My thanks to Wodwo for sharing a superb piece with me from which this track is built.

Ghost (in the) Machine - featuring Wodwo

Tara the Feisty Half-Pint ~ تارا شیطونک نیم وجبی

Composed by me for my then 3 year old daughter back in 2014. Came across the track today and decided to master it to see if it sounded any better. I hope you enjoy this little polyphonic dubstep ditty. 

Recorded @ Pahlavi Sound Studios, Los Angeles, CA, USA 03/2014

Program notes:
This piece is about the distance between musical events and the difficulties posed in making connections between them. However, connections between them still somehow exist. They have to be searched for, invented, discovered. There is something disturbing in that process, but also calming. In the second part of the piece I use a text that I wrote, which gives the listeners new opportunities for constructing the flow of the music and deciphering its meaning. 

Text: 

What if we meet and I fall in love?
What if we meet and we don’t like each other?
What if we meet and we like each other 
so much, that we can not 
breathe? 

What if we meet and you start to hate me?
What if we meet and you are boring to me?
What if we meet and I seem old to you?
What if we meet and you like me more?
What if we meet and I like you more?
What if we meet and you fuck me 
so hard, that I don’t wanna
talk? 

What if we meet and I don’t like your smell?
What if we meet and you’re  not impressed 
with my body?
What if we meet and you say something wrong 
something stupid 
something cruel? 
What if we meet and you scare me?
What if we meet and we don’t understand 
each other?

What if we meet and it’s raining 
so heavily
that we have to stay inside and fuck 
all the time
and hug all the time
and talk all the time?

What if we meet and it’s sunny 
so beautiful
that we have to kiss on the grass 
all the time
hide from other people all the time
smile at each other 
all the time?

What if we meet and I hate the way you smoke 
the way you walk
the way you’re touching me?

What if we meet and you don’t like my thoughts, 
my worlds, my colors of the 
rainbow?
What if we meet and we realize that we 
are two different galaxies?
What if we meet and I feel that I’m not 
enough for you?

What if we meet and it gets awkward? 
What if we meet and I get anxious?
What if we meet and you faint?
What if we meet and …? 
                ………
                ……
                 ….
What if we never meet?
