DJHDD As a meditator (someone who practise meditation) I'm always on the lookout for quite, soft music with lots of open space. These "songs of praise" are to the wonderful drone that can be achieved by a sustained single note. All hail the great steel. Favorite track: Hymn #1.

about

Daniel Lanois calls his pedal steel his 'church in a suitcase', which is a poetic and apt description for such a beautifully, versatile instrument, with its own sacred and spiritual sound.

After yet another sleepless night, I got up before 3am, before even the dawn's life-affirming birdsong started, and created these two long-form tracks, as a means to help lessen the exponential, existential angst.
Both were made with my Sho-Bud Maverick pedal steel as the sole/soul instrument, which I've processed and manipulated into ethereal soundscapes; 'steel hymns', if you will.

I hope you'll find these to be a sonic-balm.

Thank you for listening!

Stay Safe.

Peace.

Richie.
