coulou's cafe trumpet meditations (no. 7)

i'm in LA the next couple weeks doing music and i brought my pocket trumpet and a little studio setup with me. I'm currently finishing two EPs so there's kind of an endless amount of tinkering i need to do on a lottttt of songs right now. these meditations have become an anchor in my week and im really grateful to have the time to pause and create something.
i was thinking back to me earliest music memories. i remember when i was around 7 years old, i had a strict russian piano teacher named Vram and instead of teaching me how to read music (probably because i didnt have the attention span to learn) he just showed me all the notes one by one on the piano and i would memorize my recital pieces. though, instead of practicing the music, i recall i would sit at the piano most days and just go on an improvised musical journey for what felt like hours. i guess that was my first experiences in a "flow" state of meditation. i found myself doing the same thing when learning trumpet as well as when i picked up guitar. recording, filming, and posting these "meditations" is new, but it feels like i'm just learning how to capture something i've always done.
each video feels like im starting from scratch in a way, i experiment with different recording, filming, editing, mixing, mastering techniques. i dont feel truly satisfied with any of the meditations yet, but i know i'm getting closer to capturing a sound and space that i can imagine in my mind. i'm not sure if anyone reads these but i really appreciate your willingness to go on this journey with me and i am truly excited to see what sounds come in to existence through this series.

I appreciate your willingness to share before you are satisfied. It's precious to see the journey, not just the result (which is great anyway). We've had enough of only seeing finished products. It's a miracle I found your channel in the vast space of CZcams. Much love from someone who survived the Russian style of music teaching, but never returned to creating sounds.🤗

[@coulou__]

thank you for all of that

[@yonsubae]

this video in itself is a journey, as I played it I felt my gut where we tend to hold most anxiety relax, this music guided my nervous system to surrender flow and feel safe for the present blissful moment im experiencing. I let my mind clear and just flowed with the music it let me to feel emotional filled with the love of the moment yet not overwhelmed. Their power in the authenticity of your music never let anything change the passion and love you channel through your journey with music. Much love

[@bushigi5913]

[@Learn_Ukrainian_with_Viktoriia]

Loving it. Feeling it with my heart. BIG THANK YOU COULOU❤

[@AGloomyProduction]

I love these!!!! Thanks for sharing your process!! Keep doing YOU. These meditations are beautiful and so calming. Discovered while doing some morning yoga and fell into a little meditation of my own

[@monicanudelman]

Beautiful!💜

[@sarahengelf]

it’s funny to think about the impact we can (accidentally) have on someone else’s life. I was having a really hard time reading books, never having enough time or energy - and funny enough, always wasting time on social media. But since I found your channel, I’ve created this “book ritual” of putting my phone away with your videos on while reading and man, it changes everything. The experience is so much more beautiful and enjoyable 🤍 idk, just thinking about it while I’m with my book (close to finishing!) and listening to this nonstop. Thank you for sharing your work with us, it means a lot

[@coulou__]

thats so beautiful, i really appreciate you sharing that and am very happy you're getting into a book ritual with these as well

[@BrocheBallet]

Amazing, thank you so much!!!

[@ducknoired]

So gorgeous. I definitely read the descriptions, and love knowing a bit about where these come from. I'm a creative person, doing a desk job that supports a creative community. These meditations accompany me through days of not-so-exciting work, reminding me of the beauty of improvised action, and connecting me to the people I do my work for.

[@coulou__]

i love love this, its so cool to see how these longer pieces can fit into your day like that

[@ducknoired]
