J. Esterline’s first release on Adore Recordings is a deeply contemplative four-track journey that explores themes of inner peace, universal connection, and transcendent beauty. Opening with the title track “Beautiful,” the album establishes an intimate sonic landscape that invites listeners into a space of reflection and wonder.
“Melody” continues this exploration through musical storytelling, while “Qigong Heart Healing” draws inspiration from ancient wellness practices, creating an auditory experience designed to center and restore. The collection concludes with “Space,” an expansive piece that encourages listeners to find room for both silence and sound in their lives.
This release showcases Esterline’s ability to craft music that serves as both artistic expression and mindful practice, offering audiences a rare opportunity to slow down and connect with something larger than themselves. Everything is Beautiful stands as a testament to music’s power to heal, inspire, and transform.
Since 1991, Esterline has been translating the music that perpetually plays in his mind into tangible form. What started as childhood sessions on pianos and organs at his grandmother’s houses evolved through his first Casio keyboard and eventually to his prized Casio HT-700, acquired in the mid-80s, where he began programming his own beats and became a fixture at the local music store.
For Esterline, music-making isn’t driven by grand philosophy or artistic theory—it’s an unavoidable compulsion, a necessary release of the sounds that exist in his head. This instinctive approach has led him to experiment with drum machines and any device capable of producing sound throughout his life, always following the simple directive of bringing his internal soundscape into the external world.
