When I threw on this new piece from Theodore Cale Schafer, I was hit with a moment of calm. My mind stopped racing as the soothing melodies being played by vibraphones took over, lulling me into a moment of mindfulness and focus. As I sunk deeper and deeper into the rhythm there was a shift and a gorgeous string section took over. It felt like a moment of true bliss—I sat in silence when it ended, and then hit play again. Schafer says that the track is only an extract of something larger that he’s been working on. I know I won’t be the only person eagerly awaiting it.
