Awakenings: Meditative Drones From Wind Instruments

This minimalist composition was made entirely of acoustic orchestral and folk instruments, ranging from low brass to panpipes. This particular recording includes an introduction based on a single stereo track (the original minimalist piece) duplicating more of these tracks until the middle section has the same recording layered as many as six times at once; finally simplifying toward the ending section to create a dynamic arc: simple-moderate-complex-moderate-simple.

This thirty-minute process piece was rendered to a 32-bit file and mixed using the highest quality settings and mastered with dithering and multi-band dynamic compression. Final rendering used the highest bitrate and digital compression available in addition to reducing noise and high frequencies. The nature of the acoustically generated sounds are a great way to manifest energy that relates to earthing, authenticity, mindfulness, connection to nature, and being fully lucid.
