So while the Vessels one by one were speaking
.
Up from Earth’s Centre through the Seventh Gate
rose, and on the Throne of Saturn sate;
And many a Knot unravel’d by the Road;
But not the Master-knot of Human Fate.
- Omar Khayyam, The Rubaiyat (XXXI)

note: Amusing little list. I poached from a bigger list originally made for listening while your head is seeing purple haze and going psychadelic. (There was a conversation about this somewhere on the net. really. ) I made it smaller with prettier songs, more listenable and amusing. It’s been awhile since I made a list I really want to listen for long period, so this is it. Soft with various small scattered textures and words. The ECM‘s and Bill Evans are heavenly. I thought it might be good for traveling, but I think it’s too delicate. I doubt most of these songs can survive anywhere but quiet room and high quality speaker. (car, plane, train, noise reduction headphone, stuffy ears simply aren’t music friendly.) But I am picky. I’ll do another variation on this purple haze theme for fun. Buy Bill Evans‘ Waltz for Debby. It’s a must have. -sq.

Arja Kastinen:
The first Kantele doctor in Finland
The Kantele player Arja Kastinen (b. 1963) is the first Finnish folk musician, who has made the Doctor of Music examination in the artistic study programme at the Sibelius Academy.
The degree included five concerts during the years 1997-2000 with 9, 14 and 15-string kantele. All the concerts were solo concerts and pieces composed by Kastinen. The theme of the concerts was “Music based on the ideology and the acoustical phenomena of the kantele in the Karelian kantele improvisation”. As a part of the doctor’s degree Kastinen has also publish a research “An acoustical investigation of a 15-string kantele”.
Arja Kastinen is of the new generation of kantele players. Her latest reocord is a collaboration with Virpi Forsberg, a brilliant and entrancing improvisational work for kantele and goat’s horn. (Vita (1999).
Perfect! Please do create a sequel to this list. I love it, so elegant and trippy.

evans’s music sounds so elegant
nice
Lovely playlist sq. I’ve got to agree it’s very elegant and hazy.
I was just checking the popular tracks on hypem and was pleasantly surprised to see Anouar Brahem on the top 10. I think it’s one of the most unusual and amazing tracks to grace the top 10 in months.
oops, meant to post on this one.
jsst looking for the “unpoached” edition
