New string composition and full length album of this material coming soon. 🌝

I can’t believe I’m actually saying this. My first single ever, Noctolucent Glow, is out today. I feel electric. I feel emotional. I feel like I’m dreaming and wide awake at the same time. This all began with my son Donovan, who became completely obsessed with clouds. He would make us stop everything just to take photos of them. He was fascinated by how they change, how they disappear, how nothing lasts. He kept reminding me in his own way to be present, to capture the moment, to feel it while it’s here. At the same time, I had just finished writing my book Tapping Into the Akasha, and I had completed a music production program through Berklee College of Music. I was thinking deeply about sound and energy and memory. I wanted to create something you could feel as much as hear. Something that holds a moment the way light lives inside a photograph. Clouds kept calling me back. I went into @tiny.telephone with @ssspacemoth and we started experimenting in the most intuitive, playful way. Asking what does a cloud sound like. What does it feel like when something appears and dissolves. Trying to translate that into music. Around that same time, I became completely obsessed with ambient music (it’s so rebellious!) and I found @erasedtapesrecords . I had the honor of interviewing @masayoshifujitavibraphone on my podcast and I was already deeply in love with his work. Through that world, I discovered @david.allred and instantly connected to his sound. When I shared this idea with David, he didn’t just understand it, he expanded it. He added so much texture and color to the track, shaping it into something dimensional and alive. And Masayoshi brought this grounding presence that ignites the imagination. I am so humbled and honored to share this track with so many geniuses. This is a dream collaboration for me. Truly. I can’t believe I’m even typing these words. This project became something far beyond what I imagined. It feels like a captured moment. A living one. It is out now. It is real. You know where to find it. I can’t wait for you to hear it. 🤍 Photos 2, 5, 6, & 7 by @gingerfphotography

Hello friend, here’s something new. There’s a wide range of new music on the way and I’m really looking forward to sharing it with you soon. Also, I haven’t played a show of my music in 6 years and am interested to return to playing live sometime. If you are a booking agent or an artist that is interested in setting something up together, I’d love to hear from you. Thanks and take good care. See you later! #original #piano #foryou #instagram

Look what I found

My new orchestral album Mysteries of Love Held Close is out now! A friend recently pointed out that this is my 21st album which is pretty surreal. I have a huge appreciation for orchestral music and while I personally don’t have access to an orchestra, I essentially became my own orchestra by layering hundreds upon hundreds of strings all by myself over the course of several months, and the result is now available on all the places where music can be found. Music written in dedication to interesting familial dynamics, loved ones and chosen family. I poured a great deal of time and love into this music and I hope it finds you well. Big love from Portland, Oregon! 🎶✨ Music envisioned, performed and captured by David Allred Vinyl pressed by Audio Geography Released by Mandatory Book Club Published by Erased Tapes Music
