When I started writing Stillness, I was just aiming to create a slow calm ambient track, improvising on the piano with a slow pulsing kick drum.
I noticed myself syncing my breathing to the pulse and realized how it really felt like a breathing exercise.
I released a video on YouTube with a visualizer for a guided breathing session.
I spent so much time on this track. I was living with my drummer in Manayunk and I would take the track and go out to test the mix in my car.
At that time I was only releasing one track per quarter on each change of the season.
It was also the first track to get shared by the Ambient youtube channel which was inspiring for me.
I have a lot of sentimental value for this track.
