Singing bowls are rising in popularity due to meditation becoming a more mainstream practice and I am here for it.

Tammy ReesePublished 3 years ago in BeatHow Circuit Bending Saved Me
For those of you unfamiliar with Circuit Bending, the general idea in a musical context goes like this: You buy a small consumer electronic with audio circuitry inside (a child's toy, a thrifted digital keyboard, or a guitar effect pedal).You crack open it's shell and play with its guts with wire, switches and solder until it makes a sound it was never intended to make.

The silence of the Musicians bedroom is rent by the loud ringing of an alarm clock. Swiftly she rises from the floor upon which her thin mattress lies, and smothers the sound with a delicate hand. The room is dim; the rays of the pale spring sun shine in to create a shaft of light in which shimmering dust dances.

At the time of Mac Miller’s untimely death, he was already deep into the recording of Circles; the now posthumously released album that acts as the follow-up to 2018’s Swimming.

The Lead Man’s Journal 5/14/22 New Orleans, Louisiana Congratulations little black Moleskine notebook - you just became the landing strip of the thoughts nobody else will hear, but must be expressed. Ever since I blacked out after the Mardi Gras concert two months ago, I’ve been poked and prodded by doctors, only for them to say it was all in my head. They told me to write, so I’m writing. Derrick, my manager is so obsessed with getting me right only because his job depends on me. Otherwise, I think he’d throw me to the wolves and get a brand new model. He still may. I’m the front man, so if I go, the band would have to have a complete overhaul. Rebranding, new merchandise, maybe even a new name. You think the bet’s worth the hand? Honestly, when I landed this gig, it was like winning the lottery to me. Now I feel like I’ve traded my life for a blur of an existence and a miser who’s in charge of my piggy bank.

The crowd lined around the block. Shaking and gleaming with joy. The smiling faces of hundreds of dreamers waited for the doors to open. This would be a moment they'd never forget. One day, they'd tell their children about the time they waited in line all morning to see them play live. They'll talk about driving hours to hear that one song they played over and over.
The Space Between Your Ears and Your Hands
I was playing the softest open roll I possibly could. Against the metronome of my mind I am playing quintuplets; lost inside the rattling of the springs beneath a snare drum, counting the shakes that subdivide each pulse in my hands. The notes move rapidly, but I can feel the silence between all of them.
TJ GhinderPublished 3 years ago in BeatSigns A Band Is Over
Everyone has their favourite bands. Some change all the time whilst others become long-term favourites. When I was younger, my favourites flatuated between Spice Girls, Sugababes, Atomic Kitten, Kaiser Chiefs and Busted. As I got older my tastes have changed and I have firm favourites like Depeche Mode and Nightwish. A lot of bands that I have loved have now split up. Sometimes it is hard, but necessary if there is tension between band members or if they want to go their own separate ways and do their own thing.
