Hello.

The first 11 days of January I’ve been listening to a few things, feeling my music and letting the sounds carry me to new spaces.

I found this new album, Ambient 23, from Moby (available on the streaming platforms). Which has been completely immersive and full of feeling for me. While I’ve focused less on the music itself, and more on my morning practice, routines, and creative explorations, I think that is the great blessing of the album. It integrates in a strange calm into the atmosphere into my start, and creates spaciousness.

On its release day marking a new year, Moby provided a bit more background on the two-and-a-half-hour-long album. It was “Made to help anxiety (my own, and hopefully yours, too),” he wrote on Instagram, alongside photos from his studio and a snippet of music from the album. “For 2023 may we all be less anxious (and may we all stop looking for validation from a culture we don’t respect…).”

Ambient 23 continues Moby’s series of ambient releases. “I presumptuously hope that if someone pays attention to the music/videos they’ll get something out of them, and I also hope that if someone just has the music/video playing quietly in the background that it will help create a feeling of calm and peace,” he said of the collection on his website.

I don’t have an agenda other than enjoyment, and sharing something that is bringing me a lot of peace and making space to experience my heart and mind a little more fully.
