Are you familiar with the concept of "wabi-sabi"? From Wikipedia - "In traditional Japanese aesthetics, wabi-sabi (侘寂) is a world view centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of appreciating beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete" in nature.".

I feel this is a proper description of what you described there. The beauty in the imperfection, in the humanity, or in the nature, in the gaps, in the little hiss, in the beat that is not following a strict tempo, in the accidental gasp and sigh. This makes the unique moment so precious, and the creative process so beautiful in its impermanence and fragility.

I really like the movement from 5:00, it sounds like dolphins in the distant back. The hissy noise in the back contrasting with the crystal like quality of the guitar. Beautiful track.

Why does many guitarist still prefer noisy single coil pick ups?

Cause we love noise man!

Hiss is very "alive" on your track, not always the same intensity or tone, so it is allright!

Good job for the ambiance.

This is a great meditative experience. I think the white noise actually lends itself well to the soundscape, I mean hell, synth players tend to deliberately introduce white noise into their creations sometimes for that reason. Those really warm chords spaced measures apart at the end are delightful too.

I need to get me a telecaster so I create some cool gained-out feedback loops. It just occurred to me that maybe the reason why I've never been able to figure out how to do that is because I'm using a PRS with humbuckers haha.

as a ham radio enthusiast the hiss reminds me of playin' with my radio

- it really sounds perfect with the soul hissing -

beautiful dreamy piece

A. This track feels like I've tuned into the most calming numbers station in the world

B. It's cool that you have a real Pianet

C. Love the intermittent hiss

I listened to this and your previous week's track at work today for at least an hour. Dreamlike and perfect, both. This one I feel does something unique: it can sound ambient and background, like chimes when your focus is elsewhere -- or flow in its beautiful waves when the attention is present. I'm a huge fan of the noise and nothing about the noise here sounds like an imperfection: it's part of the flow, and makes the movement of the thing sound (for the lack of a better term) INEVITABLE. The build up around 4th minute is particularly stunning. I don't know if "downloaded" means anything, because I'm pretty sure I've downloaded your entire WB catalog (and need to start dipping into previous years whenever I can find the time -- this is a tough month work-wise, but I hope to be out of the current perpetual rush in July).

I was surprised as to how much I enjoyed this. Fills up the space nicely.

Wonderous things happening through here, as usual. Dreamy and idea provoking. Love the hiss, adds character.  I like how guitar became a trumpet, that's some magic. Love the idea of just playing unstructured and seeing what comes out, that's where the magic happens.

rad, the noise is like a wave or trampoline that everything else bobs and bounces on.

Thank you CosmicCairns. Nice comment.

no, I am not familiar with wabi-sabi. But this is what I was going for. Thank you for this information and your very nice commenting of the track.

Thank you sir. In this case the output of the electric piano made the main hissing.

Thank you very much. Your music is very OK even without the hiss. You do not need to change your gear.

Thank you. I wonder, if I can influence the weather.

You are very welcome. Thanks.

What a nice comment. I wish I could send you a best-of Q-Rosh mixtape. It is really fun to have a taperecorder and the source is analog. The entire WB catalog is really a monster challange. Thank you for listening and appreciating my music.

Thank you.

Thank you very very much.

Letting things happen was the plan. right.

wonderful description. thanks.

Whoa... love those beautiful bass notes dropping in at :30.  Great arrangement made even more powerful without the rhythm track.  Has a somber, melancholy. Very nice subdued brass melodies and synth sounds. The guitars sound like an orchestra.

There’s something really comforting in the layers of background noise here. This is the kind of atmosphere I often think of as a blanket of sound, because it wraps you up.

Love the sound of your guitars always.  The noise honestly just adds to the warmth and human feel that is def appreciated.  Those bassy guitar notes are so pleasing.  Your tracks really soak the listener in good feeling vibes.  I'd recommend anyone feeling overwhelmed and anxious to listen to your music to help ease their mind.  It totally works for me   Thank you

Totally embrace the imperfections.  I'm a big fan of that.  It creates a more organic and human feel to it I believe.  I also enjoy elements of noise too.  It can add warmth and nostalgia.

I love that term!  I've been learning Japanese for over 3 months now and I'm totally adding that into my vocab.  Arigato gozaimasu!
