Have you wondered who decides the velocity of our daily life?

Does someone know the total amount of the time for us to spend for the job
which we can, should or try to complete throughout our life?

If he exists, can he calculate the rate of the time spent day by day?

Such a velocity of the life seems to be imprinted as a uniform one in our brain
through various types of media around us.

The imprinting would make us blind to the real sensation of the time,
We are just as insects caught in the "time web".

"Wake up, eat, work and sleep......"
Our daily life consists of such a cycle.

Not only the velocity, but also the frequency and the wavelength
allowed us to experience have been set in so narrow range in the superficial world.

Is that the reason why we tend to feel daily life so uncomfortable?
The velocity of the time for the cycle should not actually be just uniform.

In fact, we should have experienced various frequency and wavelength in our life.

Fortunately, however, we can sometimes figure out phenomena taking place with
completely different velocity, frequency and wavelength in our daily life.

Phenomena changing very slowly and gradually are attractive.

Imagine clouds flying in the sky,
and the velocity of clouds which is not uniform.

*

Clouds move so slowly in the sky.
Unusually slow, when we reflect our velocity in the life..

But, we do not doubt that the cloud velocity does actually exist in this world.

The sense of the velocity and the reality of cloud movement are carved in our memory.

The memory is stabilized in genes which our central nervous system involves.

Furthermore, such genes synchronize with other genes relating to velocity,
frequency and wavelength which are hidden on the surface of the world.

The other genes are sometime activated through the listening of music.

Jonathan Coleclough, as well as Andrew Chalk and Organum,
provides the music relating to such genes.

And here is an example.

**

Two tracks of music contained in this CD are
sound phenomena changing slowly, gradually and certainly.

The grand and authentic sounds recall us that unusual frequency and the wavelength
do exist actually in this world.
It simultaneously lights the hidden nature of the power.

One might name this type of power in sounds some "mystic" power.

But, the most appreciable point in these music is that
Jonathan makes such a power bloom in the atmosphere of daily life.

He seems to reveal the real power of frequency and wavelength
as the harvest in the music from the world.

Here, sounds of water flow and the conversation among people layered with
the grand drone do clearly figure how rich the real world is.
We meet the harvest of sounds.


Well, Jonathan's music has been called "awesome drone core".
It is an attractive naming.

But, the term "awesome" should be carefully used, I believe.

The term should not be used for placing the music at some specific place
where we can never easily reach.

Because, the power of his music is nearby us.
It is the reason why his music attracts us so much.


***

Jonathan expresses his acknowledgement to Andrew Chalk, Colin Potter,
Nick Arran, Louise Annable and Tim Hill, for the completion of this CD.

Especially, it would be so easy to find that the unique way by Andrew for the sensation
of changing time is shared in these music.

If these music attracted listeners, the CD "Sumac" published as a collaboration
between Jonathan and Andrew is recommended as the next choice.
