Music for Stillness LP

Harlan Silverman plays bansuri, the Indian bamboo flute, like it's breathing rather than performing, laying that tone over cello and slow ambient texture. Music for Stillness pulls from Indian classical music, Japanese environmental recordings, and Western ambient traditions without ever building toward a payoff; it sits closer to a meditation aid than a normal record. It comes from Mississippi Records, a Portland label built on raw blues, gospel, and folk 78 reissues, here reaching into newer, quieter territory.
