Beacon by Jane Bruckner

Hello…

…this began with a recurring dream of a beacon transmitting signals out over a dark and foggy ocean... sounds broadcasted blindly, to destinations unknown... I suppose this is what it feels like to put music on the internet…

…this act of releasing music online is so inherently impersonal. We will never meet, you and I…

...so I wanted to make something that could cut through this separation and find true empathy. Where some real connection could be possible, in spite of the distance between us…

These songs don’t change. They rise from fog and recede back into fog. They play on loop, like waves hitting the shore, each one slightly different from the last. The ocean has always given me a sense of calm and connectedness. Maybe these songs will pass that on to you…

My hope is that this music might help people, especially those who are feeling lost or alone—

I hope it finds you well, wherever you are. May it be a guiding light through the fog and through the darkness — something to let you know you’re not alone.

With love,

Jane
