   About j - 1 (Benji Lee)







Some of my favourite friends:

solitude

Marie Neige - Voix passionnée et chanson pleine d'émotion mijotant.
app 1901 - Beautifully poised and full of shadow and mystery. Bewitching, beguiling.

music of the spheres

Apjiw - Optimistic melodies on a darker canvas that resonates deeper subconsious levels.
area - Ethereal electronic tones float in an azure sky as gentle, heavenly breezes sooth the troubled mind.
Adam Bowden - Pulsating, spacey, orchestrated, uplifting, mind-expanding themes that loop and build in an irresistible meditative rhythm.
Neu Gestalt - Multiple layers laid down in a syncopated groove.
Cloudbase 301 - Like a snowflake or Mandelbrot set--each piece branching effortlessly into multiple sonic universes in a continuous, unbroken stream of sound.
Dead Beat Project - Reflective, melancholic music with an uplifting trip-hop groove.
Aaron Marshall - Dark, complex and nuanced, yet minimalist enough to provide lots of empty space for the listener’s imagination to roam.

poetry

Benji Lee - Just a plug for myself...my piano page...my foundation.
Hidekazu Wakabayashi - Elegant, reflective, jazz-influenced piano with lots of internal space. Like falling snow.
stillness3 - Honest, stripped-down jazz with subtle depth and emotion.
Bruno Sanfilippo - Delicate ambient soundscapes that whisper to the soul; soft piano that connects effortlessly with the subconscious.

sunlight dancing on water

Pascow - Joyful guitar compositions that loop and drift effortlessly.
RF - Guitar/electronic/vocal arrangements that drift in a gentle, sweet groove of peaceful repose.
At Dead Horse PointGentle, reflective guitar. Peaceful and calming.
eerie days - Dreamy floating songs sung by an angel.
The dead sea - Waves of sound lapping on a beach, crashing on a reef, evoking a beauty as deep as the ocean.
tesis - Resonant, delicate, joyous music that washes across the senses.

inner space

Igneous Flame - Hanging, pulsating and breathing like a living organism, beautifully sculptured tones resonate through multiple dimensions of darkness and light.
peter james - Delicate melodic islands in a sea of subliminal, subtonal sound, sometimes light, sometimes dark, always consciousness altering.
Building the cathedral - Floats and resonates in a dreamy landscape.
Float Method - Resonates and vibrates with a cosmic harmonic. Eerie and majestic.

the mind in the cave

O C O S I - Dark, experimental, richly textured soundscapes with a primeval, organic quality.
BURMA PROJECT - Dark, brooding sublime compositions with subtle textual transitions.
GP~00 - Dark, brooding soundscape overlain with delicate, spacey guitar melodies.
Phaenon - Haunting soundscape full of dark energy and dark matter.

a glimpse at the soul

Inferious - Post-apocalyptic abstract soundscape, alternating between dark nihilism and carefree hope.
The Calendar Key Project - Mysterious, plaintive, original, and very beautiful songwriting.
Misera Cerdo - Melancholic classical piano melodies played against an abstract backdrop of rhythm and sound.
nine hopeless skies - Fragile et délicate, mais beaucoup de force. Comme une voix de la nuit, de la solitude, de l'électricité, de la pensée.
shea the man stays up late - transcendental musical journeys full of unusual tonal colour and texture.
The Honey Sacrifice - Takes you all the way from evening cocktails to the dark night of the soul and back again.
Unowis - Rich and complex yet minimalist character, with an open, abstract form that makes lots of connections. Somehow different each listen.
sudan - Waves of calm glowing with dark iridescence.

shaman

S P R I N G - Dark, menacing and a little psychedelic, with primeval beats, mazy guitar and reptilian vocals. Magical!
shanyio - Haunting and beautiful with lots of inner space.
Liquid Stranger - Limbic bass, earthy rhythms and liquid sounds.
Building castles out of matchsticks - Altered reality; mystical journey.
Gynorg - Dark, spacious, immersive.
elektronarkoz - Basse et rythme viscéral ; beaucoup de texture sous-tonale.
ecut - A master of rhythm and texture, taking the listener on a shamanistic, but distinctly urban, journey.

the terifying vastness of space

Mandible Chatter - Simmering and mysterious.
Sektionine - Wonderfully coordinated textures and tones. The ghost in the machine. The soul of the machine?

Dear friend
We are so happy to announce

NEW ALBUM IS OUT NOW!!!


Our new album "Herbarium" is out now on CdBaby (MP3 so far, physical CD is on its way).

Diverse palette of styles (post-rock, ambient, electronica, trip-hop, with elements of noise, dub, neoclassic and free improvisation), united by cinematic, slightly pensive mood.

«Herbarium» is called so because of heterogeneity of «songs», which can be compared to miscellaneous leaves in the album, still being belonged to the family of trees. Trying to avoid non-alive metaphors here, only thought of diversity and warm and innermost feeling that herbarium is capable to conjure up. «... This leaf I picked up in the park where I met her, and this - I sat by the river, contemplating...». So tracks were created – one was captured in some magic jam, another – recorded layer by layer and meticulously mixed then, next – cut from previous sessions and so on.

All compositions are united by Poostosh sense of music – mostly pensive, spatial, tender and experimental. There's a lot of soul and charisma in every leaf... So please let your soul look over our HERBARIUM.

Hey :)

Check it out! I wrote a free book on music production! It's for total beginners, but if you aren't new to music production, maybe you'll still learn something... at least you can send it to your friends who always want to ask you a billion questions about music production! It's free so...



To download, go to http://www. donimusic. com/musicproductionschool/

Keep on increasing that peace!

thanks. I have been playing a lot of guitar lately and it reminds me of when that is all I did, before I started recording.

thanks for the encouragement, have I sent you my work on "beyond shadow" yet?
