Flow State - Laraaji
Today’s recommendation is brought to you by Chargeflow, an automated chargeback app for Shopify. If you have a Shopify store, sometimes you have to issue a refund – Chargeflow helps manage these disputes automatically so you don’t have to. Good morning. Today we’re listening to Laraaji, an American multi-instrumentalist and composer. We first recommended him back in December 2020, and Brian reminded us he’s due for a re-up. Laraaji was born in Philadelphia and studied piano and composition at Howard University. The first record he put out was Ambient 3: Day of Radiance, a 1980 collaboration with Brian Eno, on which Laraaji plays his signature zither. Don’t miss the two “meditation” tracks. Even earlier, in 1978, he recorded Celestial Vibration, two experimental 20-minute impromptus, which was recently reissued by Numero Group. Ambient 3: Day of Radiance - Laraaji & Brian Eno (50m, no vocals) Celestial Vibration - Laraaji (50m, no vocals but some noise in the first half of track one) Have a really nice Wednesday. |
