"The Golden Pastime" is a body instrumental work written, performed and recorded by Andrew A. Peterson. Since Andrew A. Peterson is also a visual artist, his original intention for the project was to make music ideal for listening to while painting, drawing etc.
The Golden Pastime music slips in and out of various genres, cliches and conventions ranging from trip-hop, industrial and metal to classic rock, minimalism, dance music, classical and ethnic musics. Like some minimalist composers, The Golden Pastime often utilizes memory and psycho-acoustic techniques as well as "lopsided" and unusual rhythms. The Golden Pastime also incorporates a wide variety of instruments into the pieces, acoustic, electric and electronic, both conventional and unconventional.
The Golden Pastime has been classified as "ambient" "psychedelic" "avant-garde" "electronica" "post-rock" and more.
Some of the early works from The Golden Pastime were specially adapted for use in the score to the critically acclaimed independent film, "Four Eyed Monsters."
Quantum mechanics,
quantum physics,
why not
Quantum philosophy?
The study
of the irrational behaviour
occuring at
atomic and sub-atomic
levels,
braving the frosty certainty
that everything is not
the way we used to know.
"Anyone who is not shocked by the quantum theory has not understood it."
- Niels Bohr
Quantumly,
I co-exist
among a sea
of potential possibilities,
neither here nor there
but also both here and there.
And don't bother to look closer
coz that just screws ev´thing up.
"I don't like it, and I'm sorry I ever had anything to do with it"
- Erwin Schrödinger (about Quantum Physics)
As Quantum anything
is completely ludricous to
Newtonian Principles,
so is Quantum Philosphy
to anything that forms part
of your Logic and Reason,
in fact, the greater the degree
of irrationality,
the greater it conforms to
Quantum Reasoning
in a reality which is Quantumly,
lessening the need of conformity
for it to exist in the first place.
"I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics."
- Richard P. Feynman (Nobel for Physics - 1965)
