Today is another classic example of letting things be. For the first few days of the week my thoughts were looking for a subject to write about. Nothing arrived and I quickly stopped this process. Instead of chasing thought after thought, I trusted something would show up. In other words, I let things unfold naturally. […]
Syntropic Sunday #9
No music today. The music is in the silence between the sound. Or something like that. Whatever. No music today. I came across an awesome little analogy about our experiences beyond the physical world. “In a mother’s womb were two babies. One asked the other: “Do you believe in life after delivery?” The other replied, […]
Syntropic Sunday #8
For all you hipsters out there, today a slightly hipper song than usual. You know a musician is good when their cover is better than the original. In this case, I imagine it wasn’t particularly difficult to do a better job than Gwen Stefani. While you are at it, also check out Kasabian’s acoustic song. All of […]

Yann Tiersen, do you know him? The usual answer is “nope”. Do you know Amélie, the movie? The answer is usually yes. Well, the music in Amélie is composed by Yann Tiersen.

Anyways, if you are already familiar with Bon Iver that is awesome. More reason to enjoy their lesser known Take Away Show. For the second half […]
Syntropic Sunday #2
It is funny how the body and mind adjust to different environments. Here it feels cold, with 18 degrees (Celsius!). Back home this would be a decent summer day. In that light I want to show you a great re-composition of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. This particular composition is put together by Max Richter (you might […]
Syntropic Sunday #1
Welcome to the first Syntropic Sunday… ever… Sit back, relax and enjoy the show. We will start off with one of my alltime favorite composers, Ludovico Einaudi, with his most recent album In a Time Lapse . Definately a bit mainstream, but also definetely Syntropic. Get his album on iTunes or Amazon. While you are listening to that […]
