No, I don't do the whole "Friday the 13th" bit.
But today's Free Music Friday is a bit unconventional in that it's a number of very long songs that you could incorporate into one of your endurance classes.
I'm really getting into the whole "Zen" thing and Trance music at the right BPM is really working and my class seems to enjoy it 🙂
These tracks aren't on Spotify - but you can download it for free.
What's cool about Magic Show (15 mins @ 100 BPM) is there is a fade to 3 minutes of quiet at the end. Not normally what you want, but I suggest giving it a try. My experience is that everyone will stay quite and use the quiet as a time to recover - maybe get a drink - all without me needing to say anything.

Here's an interesting flat @ 90 RPM

And another at 94 RPM - my favorite of these three.

Thanks John! I just started teaching a “Zen” type of Indoor Cycling Class at our local YMCA on Sunday afternoons and this music is perfect. I agree “Deep in Coming Home 2007” is the best of 3 in my opinion. I end my class by handing out cold towels wrapped in fresh cucumbers – the members love it!
I forgot to add that you may want to convert Magic Show from the Wav file you download to an MP3 in iTunes to reduce the file size.
Love these ones! My type of music for sure. I love to incorporate this kind in my classes to give the participants a chance to look within and take ownership of their workout. I have to share the following songs that I use a lot, the album Deep Space with John Stanford. My first instructor instructor introduced me to them. Awesome!
Love the Free Music Friday! Keep em comin’! 🙂
Just listened through the Deep in Coming Home. It’s a remix of Deep Space by John Stanford.
