The heart of man has turned to stone, and compassion is not found.. We've taken love and friendship and beat them to the ground.. Let's end this reign of violence, and halt these evil designs.. We are all in this as one human race, to that we must resign.. So, please reach out so all of us cease the malice and the pain..

CalmRadio.UpliftingPills.com Instagram.com/UpliftingPills Over years of mixing ambient music, I have come to fall in love not only with certain artists, but labels who publish troves of ambient gold. This mix begins a series of albums named after some of my favorite labels. To start us off is Imaginary North, a Toronto-based label created by Daniel Field, who also produces exquisite ambient works as Kilometre Club. Established in 2022, Imaginary North focuses on bringing together like-minded musicians across the world to create compilations, collaborations, and individual pieces of music. T

CalmRadio.UpliftingPills.com Instagram.com/UpliftingPills This mix is dedicated to one of my favorite ambient producers, Human Is Alive (Pavel Lipatov). He is amongst the most featured artists in this podcast for a good reason: anything he touches turns into blissful ambient gold. He's constantly releasing beautiful atmospheric music, featuring layered textures of drone sounds and a fair bit of natural elements. His music never fails to evoke all-around positive emotions, including sense of calm, melancholy, and nostalgia (the latter is a prominent theme with his Reflections Of The Past subproject). On top of that, he's a genuinely nice guy

Mike's motivation for creating this beautiful music is one that I deeply resonate with when creating Calm Pill mixes. “Our world isn’t slowing down,” Graff says, “And when I try to keep up with it all, I begin to disconnect from my soul—from the ability to feel, notice and live.

CalmRadio.UpliftingPills.com Instagram.com/UpliftingPills Gratefulness and humility are two qualities that elevate humankind. Combined, they cushion our falls in life. Because in a way, they help us "fall upwards", such that our hardships become catalyst for ever greater appreciation of blessings we once had, and ones we continue to have. When we let go of entitlement, we develop a sense of awe towards everything we get to experience, no matter the magnitude or level of familiarity. Lee Brown (IG @fallingup79) writes some beautiful heartfelt reflections. He shared with me the following passage that he wrote while listening to a Calm Pill mix:

Shaped like a heart, it was barely hanging on the branch, nearly ready to fall down. I asked the leaf if it was frightened because it was autumn and the other leaves were falling. The leaf told me, “No. During the whole spring and summer I was completely alive. I worked hard to help nourish the tree, and now much of me is in the tree. I am not limited by this form. I am also the whole tree, and when I go back to the soil, I will continue to nourish the tree. So I don’t worry at all. As I leave this branch and float to the ground, I will

For even a single second, to not feel worried about something, sad about something. To not crave something we don’t–or can’t–have. Just to be there, okay. Still. Silent. On the inside.

I go alone to my secret place, never leaving a trace For someone to follow and discover my space Where I keep my secrets, my fears, and my regrets Away from the world and all of its threats.

With chuckling streams that catch the light, And songbirds trilling with delight. With soft white clouds in pure blue skies, A lilting breeze that gently sighs. With weeping willows that quietly droop Their shadows, as they drape and stoop. With blossom scents that chase the air, Like children run without a care. As I lay my head to sleep, I pray my dreams are safe to keep. ― As I Lay My Head To Rest by Danielle Ward

I'm pleased to announce the launch of Calm Pills Ambient Radio (calmradio.uppmixes.com): a free 24/7 online radio station playing your favorite Calm Pill mixes which you can tune into anytime and just hit play!

CalmRadio.UpliftingPills.com Instagram.com/UpliftingPills "There is a sense of timelessness in the twilight. Of time standing still and extending into the infinite. Of sadness and hope. Of yearning and satisfaction. Of unrest and peace. Where time has no meaning and the mundane melts away into the symphony of colours in the sky.. ..and your eyes follow the fading light and your soul knows its purpose once again." Happy new year my dear listeners! ― Twilight by Kim Making this mix was a labor of love. If you feel like sup

CalmRadio.UpliftingPills.com Instagram.com/UpliftingPills A sunny afternoon at the park lake. Waves ripple ashore. Birds sing in the trees. Children laugh and shout at some playground in the distance. And here you stand looking at your reflection trembling on the water, you ask: Who am I? And your picture looks back at you and answers: You're no longer who you were, you're almost who you'll be. Ego te absolvo. You bend down. You pick up a stone. And as you hold it in your hand it's getting heavier and heavier. And just before it's too weighty to hold any longer, you throw it with all your might into your face on the water.

CalmRadio.UpliftingPills.com Instagram.com/UpliftingPills I shall have some peace here, for peace comes dropping slow, Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings; I will arise and go now, for always night and day I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore; I hear it in the deep heart’s core. ― "The Lake Isle of Innisfree" by William Butler Yeats Making this mix was a labor of love.

A mellow, loving feeling pervades this mix, helping you turn down the volume knob on life. “Every hour of your life that ticks by, there are numerous points and moments when you can choose to pause - and be aware of your mental and physical state.

CalmRadio.UpliftingPills.com Instagram.com/UpliftingPills I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky, And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by, And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking, And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking, I must down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied; And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying, And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying. I must down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life, To the gull’s way and the whale’s way where t

Perhaps we can learn to appreciate its peaceful beauty and with this kind of relaxing piano music. “How beautiful the moonlight’s shining on this bank! Let’s sit here and let the music fill our ears. Stillness and nighttime are perfect for beautiful music. Sit down, Jessica. Look at the stars, See how the floor of heaven is inlaid with small disks of bright gold. Stars and planets move in such perfect harmony that some believe you can hear music in their movement. If you believe this, even the smallest star sings like an angel in its

CalmRadio.UpliftingPills.com Instagram.com/UpliftingPills When everything is moving and shifting, the only way to counteract chaos is stillness. "There is a presence, a silence, a stillness which is here by itself. There is no doer of it, no creator of this stillness. It is simply here in you, with you. It is the fragrance of your own self. There is nothing to do about this, it is naturally present. This fragrance of peace, this spaciousness, it is the fragrance of your own being." ― Mooji Making this mix was a labor of love.
