Good questions need good answers.
Are you improving on the silence?

Carried on the chaotic winds
turning imbalance into beauty
i join the fast
dancing clouds
i join the slow
blooming flowers
i join the sensual
flowing scarfs and unfolding limbs

Dancing
DANCING
For me, playing music is my way to decorate time.
Decorating time with sound makes it easier for me to dance.
The sounds are energy dancing on the playing field where each beat is a new now.
That field where art has no goals, and creativity is not trying to achieve something.
That transcendental space where the I AM instead becomes that which I am expressing.
The musician creating the sound, but the music creating its own infinite detail.
Dancing in order to transcend the dancer.
I Play Dance Music
I PLAY DANCE MUSIC
The asymmetric universe creates imperfections
Then subsequent imbalances cause change
This gives everything an emerging quality
Thus allowing continuous becoming
Therefore I Play dance music
Through my body notes emerging
Time and space technique dividing
Thought allowing sound becoming
I See A Dancer
I SEE A DANCER
just in the corner there
just there on the edge
just where eyes open
There with eye lids closed
There to help me see
i see a dancer
Emergence (1)
Sounds from my hands
carried on chaotic winds
thrown back into my arms
turning imbalance into beauty
leave all beyond and behind
here we do not perceive
nor define
Do not think about the music
as you play it but
instead become that which
you are expressing
Music making to
break through those places
where culture defines
what is comfortable thought
Emergence (2)
Lighten your load
lay down your burdens
you do not need
musical judgements
Asymmetric universe is
creating imperfections
subsequent imbalances
causing continuous
becoming making
sound as energy
dancing dancing
Sounds are energy
dancing where music
is creating
and the artist
is not trying
Emergence (4)
Music uses air as a partner
a very unreliable medium
where composition
and execution rely on a very
precarious atmosphere
where silence is the canvas
and gravity never fails
Although music cannot travel
as fast as our now
which is perceived as a
flow of space/time
music can help us to
play on that field
where space/time meets mind
Emergence (5)
Emergence (6)
Emergence (7)
Emergence (9)
Emergence(10)
Through my body
notes emerging
time and space
technique dividing
thought allowing
sound becoming
Music making
changing the I AM
into that I am
expressing
that which I am
expressing
is change and
without change
there is no music
there is no I AM
