Invisible Gift

"What can be known of what a life is carrier for? All passing through, sustaining, passing on. What will remain?"

Secret In The Heart
2022
“A cinematic, new-age score. Secret In The Heart documents the first two meetings of violinist Zachary Paul and musician/producer Nick Podgurski. Podgurski joins Paul with an assortment of synthesizers and ambient pads. Wielding stillness gracefully; it is somber, hopeful, and alive. Paradoxical movement between mood and perception permeates the silence.
Composed and arranged from two sessions in the winter of 2021.
Secret In The Heart conjures touchstones in the work of the late Mark Hollis, RyuichiSakamoto + Alva Noto's Soundtrack to The Revenant, Arvo Part, and Angelo Badalamenti’s collaboration with David Lynch. “
(from the press release)
Night Prayer
2022
Night Prayer is deep drone for moments of the dimming day. Dry heat, mirage, and the illusory fingers of evening’s shadow gather and smear the energies of the waking world for reconstitution in another place. The atmosphere changes. The coolness of the air on our skin. Something new is forming.
Fourth Field
2022
I am sitting in snow and cold dreaming of the cold coastal cliffs in the rain. This elemental severity and compassion for what receives it is the theme of this release. Heaving, weighty, elemental. Heavy ambient drone.
”For the world that abounds yet so rarely makes its way through; coming into contact with our understanding. Unparalleled brightness like sea-cliff-sun-in-rain. Realizing space; filling it.”
First Snow
2021
Deep drone suited to the stillness of snow and the most profound hours of night. A late-coming Winter's Solstice soundtrack. Monolithic.
