about
Live solo recording. The three movements of the piece are not separated into tracks due to the continuous, transformative nature of the music.
lyrics
I. Bald Peak
How does love relate
to the vastness of spaces?
Bending to its shape,
my limbs are free from quaking.
A moment self-creates:
I see inside your pores.
Your open mouth:
A testament to your ecstasy.
To admit: the infancy of models
that do not lose their meaning
when separated from a source –
models that do not lose their meaning
when standing by themselves.
To admit:
that this is an experiment
you see through you.
II. Sylvan Pass
The openness of images:
A canyon with a river bending through,
or the bison grazing aimlessly
under an arc in stormy sky.
As we drove along, wondering
"What happened to the trees?"
Trunks of silver – standing leafless –
Tiny life under their reach.
The openness of images:
A canyon with a river bending through.
III. Light of Sirius
What was that about?
The number of tries to open a line
that you could talk through
is exceeded by the time it takes
for me to want to get into it,
so now I'm done with it.
Get into it / done with it.
It's dangerous when people become
iconic in your mind –
like he is my lover,
and she is my boss,
and that is a messiah.
Yet someone new is standing there in question,
and I don't know who sent him –
or what his message is –
but it seems serious.
Like a dog on Orion's tail;
Not like a stranger passing
in the night –
but as soon as the bone is tossed,
I will be onto it.
