Distante.. Tão distante..
Brilhante.. Tão Brilhante..
Um farol no nevoeiro
Um sinal um mensageiro
Aqui aguardo
Aqui me ponho
Olhando a nuvem que antecede o sonho
Quando tudo se esbate
Esfumaça ou então parte
Para um lugar incerto
Maior que qualquer deserto
Será o Norte um Rumo
Que aponta como um prumo
Milhões de estrelas a girar
Que sem saber nos estão a tocar
Onde fica o tempo o lugar
Que queremos alcançar
Estamos perdidos na ilusão
Há espera da salvação
Sem nunca olharmos para dentro
Sem descobrirmos o nosso centro
 
Quem nos salvará
Quem nos acordará
De vida em vida a saltar
De vida em vida à espera de acordar

Vida em vida (Life on life)

Lately I've struggled to complete projects that I've started. There are at least a dozen close to completion but I just can't seem to get any of them over the line. So I set myself a challenge to start and finish something within a week in the hope that this will spur me on with the other unfinished works. The challenge was a success (well I think so anyway) so I give you 'Leaving Gravity'. The title says it all really ;) Hopefully I'll get some more finished soon...........

Moment in time

Shakuhachi improvisations, recorded June 2012.

01 June In Tottenham 1

Old Treadmill MIX 2

Old Loose Change 2

Yesterday I took my German nylon 3/4 sized acoustic guitar off my living room's wall and played a few notes. I stopped and took a small hand recorder and pressed 'record'.

In the background you can hear some noises every now and then. It is Anthea typing a letter. This is why I wanted to call this instrumental 'The Letter'. When she heard the mixed version however it reminded her of the Himalayas. I recognized what she meant so I decided to call it 'The Himalayan Letter' ... 

A second piece is about receiving and reading the letter...  https://soundcloud.com/mike-spring/ink-on-paper
