...and once again - silence is my greatest teacher.
Leaving behind the fragrance & colours...
we can see the beauty in everything?
Some unmixed pre-production ideas & pre-release tracks
- this world - inspired by rumi
- my feather crystal - short edited version, inspired by my window
- devi state - a track inspired while watching Akram Khan play guitar in my living room & recalling my days in 2005/6 video documenting his choreography, the story & behind the scenes of "Ma".
- submersible mind - inspired by meditation.
- angular movements - inspired by the dance of Johanna Devi
The above pieces originated from my music composed for a contemporary choreography mixing Bharata Natyam & Contemporary Dance held at Staatliche Museen Berlin (Museum of Culture) 2006/7 combining electronic and acoustic live performance.
LOST PLANET
Project Members: Various Creatures
"Lost Planet is a project I find really intriguing simply because it's more about an exploration of feel and sound than a pretense of needing a verse, chorus or even a reprise. It's inspired by movement & light... and it's about flow and transformation.
I like hearing the different responses of how this work hits people - some say they don't get it... or they love it :). In composing this work much was all improvised with one take parts via keys & guitars... I would mash record and just play... with a story, feeling or landscape in mind. I really like the idea of allowing the music to travel and let the ending arrive naturally in this domino effect style of composing... I have no plan with a something specific, ending in mind, creating sections or choosing a length of time..
Frequencies seem to call and communicate to us in interesting ways... something I also learned about studying Nada & Swara Yoga. To me all sound is some form of music... and this as we all know doesn't neccesarily have to be played by a typical musical instrument... if I can trigger it, bang it, squeeze it or whatever :) it doesn't matter...For my spirit Lost Planet is an aural alchemy that inspires my mind toward imagination & inquiry... I also tend to think I'm on the wrong planet sometimes... thus... Lost Planet."

'As space defines beauty, silence defines sound.
...and with the experience of either, the other always manifests.... a lot may also depend on what's lubricating your perspective too. "

I've been photographing/filming such images which are slowing evolving into an installation exhibit combining sound, images & social interaction.
The images sliding by are from a collection of fotos & dance video stills captured by Free mostly around Berlin. Some of his video work captures dancers Felix Ruckert, Akram Khan, Johanna Devi, Birju Maharaj & others. The ruff shakey handy cam vid is of a Johanna Devi choreography with music by me...
There's nothing genius about my shooting, but when I'm attracted to special movement & light.... The moments are generally very engaging and they spawn new ideas in my bizarre mind... it happens while capturing and after... I also like to use movement in my shooting process in order to capture special angles.
The images here at myspace will change from time to time when I find time.... time is the essence!
Thanks for stopping by & taking interest.

Anguish at the everlasting waters we feed Staring at the darkest parts of the blue sea's eyes
It blinds us by its silence left a widower by a winter Which can never melt the icy salt of its waves
And left orphans by warm snows we go insane At your ancient resigned gaze
The golden swords of the sun can't even scratch Your intense mixture of silver and blue
Which deified our ancestors Which witnessed science's temples Which carefully hides the great lost island of the ancient future Which can kept the melancholic secrets of countless mortals

E' come impazzire in un mare dorato
Anguish at the everlasting waters we feed
Staring at the darkest parts of the blue sea's eyes
It blinds us by its silence left a widower by a winter
Which can never melt the icy salt of its waves
And left orphans by warm snows we go insane
At your ancient resigned gaze
The golden swords of the sun can't even scratch
Your intense mixture of silver and blue
Which deified our ancestors
Which witnessed science's temples
Which carefully hides the great lost island of the ancient future
Which can kept the melancholic secrets of countless mortals
