"Dispersion, Youth" Sound Artwork
2019
Our bodies are temporary vessels for our life-beings. Consciousness uses our w a r m f l e s h like we would use a bicycle to get from one part of the city to another . We must protect the castle ( metaphorical body ) while realizing that it is a * t e m p o r a r y * dwelling space.
The only constant in life is change. The only guarantee of our dwelling is that it will change. Do not be afraid of this.
Acceptance is a vital step to harnessing the power of change. Seek growth like a dry sponge and it will ease the process.
The album ‘breakthrough, nourishment’ and the project as a whole are the culmination of various ambient music techniques I have been experimenting with during a weekly meditation series hosted on my rooftop in Highland Park, Los Angeles.
It is minimalist music, composed by a mixture of chance based modular synthesis operations and my own human responses to those results. The basis for the sound is randomly derived pitches and rhythms that parallel the arbitrary fluctuations of everyday life. The sound palette is meant to inspire and elicit meditative practice.
The nature sounds were recorded by me in Detroit, Los Angeles (Angeles National Forest), and Northern Michigan.
The title ‘breakthrough, nourishment’ is based on my studies of the ancient Chinese I Ching oracle text and part of a reading I conducted concerning some questions about creating music and art in today’s world.
