Good morning. We have another free recommendation today in place of the usual subscribers’ only mix. Back again soon.

Today we’re listening to John Carroll Kirby, a producer and keyboardist based in Los Angeles. Kirby has collaborated with singers like Solange and Frank Ocean, contributing beautiful synth/keyboard textures and melodies to their songs. We’re playing two of his solo LPs. First is 2018’s Meditations in Music, a series of ambient synth works helpful for focus. Second is his debut LP, Travel, from 2017. It has a wide range of instruments including drums – if you’re not into ambient yet try that one first.
