Ensō by Freestyle Ambient Project
LP 04
Ensō is Freestyle Ambient Project's fourth full length album, and is something of an expansion on the creative methods used on previous releases. For this album, I allowed myself to make as many tracks per day as I was tempted to (as opposed to the former one-per-day policy), and I was less restrictive with time limits. This resulted in fifteen tracks being created between December 10th and December 21st, 2012, which appear in chronological order. As always, each track is accompanied by an original painting, which can be seen on the individual download pages. The paintings are to be viewed while listening to the corresponding tracks.
Ensō is a Japanese word meaning "circle." In Zen Buddhist painting, ensō symbolizes a moment when the mind is free to simply let the body and spirit create. The brushed ink of the circle is usually done on silk or rice paper in one movement, and there is no possibility of modification: it shows the expressive movement of the spirit at that time.
