Hiram “Green Green Earth” cassette (Permaculture)

What is the sound of sunlight from beneath a living leaf?

Inspired by that infinite kaleidoscopic shade, Green Green Earth offers a delicate answer with this collection of meditative vignettes—evoking the stillness of Nature, inviting connection, reflection, and wonder.

Recorded in the summer of 2024, the album draws from Hiram’s intimate solo performances on voice, piano, organ, flute, and synthesizer, interlaced with organic field recordings that bring the outside world into focus—the whisper of wind through the trees, the rhythmic pulse of rain, and the chorus of birds and insects blending seamlessly with the resonant tones of bells, bowls, and chimes, crafting a rich, resonant landscape—like walking barefoot on cool, damp soil, reconnecting with the pulse of life.

Idealized for headphone listening, Green Green Earth employs spatial mixing techniques and stereo signal processing, placing the listener at the heart of the immersive soundscape. Each note feels suspended between Earth and sky, inviting quiet contemplation of humanity’s place within the delicate balance of Nature.

Hiram reflects, “This album is a meditation on the Earth we share, a small reminder to slow down and listen.”

In today’s fast-moving world, the need for calm is universal. Green Green Earth offers a quiet call: to pause, breathe, and recognize our connection to the planet we call home. We are not separate from its living rhythms—we are part of their pulse, stewards of its fragile beauty, and participants in its ancient symphony of life and wonder.
