Flow State - T.R. Jordan
Welcome back to Flow State, the weekday instrumental music newsletter. We hand-pick our recommendations to score your workday and expand your musical horizons, in this age of algorithms. To get more music and support our work, upgrade to paid: Good morning. Today we’re listening to T.R. Jordan, an American ambient musician based in Washington, DC. Since 2020 he’s put out recordings of tender synth lines on tape loops, whose mechanical imperfections, jitters, and glitches appear on the final product. In 2022 he released Dwell Time, the first installment of a planned trilogy in this style. Last week he released Dwell Time II, the second installment. Both records practice interesting-yet-ignorable Enoistic ambience and lean into silence as a musical device. We look forward to the third installment. Dwell Time - T.R. Jordan (40m, no vocals) Dwell Time II - T.R. Jordan (40m, no vocals) We wish you a great start to your week. |
