spokspace — 10 tracks without climaxes

Sometimes there's everything in your head at once: thoughts, tasks, pieces of other people's words, your own guesses. It's impossible to choose the main thing — even inside.

In such moments, you want someone to just turn down the sound a little. Not turn it off — leave the background. Music with a repetitive form and even tonality sometimes handles this.

It doesn't distract, doesn't lead you. It just sounds nearby.

The spokspace project team has collected 10 such tracks. Maybe it will fit — especially if it's night now and you don't know what to tackle first.

Usually at this point there's something like "analysis of each track."

But we're tired. And you probably are too. So we'll just leave a little introduction here — without concepts, without "must listen."

If something fits — good. If not — that's also normal.

Bedouine — Nice and Quiet, 2017

Americana with 60s folk influence. Guitar and vocals go almost level, no bursts.

The track stays on one line — as if specifically not to interfere with internal fluctuations.

Damien Jurado — Silver Joy, 2016

Indie folk built on two chords and light trembling vocals. The song stretches effortlessly, almost without rhythmic structure.

Works as a soft background when you don't want to think directly.

Gia Margaret — Hinoki Wood, 2023

Instrumental neoclassical track.

Piano in muted recording, with a repeating figure. Almost doesn't change throughout the entire composition.

You can listen endlessly — it just creates texture.

Mark Kozelek & Jimmy LaValle — Ceiling Gazing, 2013

Electronic ambient with vocal narrative.

Speech is almost not intonated, music works like fog — dense but not oppressive.

Suitable in the background when attention is unfocused and you want something to flow by itself.
