I've been living with this track for a while - it's beautiful - and a really good fit for the Music to Fly With Confidence playlist too! It's one of those tracks that quietly seeps into your consciousness and has you going back to listen again and again.
It's the simplicity that I love - the instrumentation - the gently held back performance - there's no rush in fact, it's so beautifully held back you almost tip over trying to get to the one.
For me this is one of the pieces that I might put on when I need to change my headspace - when I need to clear my mind of all the other malarkey going on around me. When I have to write and there's a million other thoughts competing for attention- this track is my shield - my meditative armor.
Take it out for spin - put it on - take a few deep breaths - clear your workstation - pick up your pen or open your document and start writing, just like I did...

About the Curator: Andrew McCluskey
The first visual memory I have is that of the white upright piano in Singapore, Hell and the dark forces lived at the bottom, Heaven and the Angels at the top. They would play battles through my fingers and I was hooked.
Although I've always played, I haven't always been a musician. Most of my twenties were spent working with people, buying and selling and learning how the world works. It was in my thirties that I came to America and focused on music and began to develop music2work2.

But as I’ve moved from ideation to manifestation, the energy of the playlist needed to change – solo piano is good for thinking – but 8 minutes of 130 bpm edm is great for getting things down

So if you’ve been listening to the playlist recently you know what’s coming. Last week’s track was all about setting the intent for change – away from the more relaxing ideation space of solo instrumentation to this week’s electronic track from Cristoph, Yotto and Sansa.

I’ve known for a while that the feel of the list was going to change – while piano instrumentals are perfect for reflection and ideation – at some point you need some energetic input to get your fingers moving.
