Recently I remembered something important.

Back in high school, a piano major who had just graduated from a music college came to teach music for three months.

Her specialty was Rachmaninoff—a composer known for his technically demanding works—and she often practiced his pieces between classes.

Her playing was something you could never experience through a CD—it was powerful, raw, and real.

From delicate high notes like gentle rain to thunderous lows that shook the room, I realized just how expressive and magnificent the piano could be.

That sound became a lifelong challenge for me—something I still strive to emulate.

This piece is dedicated to that memory—it’s a reimagined piano version of a work I shared previously.

THEY’LL NEVER GET IT
Ooooh-ooooh-ooooh
V1
Some people just can’t be helped
Pulling teeth, there’s just no use
Some people are too far gone
You just gotta cut ‘em loose

CHORUS
They’ll never get it
So, just forget it
It’s not worth wastin’ your breath
They’ll never get it
Forget you said it
Tho’ it be life-or-death

Ooooh-ooooh-ooooh, Ooooh-ooooh-ooooh

V2
The truth is a lonely place
So many lovers of the lies
Fitting in, you never could
There’s no need to agonize

CHORUS
They’ll never get it
So, just forget it
It’s not worth wastin’ your breath
They’ll never get it
Forget you said it
Tho’ it be life-or-death

Ooooh-ooooh-ooooh, Ooooh-ooooh-ooooh
Ooooh-ooooh-ooooh, Ooooh-ooooh-ooooh

V1 REPEATS
Some people just can’t be helped
Pulling teeth, there’s just no use
Some people are too far gone
You just gotta cut ‘em loose – 
Just cut ‘em loose, ooooh-ooooh-ooooh

CHORUS
They’ll never get it
So, just forget it
It’s not worth wastin’ your breath
They’ll never get it
Forget you said it
Tho’ it be life-or-death
Life or death
We all choose
We all choose..ooooh-ooooh-ooooh

THEY’LL NEVER GET IT

Sideways

Hearing shots again
What can be done?
Sometimes it feels
like there is no room for reason.

In the days of punk
'79
Wine and dine, all seemed fine 
but times were changing

  Sideways down the slope
  Sliding into the rope

They pawned the truth out
and bartered the facts
These moodswings hit me sideways
no happy ending these days.

Cover my back, wipe the tracks
It seems wise, 
not to blow 
this disguise yet 

  Sideways down the slope 
  Sliding into the rope 

You cancel me
I cancel you
what we're gonna do now?
try to get out somehow

Fingers crossed
hope for the best
but prepare for the worst
in these present troubled times

  Scattershots matter not
  Sideways down the slope
  Sliding into the rope

Sideways

Why the AI Race - Just Blame the Algo (Our Fear of Randomness and Mortality)

Hello…. So who is Darwin the cat… really? I suppose just an old recluse like me. An older cat who I was tasked with cat-sitting this summer. Initially, I never saw him. Ha. Then one day, he appeared out of nowhere and we became best buds. He became talkative and encouraged me to ask him about life. I would ask him something and he would tell me all about it. So of course here’s a song about our shenanigans. A simple song. Ukulele, vox, and some finger-tapping keyboard percussion. In other news, tiny chickadees have been following me around the yard when I water, and a new generation of rabbits hang out near the small patches of red clover I planted around the yard... They stretch out and relax in the shade during the day. I laugh at them. The raccoon(s) come through late at night, and sometimes I hear them scream, which does sound weirdly unnerving. A hawk is in and about hunting the yard for small birds and whatnot. The birds in the yard, head into the spruce tree branches where the hawk cannot go. I built a small branch wall around the fire ant mound back by the compost pile, as someone keeps digging into it, maybe the coons or possibly flickers trying to get at the larvae. Now the mound is really built up as the ant colony has worked feverishly to rebuild it. That particular ant colony has been here for decades. Plenty of apples and wild plums now, so I have to be alert when going outside late at night, as maybe the bear will return in the midst of hyperphagia, to gorge on the apples. There were some deer here briefly as well. I have begun autumn chores in preparation for the long winter here and have taken to eating apples and plums from the trees, as I take a break from my chores. I could be a bear… hahahahaha. And of course, I’m getting old(er), more forgetful, and wondering what the future holds in store. Hope you’re all well. Thanks for dropping by, Mark 

Darwin And The Evolution Of Catharsis

„Du gibst mir alles“

These are sounds made by the dehumidifier, recorded with a Zoom H4n, in the practice studio, in the Summer of 2010.

The only modifications of the sound I made were fade-ins and fade-outs, and normalisation at -0.5 dB.  The volumes were all relatively high before I normalised so very little was changed.

Manifesto

We Declare:

    That the suffering in Gaza is not a distant conflict but a wound in the conscience of humanity.

    That silence and political games by so-called Western defenders of democracy are betrayal incarnate.

    That art, music, and truth must tear through walls of apathy, breaking chains with sound and spirit.

    That to remain silent is to support the erasure of life itself.

    That we rise—voices united, hearts aflame—to amplify those crushed under siege, to shatter the walls of oppression.

    That every beat, every echo, every lyric becomes a rebellion against forgetting.

    That through collective awakening, we reclaim not just Gaza’s future but the soul of humanity.

"NOTHING UNDER THE SUN IS NOT PART OF CREATION, NOR IS IT NOT CREATION ITSELF—IT'S ONLY WHAT YOU MAKE IT. NO JUDGES, NO DIVIDES—UNITY."

"NOTHING UNDER THE SUN IS NOT PART OF CREATION, NOR IS IT NOT CREATION ITSELF—IT'S ONLY WHAT YOU MAKE IT. NO JUDGES, NO DIVIDES—UNITY."

1. Philosophical and Metaphysical Context

This phrase operates on a profound metaphysical premise rooted in ancient and modern spiritual thought: the idea that everything within existence ("under the sun") is inherently part of creation, yet simultaneously defies a simple binary of "creation" and "non-creation." The double negation — “is not not part” and “is not not creation” — serves as a dialectical device emphasizing paradox rather than straightforward affirmation or denial.

Nothing exists outside creation’s domain. All that "is" is both a part and a reflection of the creative whole — but perhaps creation is not a static “thing.”

It touches on panentheism or even non-dualism, suggesting creation transcends our binary modes of thought.

In this sense, the phrase challenges rigid ontologies. It rejects compartmentalization — what we consider ‘created’ vs. ‘uncreated’ is a false dichotomy.

2. Existential and Constructivist Overtones

The clause “It’s only what you make it” signifies a turn from metaphysical absolutes to personal agency and interpretation.

Creation is not a fixed category but a creative, subjective, and participatory process.

Reality is texturized by human meaning-making — your perception, actions, and judgments shape what ‘is.’

This brings in vibes of existentialism and constructivism, affirming our power and responsibility in shaping the world and imbuing it with meaning.

3. The Ethics of Judgment and Division

“No judges, no divides” strikes a moral and social chord:

It calls for radical acceptance — no external or internal authority imposes judgment.

It opposes division, sectarianism, or exclusion based on arbitrary or prejudiced distinctions.
This has echoes of universalist humanism and inclusive ethics, a plea for unity beyond fractured identities, labels, or separations.

4. Final Summation: Unity as a Creational Ethos

The closing refrain “UNITY” serves as the conceptual apex:
Unity is not merely a formal condition but an existential and creational ethos, holding the paradoxical unity of all existence despite apparent differences or judgments.
It is a call to embrace multiplicity without fragmentation — wholeness that contains diversity.

Style and Rhetoric

Paradox and Double Negatives: The use of double negatives (“not not”) is daring and poetic, evoking the style of Zen koans or 
Hegelian dialectics — prompting reflection rather than offering a direct statement. It challenges the reader to dwell in ambiguity and complexity.

Capitalization and Punctuation: The em dash creates dramatic pauses, underscoring the key thematic shifts; the capitalized “UNITY” acts as a powerful, summative slogan or mantra.

Economy of Words: Despite its complexity, the phrase remains succinct, poetic, and emphatic—a hallmark of impactful philosophical proclamations.

Cultural & Literary Resonances

Biblical Allusions: “Under the sun” recalls the Book of Ecclesiastes, with its contemplations on the nature of existence. This embeds the phrase within a long tradition of existential inquiry.

Contemporary Spirituality: The phrase resonates with New Age and postmodern spiritual ideas emphasizing non-duality, co-creation, and global unity.

Political and Social Dimensions: In a world segmented by ideologies and conflicts, “no judges, no divides” can serve as a subtle political manifesto for peace and acceptance.
