Name: 02 Mauna Kea Meditation by James Kimo West
Duration: 5 min 1 s
Description: Kimo's seventh CD is a multi-genre collection of original material that focuses on his exotic open tunings and silky technique.

This Maori Waiata/Song/Soundscape refers to the Eastern Bar-tailed Godwits and their annual return to Northland, New Zealand, This journey is also a symbol of our own travels and homecomings. Godwits fly the longest migratory route from NZ to Asia, then on to Alaska, then back again. In spiritual terms, the Maori People believe the spirit upon death follows the same pathway home to Hawaiki. At first leaping from the cliff face  at the  tip of Cape Reinga, to meet with the underworld at Hawaiki, where the spirits and ancestors reside.

Wind #2 - A poem by Bill Manhire 

a wind goes out over the fields
a shadow grows where I touch you
what is this distance? 
whose hand is quietly waving?

A poem by Bill Manhire 
Music Composition, Guitar & Voice by Adair Bruce

Love Poem

There is no question of choice
but it takes a long time
Loves vacancies
The eye and cavity
Track back to embraces
Where the spine bends and quietens
Like smoke in the earth
Your tongue, touching on song
Darkens all song
Your touch, is almost a signature

(There is no question of choice
but it takes a long time.)
