about

Languid meanderings. Imbued with mystery. These soundscapes invoke an auric sheath of calm and alas! a much needed resting point from this fast-paced world. Grateful, I am, to be bring and share music that is a soothing cocktail for the overloaded inputs. A relief from the chaos of crazymind… an aural balm for the frazzled pieces… a sound buffer for enhanced ambience. I do this and I am glad and I LOVE the sound!! I am honored to sculpt these into a useful and healing medicine for you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A brief history and links to my older projects on Youtube and Bandcamp;

Deeply in love with music and starting early on with oboe, at 17, I began studying jazz and classical piano and soon joined an award-winning big band. In 1980 I was adding a Yamaha CS-01 monophonic Breath Controller synth plus a Boss digital delay and electric piano and played with reggae and funk bands on the Southside of Chicago and Dallas. I then began morphing into a rock vocalist writing many songs, sometimes on guitar and always tending toward a fusion of improvisation with a pop sensibility. Not so comfortable with the limelight and embracing my love of percussion, I began performing in some world/ambient ensembles ( youtu.be/jzrDfQ3inRw?t=2425 and youtu.be/jzrDfQ3inRw?t=1067 ) . In 2005, inspired by all styles of ecstatic dance music, I set out to learn Ableton Live sequencing and developed a live-looping dub-inspired controller setup ( youtu.be/WJJ68OZ2ngc?t=224 ) elevating the ambient improvs with electronic beats. (serendeepharbin.bandcamp.com/album/sublingual ). My dance beats on Soundcloud and Myspace have been recently removed as to wipe clean from the past; in 2014 I had to stop all music making and exposure to normal daily sounds due to the onset of hyperacusis (an extreme hypersensitivity to most sounds where everything feels 20x louder!!). By grace, as Hipnotic Earth, I was able to start playing and recording again at super-low volumes with soft ambient sounds and colors. Surprisingly, this constrictive set of parameters helped me to actually focus my creativity and I was soon completing and releasing albums after a lifetime of fubbing about! I am very grateful to be playing music at all and am viscerally and deeply aware how these ambient sounds save my sanity and my peace of mind. I hope these sounds help you, too! - Cosmos

Lovely and spacious sounds balanced with a disquieting atmosphere. An excellent suite that uses ambient music not just to calm the listener, but to transport them into an epic, sweeping storm. alec critten

The cover art inspired me to go alone in the park, lay down under a big tree, and get immersed in this ethereal ambient, watching the cloudy cold sky through its late november naked branches. And yes, the soundscape seems bigger than if listened in the living room. BVCVLEI
