Lost in Translation
Looking for meanings in words, images and sounds
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.
This is my entry to WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE: Letters
Lost in Translation 
What a unique take! It does look like a letter. Good one.

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.

🙂 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 🙂

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!

It’s a funny old tree stump, if you could call it that, Paula. I can see a little face peeking out at me, but I like your interpretation too. More soothing music 🙂 Have a peaceful weekend. Hugs!
