It's Thursday. So naturally it's Wednesday Knudsen. His album Atrium. A wad of atmospheric ambient space. Like the orchestra warming up for Benjamin Britten's Young Person's Guide to The Orchestra. Like the new day dawning and us retreating to the shower or our morning bath to prepare ourselves for the coming day.
This is a beautiful record and I've returned to it all morning as I plan my classes and do my paperwork. Dot the 't's' and cross the 'i's' . Slip into gear like an athlete warming up and stretching their muscles taut before a cross country run or the Olympic 800 Meter Semi Final starting gum fires.
There's great beauty in music like this. Space. The important frontier. It takes its time and allows you to interpret it as you wish. But most of all it encourages positivity. The record is housed in a sleeve bedecked on an image of variegated light. The new day has dawned. Listen to this and start out right.
