to call the times in which we now live strange is an understatement
change is always with us
but massive changes are taking place
we are caught up in & being swept along by currents
over which we have little control
the old structures - economic & social - are dying out
slipping away
fading from view
replaced by new ones that we must adjust to
some of us are hopeful
some of us are overwhelmed & lost in desperation
all of us are uncomfortable
pulling back into ourselves like poked sea anemones
retreating to the essence
to what we sense in our hearts & minds is right & real
losing the fat
getting down to bone
that’s just what i am trying to do with this music
rip away preconceived notions
& scrape it down to its marrow
words & rhythm
kick, snare & syllables
hanging time on a line
then wrapping it in sounds of right now
modern & unique
all that is important is to feel life as it happens
show it
own it
knowing only one thing for certain
there’s no going back
