June, the month that holds the World Music Day.
June, idyllic summer and slow time.
June has to be experienced with music. And so it was. A post that changed what i listen to this month and it has been an awesome month after that. The post was Minimalist Music: Where to Start.
The one song that stuck with me, that has been in my playlist with infinite loop is Arvo Part's Spiegel im Spiegel
It has to be experienced with eyes closed. It is amazing how a song evokes emotions. This is a song that i would experience when i accept my dejection, i am content with my sadness; that the worst is over and i am ok with what survives. Three piano strokes and violin. Simplicity.
From the same link, i discovered another magical person - Ludovino Einaudi . Surprisingly youtube has full albums by him. Don't worry, i am not a freeloader, I am going to buy them all when they are available in India. (Most of the sites say they are out of stock).
First, you have to begin with Divenire.
Then, there is his recording of his performance at Royal Concert hall -
