Hypnotic and meditative!

Establishes a really beautiful vibe despite being so minimal, I like it!

Very satisfying to listen to.

Years ago there was a public radio program called "MindWebs", which featured readings of short stories of science and speculative fiction.  The opening theme was an experimental (for the 70s) electronic music composition with a pulsing heartbeat-ish rhythm accompanied by an incredible range of creative sound effects.  It wasn't like anything I had heard at the time, and despite its rhythmic structure it had an unsettling, alien quality that made it seem like anything could happen next.  It's weird to think that—despite electronic music basically dominating the popular culture for the last few decades—it's rare to hear anything that boldly inventive or adventurous.  But this track has that quality, and it's great to hear something like that again.

What a remarkably kind and thoughtful comment, thank you!

The WeeklyBeats and Jamuary overlap is going to result in some tracks that are fairly rough and raw, neither composed nor produced, simply picking the best jam from what emerges in a series of moments in a series of days. Sometimes I wonder about putting together something that is more... marketable? But the music I'm drawn to doesn't sound like that, neither my own nor that of others. It's reassuring to know that others enjoy the same.

And thank you everybody else, I appreciate these. I'll be listening to yours soon!
