This started out as a piano piece in 2018 but then decided to expand it into a atmospheric piece when I was working on the Waiting CD.

ROGER U : OBLIVION

In between Summer and Fall, Nature seems puzzled for a brief period as the transition completes itself; much like us as we merge with our futures. 
But somehow everything works out.

In any case, here is a composition on Electric Piano born in a recent improvised recording session. It merges and flows in waves and patterns that never quite resolve themselves even as they stay harmonious. Puzzling in-deed! :)

Puzzles

L'atrito

L Attrito

Tonight, at all the bars

Could it be that we are in the afterlife?
Only lies and malice hold reality together.
A town where it never rains and 
a town that no longer needs rain.

Tonight, at all the closed-down bars.
The ghosts may curse the future.

Another name for the network is chaos.
Entropy is on the verge of runaway.
A view we've never seen before and 
a view we don't need to see anymore.

Tonight, at all the closed-down bars.
The ghosts may mourn themselves.

We're queuing up in front of the closed door.
Unfortunately, no one knows why.
Could it be that we are in the afterlife?
None of the people on the street were breathing.

Tonight, at all the closed-down bars.
The ghosts may curse the future.

Tonight, at all the closed-down bars.
The ghosts may mourn themselves.

Tonight, at all the bars

This is my favoritest piece.

Bach wrote this as part of the 3 third Violin Partita BWV 1006.  

The version I play has some added counter melodies known as 1006a.  This version is most commonly played on guitar.  

I believe this piece reflects perfectly the creation of the universe.  Both the big bang theory and the biblical account.  It starts on a low E.  Then Bach arpeggiates the E chord.  Then we get E scales.  Then crazier scales.  Soon we moves to keys further away from E.  I believe each piece by Bach is itself a tiny universe.  Most of Bach's Fugues are as complex as our own universe.  I suppose all pieces of music are tiny worlds, but none resemble our own as much as Bach's music in my opinion.

read by lady of fire poetry

Excerpt from "The Prophet" by Kahlil Gibran

Then Almitra spoke, saying, We would ask now of Death.
     And he said:
     You would know the secret of death.
     But how shall you find it unless you seek it in the heart of life?
     The owl whose night-bound eyes are blind unto the day cannot unveil the mystery of light.
     If you would indeed behold the spirit of death, open your heart wide unto the body of life.
     For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one.

     In the depth of your hopes and desires lies your silent knowledge of the beyond;
     And like seeds dreaming beneath the snow your heart dreams of spring.
     Trust the dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.
     Your fear of death is but the trembling of the shepherd when he stands before the king whose hand is to be laid upon him in honour.
     Is the shepherd not joyful beneath his trembling, that he shall wear the mark of the king?
     Yet is he not more mindful of his trembling?

     For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun?
     And what is it to cease breathing, but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered?

     Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing.
     And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb.
     And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.

Waiting
