coulou's cafe trumpet meditations (no. 15)

hey everybody, sending lots of love to all of u. had a moment this past week getting a little overwhelmed seeing things start to grow so fast. i've been playing trumpet since i was in fifth grade, i started producing and making music when i was 18. one of those really really hard heartbreaks that force you to find something that gives you peace. havn't stopped making music since. i've had so many beautiful moments playing music throughout my life. i've played in orchestras, jazz bands, funk bands, toured with pop soul groups, recorded with so many different kinds of artists, been in lots of different little musical universes. something about these meditations though feel so pure, detached from any scene or genre or person. its also a little nerve racking sharing something so personal and seeing people connect to it so much. at some point a few days ago i was really overthinking, what if the meditations start sounding bad, what if they're no longer meditative? people have really left some beautiful messages about the ways these sounds have helped them, i started getting anxious i'd be letting everyone down. but at a certain point my thoughts reached a place of reframing these meditations. at my best, each week i can provide you all with this offering, it'll never be perfect but it'll always be what i can show up with that week and i just know with art, sound, music there's so little control. thats what makes it so great, so mysterious, and endlessly able to grow and change. we don't actually know where this all comes from, and at my best i am an antenna that gets a wonderful signal for 20 minutes and i can translate what i pick up to the best of my abilities. the world is totally nuts so give yourself a break sometime with the expectations of knowing how to navigate all this. sending lots n lots of love to you all
my favorite song i've ever made comes out august 23 and i think you'll all really really love it. if you'd like to check out the spotify here's a link for ya :)

hey man, I rarely comment anything on YT, but I'm so grateful for these pieces - I wanted to let you know. I'm a young father and lately my daily life has been quite overwhelming. Your music helps me calm down and just focus on the present. I don't care whether this get better or worse, I just appreciate what you already produced. I don't judge, I take what's there. Just keep being yourself. Don't let "our" expectations ruin the creative flow.

[@rosemarysmith5991]

Hang in there, young papa bear, remember to laugh and know that it will all be alright. Make up silly songs for your kids, they will always remember them and it helps your overwhelmed mind to take a commercial break. It's ok to have silly songs just for yourself, too. :) At the end of each day just know that you did your best then leave the rest. Send good vibrations your way, keep on going :)

[@coulou__]

thank you, that means a lot. i wish u the best with everything

[@ChapionGamer]

Every morning when I wake up to work, the sun hasn’t risen yet, but I put your meditations on my headphones and turn inward, focusing on what’s important. A hugh From Brasil

[@coulou__]

sending a hug right back, thank you

[@blim2020]

I stumbled upon no. 9 first. Listened to some others but really enjoyed this one. More trumpet. Very calm and soothing. Listening in the mornings while I cook up breakfast. Thank you.

[@coulou__]

Thanks for listening !

[@orrhousecreative]

This has become part of my background anthem for contemplating the nature and direction of my existence. Your mind and your dedication to practicing those skills are beautiful. Thank you for your acts of creation and for being who you are at the center of your being. Peace.

Thank you so much for your productions, in particular for this one. I’ve just had my second child (5 weeks tomorrow!) and nursing her at night or walking in the park with your magical golden music keeping me company is pure joy. It feels like sunshine just listening to this. From a very appreciative mum x

The sounds have brought me somewhere new every time I listen to this... What magic did you do?! The space, color, vibe, objects, and rain make the sound unique with your music. I think a mixture of uniqueness and ease is rare. Thanks for sharing your soul
