Sounds Like: Like you could be sitting on the beach, or driving in your car, or playing fetch with a dog. Like talking with an old friend or a lost love. Like catching up on old times, smiling and crying in rhythms and rhymes. Like its free yet its caged...like its pretty but its ugly. Like a glacier, or the canter of a horse trotting down the way.Complexity through difinitive simplicity. Southern, Northern, high low, and what ever points sound right inbetween. The silence with in music is just as important as the sound, because silence is ultimately where sound originates and where it will evenually return. Music is like a representative portal for an artist/group of collaborators, that allows them access into the Great Presence of being and humanity. What they see out there they bring back and reitterate and augment and reproduce, those like grooves that appear tastey and appealing, on what ever level for what ever reason.So this music sounds different than it will tomorrow, and different than it did yesterday. I try to hear suggestions that will make music sound like something I've heard and appreciated, yet tweek it and alanyze it, to freshen and delight, old senses in new ways. Subject matter of Philisophical content, mysticism, Love, and of course the standard amount of cliche' and celoquailisms is always fun. Give it a rip and see how it sits. dig; chillin; see ya on the flip side.
