The last one hundred pages or so aren\u2019t dedicated to music notations but quotes\u2014curated mantras, poems, and aphorisms. I am slightly surprised to see more recent poets, Mary Oliver and Audre Lorde, positioned next to Lao Tse and Christian Saints. Timeless truths in varied forms, I guess. I start reading a section called \u201cThe Wisdom of Other Religions.\u201d Number 607, an Islamic poem, calls out to me:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Beloved Presence<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Cloak yourself in a thousand ways;<br>still shall I know you, my Beloved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Veil yourself with every<\/em><br><em>enchantment<\/em><br><em>and yet I shall feel you.<\/em><br><em>Presence<\/em><br><em>most dear, close and intimate.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">I shall salute you in the springing<br>of cypresses<br>and in the sheen of lakes, the<br>laughter of fountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>I shall surely see you in<\/em><br><em>tumbling clouds,&nbsp;<\/em><br><em>in brightly embroidered<\/em><br><em>meadows.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Oh, Beloved Presence, more<br>beautiful than<br>all the stars together,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>I trace your face in ivy that<\/em><br><em>climbs,<\/em><br><em>in clusters of grapes,<\/em><br><em>in morning flaming the<\/em><br><em>mountains,<\/em><br><em>in the clear arch of sky.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">You gladden the whole earth and<br>make every heart great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>You are the breathing of the&nbsp;<\/em><br><em>world.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">                                                   From Shams Ud-Dun<br>                                                 Mohammad Hafiz<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What is this presence? Beloved God or beloved lover? Both? Just then, the lights dim and the crickets stop chirping. Brian Sweeny, the founder of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ambient.church\/\">Ambient Church<\/a>, introduces Laraaji and Arji OceAnanda Cakouros, who is Laraaji\u2019s \u201cBlissmate,\u201d and a Sound Healer, Musician, Usui Reiki Master, and Dreamwork Teacher in her own right. The two walk on stage clad completely in orange. They move slowly, deliberately as if wading through currents of energy. The altar has been turned into a deck for the two of them, with spiritual instruments placed side by side with a laptop, board, and wires. They start small: Laraaji begins pulling a muted glissando on his electrified zither. From there the sounds begin to layer in glimmering cascades of resonance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Washington Square Park, 45 years ago, Laraaji, who still goes by Edward Larry Gordon, plays a different tune with the same radiant bliss. His arresting skill catches the ear of English musician, producer, and artist Brian Eno, who is in the process of creating his pioneering series of albums that he will call \u201cambient music.\u201d Eno listens to Gordon\u2019s autoharp, scrawls on a note then drops it into the musician\u2019s case. The message: come by my studio, let\u2019s make an album together. Gordon doesn\u2019t see Eno\u2019s note until a year later, when a couple who hears a thread in his sound approaches him and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/music\/2023\/feb\/09\/brian-eno-left-a-note-in-my-zither-case-how-fate-intervened-for-ambient-music-pioneer-laraaji\">asks<\/a> \u201cDo you know Fripp and Eno?\u201d A month after this, he finds the note in his zither case, among piles of dollar bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Six years prior to this moment, Gordon is down-flat on rent and ready to sell his guitar for some quick cash, when an inner voice tells him: \u201c\u2018Don\u2019t take the money, swap the guitar for the autoharp in the window.\u2019\u201d He listens to that voice, walks out with an autoharp and some cash, and in a few weeks, starts playing on the streets of Brooklyn in lotus position. Even months earlier, Gordon wins a role in Robert Downey Sr\u2019s <em>Putney Swope<\/em>, a racial satire on advertising\u2014but a bad review of his performance shakes his moral ground. He begins reading Sri Chinmoy, Satchidananda, Krishnamurti, Baba Ram Dass, and Osho. That\u2019s when he hears it: \u201ca brass choir in [his] musical imagination that turns [him] on to the experience of eternity and the simultaneity of everything in the universe.\u201d This sound motivates him to experiment for hours, creating \u201ca vocabulary [he] could use in\u2026extended improvisations.\u201d He modifies tunings, adds electric pick-ups, and hammers the strings until it sounds right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Ambient 3: Day of Radiance <\/em>is released in 1980 on Eno\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/music.hyperreal.org\/artists\/brian_eno\/obscure.html\">Obscure Records<\/a>. The album is more overtly spiritual than Eno\u2019s previous two ambient albums\u2014no doubt due to Laraaji\u2019s deeply intuitive style. Gordon is born in Philadelphia in 1943. As a child, attends church with his family, where the negro spirituals and gospel choirs transport him from the world of adults into his own imagination. At Howard University, Gordon studies piano and composition\u2014Beethoven\u2019s masses and requiems, and at night, he pursues his interest in jazz and R&amp;B.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/orgs.emerson.edu\/wecb\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/87\/2025\/11\/IMG_3033-768x1024-scaled-1-scaled-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13291\" style=\"width:442px;height:auto\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Shot on iPhone by Christian Jones<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>I hear these influences as Laraaji counts: \u201c1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-1, the only one, the creator.\u201d Cakouros reads his rhythms with intuitions of her own, putting syncopated staccatos on her shaker to back up his soft-mallet hammering. At random intervals, one or the other laughs or begins chanting mantras, sprinkling in dashes of wind-chime glitter here and there. Psychedelic orange visuals dilate on the walls behind them. I close my eyes and see water dancing in the darkness of my eyelids while the prismatic sound engulfs me\u2014speakers on either side alternate amplifying sound. The church reverberates like the Tibetan singing bowl that closes their set. Cakouros laughs into the microphone and a peaceful silence fills the cavernous space, as complete and full as the music that had arisen from it. A hesitant rivulet of applause, not wanting to break this <a href=\"https:\/\/new.uniquejapan.com\/ikebana\/ma\/\">\u9593 (Ma)<\/a>, is quickly joined by other streams, and Laraaji moves off the stage, swaying his arms like a <a href=\"https:\/\/tenor.com\/search\/inflatable-tube-man-gifs\">car wash balloon<\/a> and taking the energy all the way in. The two reassume contact with the Divine for their encore, and when it is really over, they have a standing ovation.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/orgs.emerson.edu\/wecb\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/87\/2025\/11\/IMG_3027-768x1024-scaled-1-scaled-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13292\" style=\"width:422px;height:auto\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Shot on iPhone by Christian Jones<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Laraaji and Cakouros stand in the corner of the church after their performance and a group of people line up to greet and thank them, myself included.
