Introducing egolessriver

I am sharing this very special project with you, asking for your feedback.

When you have 25 minutes to spare and are ready to slow right down, I invite you to listen to this special kind of ambient music. If you click on the title, you can read a complete program note to the track. Or just sit back and take it in without explanation…or use as background music for meditation or yoga.

Whether your life is hectic and worrisome, or laid back, or anything in between, I encourage you to listen on headphones, or alone in a room with loudspeakers. A non-judgemental atmosphere is crucial. You shouldn’t expect anything from the listening.

Whether you empty your mind while you listen, and leave your ego behind, or passively allow your worries or thoughts to enter your field of your perception, the critical thing is not to become obsessed by anything. Allow the music to build and transform.

Please let me know your thoughts in the comments.

My closing message.

This publication is directed to fans of my music. (Broadcasters get email from a different list.) All subscriptions are currently free. I am not offering paid subscriptions at this time, but you can offer a pledge of support, which would come into effect if I enable paid subscriptions. I will message everyone before I do so, giving you a chance to reconsider. The button below opens a page to upgrade from free to a pledge.

Please share my publication with others. When you share, you get free albums.

I invite you to support my music by purchasing tracks or albums from my music site on Bandcamp. My greatest reward is when people listen to and buy my music. I get 85% of each sale on Bandcamp, by far the best return for musicians anywhere. Your album purchase pays me more than the equivalent of 10,000+ streams on those big corporations’ platforms.

Thanks for reading and listening.

John Oliver
