But such as I have, I give unto thee: the title that came in for this one was “Grace.”

I don’t know how many people listen to these; it seems not many; but they’re so enjoyable to make. The algorithm doesn’t give you anything, because there’s no one there to be the giver, and so there’s no gift, is there?

But I can give you something.

A blessed Sunday to everyone.

But such as I have, I give unto thee: a long, contemplative playlist. As usual, with no track details… I trust that if anything moves you, you’ll figure out how to find it.

One note: the first long piece uses no electronics — only human voices, recorded in the Abbey of Le Thoronet in France (which is a giveaway to those who are already guessing what it is).

For your listening pleasure — something I promise the algorithm cannot deliver. And a little mystery, since you won’t immediately “know” anything about what you’re hearing. Imagine it’s an unlabeled cassette you found at a party and put on in the wee hours when only the serious people are left…
