Ended Monday and welcomed Tuesday after a swim with Reading, Sleeping by Blue Lake, self-released on cassette in 2021.

Reading and sleeping are two of my favourite activities, although I don't manage to do enough of either.

"In between children and working and making food and everything else, some time each day playing music. Mostly played on one of the home-made zithers I have been making over the last couple of years."

Die Zither: Es braucht nur 3 Hände | Zithersound

Auf all unseren Fotos und Videos seht ihr das Instrument, das jeden von uns dreien seit Jahren gefesselt hat. Auch wenn wir teilweise andere Instrumente als Kinder gelernt haben oder auch jetzt noch spielen, ist dieses eine Instrument doch etwas Besonders. Doch was macht die Zither so besonders?

Zithersound

Ended the weekend and started the week with Moving by Blue Lake, self-released in 2020.

Jason Dungan aka Blue Lake wrote on Bandcamp:

"The LP was recorded in two spaces during winter and summer 2019 - a basement studio in Copenhagen and some indoor and outdoor spaces in the Swedish forest.

During this period I had been building some multi-stringed instruments, loosely modelled on the zither, but incorporating elements of the banjo and the guitar. These instruments were a focus to the new recordings, as was the cello, which I had started playing again after giving it up as a teenager.

..The music in both spaces was tuned in to the immediate surroundings of the studios - in Copenhagen, I could look out the window and see life out on the street; in Sweden, there were wood-burning stoves, birds, and the peculiar acoustics of the barn..."

Ended the weekend and started the week with Stikling by Blue Lake released on Polychrome in 2022

Jason Dungan who is Blue Lake writes:

"This record began in summer 2020, when I was staying at Andersabo, Sweden, where I run an artists' residency. I had access to a nearby church, and would set drones going on the organ while playing clarinet and piano. I started working with the combination of these long, sustained tones, combined with acoustic instruments, where the sound's duration was only as long as a breath or the pluck of a string...

The word “stikling” in Danish means a cutting taken from a plant that is then set in new soil..."
