Weekly Photo Challenge: Letters

When I saw this tree it reminded me of the character て from Japanese syllabary Hiragana.
The enclosed track titled “Tree” is a composition of Kitaro, a famous Japanese musician, composer and multi-instrumentalist who is regarded as a pioneer of New Age music.

  5. Very interesting interpretation of the theme, Paula.
    i got into Kitaro as a teen and i still listen to his music, very soothing, very ethereal. And you’re right, he and a French musician named Jean Michel Jarre are both considered pioneers in the whole ambient music movement, of which I’m a big fan.

    1. 🙂 I had that feeling about you Stephen, as I noticed you like most of the music I post 🙂 Did you use to listen to Andreas Vollenweider too? I love Jarre, and Vangelis and Oldfield even more 🙂

      1. HI Paula … not so much Vollenweider, but definitely Jarre, Vangelis, Mike Oldfield and many others. I listen to an internet radio station called SOMAFM (based here in SF!) that has a show called Drone Zone that’s really deep and interesting ambient music. Check it out on iTunes! I write and edit for a living, and I can’t listen to music with vocals and lyrics, because then I start focusing on that and not whatever it is I’m working on. Ambient music really helps me zero in on my work, and it’s also just plain peaceful and relaxing!
