media. Short, quiet clips with improvised music can transform a passing moment into something almost meditative. 🐞 Bug’s Eye View Filmed in the East Sussex countryside, Bug’s Eye View is a weekly series of 60-second eco-aware shorts accompanied by improvised piano. From goats and chickens to damsel flies and froglets, each clip captures fleeting glimpses of rural life, designed as mindful “breathing spaces” for families and creatives worldwide. 🎼 The Science of Sound and Calm Studies show that slow, improvised piano can lower stress levels and support focus. ...

Mr Capricious   I saw you in the light A warm and velvet rush You were poetry in flight I don’t know where you came from You lit the darkness bright You were fire in the night Somewhere in the future I saw a memory in time You were danger in plain sight I’ll make a deal with you my friend Heaven sublime until the very end Chorus They call you Mr Capricious   But you’re delectable and  Oh so delicious  But you won’t hear crying in a wild wind You won’t hear him lying in a wild wind And we won’t hear you dying in the wild winds ©2024 Sarnia de la Maré Mr Capricious: Sound, Storm, and Survival The new track Mr Capricious from iServalan is a work that resists traditional boundaries. Conceived first at the piano as a raw improvisation, the piece flows like a storm—unpredictable, dangerous, and strangely beautiful. The piano accompaniment, later transcribed from an unscored improvisation , reveals an artist who rejects rigid verse–chorus grids. Instead, the score...

Why Musicians Are Mad as Hell at Streaming—and What They Can Do About It Streaming platforms turned up the volume on music access—but turned down the volume on musicians getting paid. The costs? Real. The capitalists? Realer. It’s time to flip the script. 1. Streaming Isn’t Saving Us—It’s Leaving Us Broke Big-name artists like Björk have spilt the truth: Spotify is “probably the worst thing that has happened to musicians,” she said—complaining about relentless touring, low pay, and the forced rush of putting out music to keep up the algorithm cycle ( The New Yorker , DJ Mag ). Across the pond in the U.S., Taylor Swift and Snoop Dogg have similarly blasted Spotify for dimes-per-stream pay—Swift once pulled her catalog; Snoop estimates $45,000 for 1 billion streams ( Houston Chronicle ). 2. Algorithms Favor the Famous—and Bury the Underground The fix ain’t fair. Playlists flood every screen with the same big names, leaving the new and underground grinding for scraps. The Guard...

  📜 Lyrics: Minor Matter – Tale Teller Club A transmission from the Immersion Archives. Words written against the Machine, set to sound and vision. I'm just minor matter That is what I am Someone's passive income Getting what they can I'm climbing sand dunes daily Slippery ice under my feet The Machine watches on And feeds off my defeat We are minor matter The seeds we sow and scatter Grow weeds upon The streets of liberty The machine has taken you And now it's come for you The machine don't care It's love's despair It loves despair It's stealing time like You wouldn't know An atomic bomb that's gonna blow The hearts of children In the poppy fields The machine grew up And stole their dreams 🔗 Listen on Bandcamp | 🎨 Collect the Artwork | 🌌 Enter the Fan Vault Minor Matter Birth of Adom iSer...
