Flow State - Saapato
Welcome back to Flow State. We share interesting instrumental music every weekday. You’re on the free tier. The paid tier gets you the daily Spotify playlist, unlocks the Tuesday mix, and keeps us going. You can upgrade to paid here. Good morning. Today we’re listening to Saapato, an Ambient ambient music producer and multi-instrumentalist based in upstate New York. His music finds harmonies between field recordings of natural surroundings and synths both scintillating and subdued. The effect is meditative and transportive, almost instantly mood-shifting. On Friday he released a new album, On Fire Island, which originated in an arts residency on that island with the National Parks Service (more on those residencies here). We’re also playing his 2023 record, Somewhere Else, whose sound is slightly more distorted or resonant, and time of day more crepuscular. On Fire Island - Saapato (50m, no vocals) Somewhere Else - Saapato (40m, no vocals) We wish you a great start to your week. |
