Study For Wet Glass And Feedback

I'm digging a grave and I'm dying
Letting go and giving up
A being, immersed in shadows
Transforming into ashes

Can anybody hear me? 
Is there anyone there who can save me? 
God, I'm falling... 

Crawling around in stinking soil....
I've got mud up to my ears
My inner Gethsemane, my garden of thorns
God, what have I become? 

A change is coming
From the ashes, from the dust
A change is coming... 

Black is the star in the mirrors of my soul
Dark is the flame reflecting from the depths and it glows... 
In the dead of night... 


I travel into the unknown
I go into the night
Into a realm without no meaning
Into the space between two worlds

In a dream inside a dream
A lifetime in a drop of water
I was not the me, and he was not the man

Behind shadows behind veils, behind illusions knowing this to shall past
I was not the me, and he was not the man

A change is coming
From the ashes, from the dust
A change is coming... 

Black is the star in the mirrors of my soul
Dark is the flame reflecting from the depths and it burns... 
In the dead of night... 
I'm digging up my grave
In the cold dark night of the soul
I'm digging up my grave

Allure

Literature is a major influence on my music.  As a boy, in the 1960s, I read cowboy novels by Zane Grey (1872 - 1939), e.g. "Riders of the Purple Sage", but no other Westerns until recently.

In April 2023, I'd just finished reading "Butcher's Crossing" by John Williams, which spurred this composition. The novel is set mainly in Colorado and has many highly visual passages. This is one of them. A young man forgets to wear his improvised buffalo-hide eye slits (1870s tech) after a huge blizzard and temporarily loses his sight. His eyes don't recover for many hours, giving rise to much internal anguish as to what his life as a totally blind man might be thereafter.

The piece uses a blues scale to give that North American feel.

Snowblind

I wonder occasionally if using various effects on instruments and the digital processing of sound ion general is not some kind of mind-altering substance or like a drug. So I am toying with the idea of calling the album I recorded rather spontaneously on May 18th, "Under the Influence of Latency".  The fact of the moment was some issue with my soundcard. Rather than pull out the tool-kit, I decided to let the latency take me where it listeth. Been listening to the resultant 7 tracks thinking in might be a go for a full album. Time will tell.
