THE EVENING MUSE… I’m certain the time will come when I look back nostalgically on the night when I - insomniac that I am - laid awake in the embrace of some song that tormented my soul and held me captive as I followed it through the dark alleyways of memory. Music does that to me – it has the power to make me weep uncontrollably, laugh outrageously, twist shamelessly. I can close my eyes and literally inhabit the precise moment in time when I first heard the melody, felt the rhythm pierce my flesh and take up residence in my consciousness. It is a living thing that I am able to occupy…to burrow down into and lose myself in only to be beguiled by some delicious fiction I have accepted as truth. The particular song, this particular night, was the impetus that created what shall now be called: “The Evening Muse” – a detailed examination and analysis of the genesis of a composition, both lyric and music…the story behind the song. The idea actually took shape while I was completing work on my most recent album, ‘Familiar Addiction’, and had taken on a life of its own in the form of a journal that chronicled the process of writing songs for and recording the second CD. It has evolved from ‘my-journal’ to MySpace. So, it begins… I do not presume to have even the most remote level of expertise in the craft of songwriting; my motive is purely cathartic in nature and perhaps a touch self-indulgent. Me talking out loud…working my way through my own messes and attempting to sift through the debris looking for clues and trying to identify my dysfunction among the fragments. That’s all really. I invite you in. There is no magic here – only such as one may find cloaked in the wonder of our missteps and frailty, inadequacies and random passions. Beauty and utter bullshit…the roots of inspiration. Each week, I will feature a particular song. I invite you to listen to it, read the lyrics…STUDY the lyrics. Examine them to find something that touches you, speaks to you. Leave a comment, send a message…respond in any way you wish. - n.

EVERY SINGLE MUSICAL ARTIST IN THE WORLD SHOULD EXPERIENCE IMAGINARY ROAD STUDIOS AT LEAST ONCE IN HER/HIS LIFETIME. IT IS THE PERFECT SYMBIOSIS OF THE AESTHETIC AND THE TECHNICAL...YOU WILL BE INSPIRED TO CREATE - TO GIVE YOUR UTMOST. http://www.williamackerman.com/Studios.html SHE IS WORKING WITH LEGENDARY COMPOSER, GUITARIST, PRODUCER, AND FOUNDER OF WINDHAM HILL RECORDS, WILL ACKERMAN. "HIS INSTINCTS AND SENSIBILITIES ARE FLAWLESS. HE IS A MASTER OF HIS CRAFT, AND IT IS APPARENT IN EVERYTHING HE TOUCHES. I HAVE NEVER BEEN CHALLENGED OR INSPIRED TO THIS LEVEL OF PERFORMANCE BEFORE. AND HE IS A PRECIOUS SOUL. IT IS CLEAR THAT HIS MUSIC IS THE EMBODIMENT OF EVERYTHING THAT HE IS AND HIS SPIRIT ILLUMINATES EVERY COMPOSITION. ADDITIONALLY, NOA IS WORKING WITH THE PLATINUM STANDARD OF RECORDING ENGINEERS, CORIN NELSON. "HE IS BRILLIANT...PHENOMENAL AT THE CONTROLS, CAPTURING THE SUBTLETIES AND NUANCES OF YOUR MUSIC." AS ANTICIPATION BUILDS, WE CAN TELL YOU, THE ALBUM WILL FEATURE A SET OF ALL NEW MUSIC WITH REARRANGEMENTS OF TWO SONGS FROM NOA'S 'FAMILIAR ADDICTION' CD. THERE ARE ALSO A FEW "GUEST APPERANCES". WE'RE GOING TO LEAVE YOU GUESSING, BUT WE'LL JUST SAY...WOW. KEEP CHECKING IN FOR UPDATES... Holey Pockets Music

Always the same pleasure in listening your music, Noa. There is a direct line between your talent, your voice and the way you make the whole thing grooving.
A perfect equilibrium.

I hope this comment, aka 'Tankism' finds you well today. Enjoy and stay in touch. :)

When you wake up in the morning be sure to ask yourself, "Am I looking for LIFE to bless me today or to give me a struggle?"

MINDSET: it's the steering wheel to the vehicle that drives our lives. Which way you going today? :) Take care

Hi Noa,

I've just arrived home after a few manic days away during which my son has got married. Just hoping things will settle down for a bit now. I don't know what is going off on Myspace at the moment, but both of your lost comments turned up today together with several others that had gone astray. Hope you are well and making more beautiful music.
Warmest regards,
Paul

Dear Noa … :) …

Oh, it’s SO SO GOOD to hear from you! Thank you for your beautiful words. Now you make for me to work with even more determination ... :) …

When I’m in the presence of someone poetic it’s easy for me to be poetic for all I have to do … is gather the poetry that is you …. :)

Here’s as yet a ‘diamond in the rough’ for you, Noa from today’s work on my next book:

“…would that we could paint with the blueness of Sky’s blue, and the greenness of Valley’s green …”

Needs more polishing … :) …

With love, dear poetic friend,

Richard
