Wow, this is freaky! And I didn't do it on purpose . . . today is exactly 5 years from when I last made a post on this blog . . . and I decided to start it up again now, without realizing that April 13 was the same date as the last post :)
So maybe this could be an anniversary of some sort . . . at any rate, I do want to keep writing new posts, and I'm so happy to begin with this one, featuring a composer and photographer, Jeff Carlson.
Below is what the homepage of his website looks like (https://www.shippyhollow.com).
For a long time Jeff has been composing instrumental music, and producing it digitally. His main way to use the tracks has been to put together a video with photographs, and create a musical soundtrack to go along with it. I first heard some of his pieces two years ago, when watching some of his videos.

Jeff is in a process of continually composing music, and also takes a lot of photographs. He has joined both art forms together to make short videos with photos on a variety of themes. As his website states, "These videos combine all of my loves: family, friends, pics and music. " To this I have to say, "What could be better?!"
Well, not much (could be better) . . . but ever since beginning to see (and hear) these videos, I was hoping he would make his music tracks available on a CD, to be able to hear the music by itself, unattached to anything else.
So I was very happy when in fall of 2019 he put out not one, but two CD albums!
Here is a link to learn about them: https://www.shippyhollow.com/music Besides CD format, they are also available from Apple Music, Amazon, Spotify, and other digital sources.
And very recently, a video by Jeff Carlson became a catalyst for me to get back to this music blog after a long period of hibernation . . . when I watched this video, I was so amazed by it-- the images were wonderful, ethereal; and the quiet music was a beautiful accompaniment. I was inspired to make the next post about this music AND video, "River Walk," about a foggy morning in a small town, walking along to reach a river.
