Thanks for indulging me here (yet again).

My new album, The Secret Garden, was released today on Bandcamp and the major streaming services. Stylistically, it’s similar to my prior releases, with jazz-inspired melodic and percussive improvisations layered over ambient soundscapes. Thanks for taking a listen! —Alan

Reposted the title track.
28 days ago... My feed is too much...I was thinking of creating a new account, minimal, focussed. It's just too laborious to manage the Following list. Sometimes I remove one or two - that I seem to have added while I was asleep, but...

Hey, this is high quality! Not a music buyer anymore but you just got another follower on AMZN Music. Kyuujoushou is the first I clicked on and I already dig it.

Listening on Apple Music at 24b/44.1kHz and it sounds amazing. The deep bass percussion that moves in around 5:30 of the title track was awesome. Love the style and peacefulness. Your music allows my mind to wander in a tranquil exploration of thoughts. I'll be honest, though, I was a bit reluctant to play "Song of the Cicada", as I had about enough of those little buggers this summer. To my great relief, it was just as pleasant and enjoyable as the rest of the songs on your album.

I'm a fan. Thanks for sharing your talents!

Thanks so much for the kind words. I’m glad you enjoyed the album!

That‘s funny about the Cicadas. I’ve heard they can be quite a nuisance, but I’ve never experienced it first hand. I’m glad to hear the track didn‘t cause any anxiety! :)

I posted some katydids, cicadas, and crickets I recorded on my front porch maybe like 5 years ago. The recording sounds pretty loud. Well a good sound level meter showed 90-95 db so they can be loud.

Wow, 90-95 db! That’s crazy!

"Song of the Cicada", as I had about enough of those little buggers this summer.
I use those little buggers for fishing. They work excellent. Use with a heavy float and a 4-5 foot leader and cast it as far out as you can and then sit and wait. For extra effect I use a modded Royal Wulff fly in mostly brown and gray coloration with the cicada on the hook too. That brings in the 5 pounders+. :D

@acbarn that's some tasty music and sounds. I use headphones although I can guess as per how that would sound on a big stereo with the imaging and nature sounds. :D

Took a listen, not something I'd probably return to but I do wish you the best of luck with your release!
