One of the things I’ve become more definite about as part of the “My Brain” quest has been times of quiet.

Like most people I don’t live somewhere were quiet actually exists. I rely on music to take me to the place of quiet.

For some time a couple of CD’s by Jan Garbarek and the Hilliard Ensemble (Officium & Mnemosyne) have been amongst my favourites.

For Christmas I got another one to add to my collection, this time from the Jan Garbarek Group - Twelve Moons. I think I already like this as much, if not more than the other two.

I’m not going to try and describe Jan’s music, whoever wrote the Wikipedia entry did a reasonable job, but this is not music that fits neatly into any genre. I’m not even going to recommend it, I love it, but I know others find it inaccessible.

Have a listen on Amazon you might love it to.
