Welcome to the October 2026 edition of In The Zone! For this month's journey, I wanted to do something a little different. I started the session with an amazing, deep ambient feel that I just had to bind together right at the beginning rather than waiting for the end. You'll also find a gorgeous glimpse of Richard Shulman’s "Falling Leaves"—using just the final three minutes because it was simply too breathtaking to leave out!
Along the way, we dive into some real interesting "ducks in the pond"—unique, eclectic textures that add a special character to the show. From the opening notes of Dave Wise and Hargun Kaur into the acoustic and piano realms of Thomas Lemmer, Sherry Finzer, and Fiona Joy Hawkins, this two-hour voyage is designed to center your mind. Pour yourself a warm coffee, get comfortable, and enter the zone.
"Falling leaves, gentle piano keys, and infinite sonic horizons."
