Very well painted and organic additions. It seems as if they were always meant to be there. And thanks for the definition of Meta-Music. This is always the case, whether or not it is apparent.

The original guitar improvisation is now changed by some added synthesiser. 

***
This is what I wrote about the piece seven years ago: Around midnight, stuck in this fancy bar by a forest path, we ended up having this long conversation about songs we used to like, now distant songs ... You know, you can do this really well, in a kind of ping-pong manner, each song you name trumping or complementing the former, moving up and up and up, while trying to keep the flow going...
A week later this improvisation materialised and seemed like a pertinent comment. It still does.

Meta-Music? Well, sometimes a piece is more about other music than 'resting in itself'. Perhaps this is a case in point.

Only just a picture like some long-forgotten dream
Somehow… still a memory …” of something…used to be”
Daddy saved this moment …
me there on your lap …just a lad
Only just a picture … but sometimes …sometimes I go back

Mom, you had so much ahead, and I had all of mine
Didn’t know, back then how much… you’d mean, in my life
That picture’s worn and torn …from all the times
I tried in vain… to return
Only just a picture … but sometimes, I’m right there… with her

They say you can’t go back…then how’d I get to here?
Time and place, collide again, we travel through the years
Daddy took that picture …like some long-forgotten song
They say you can’t go home again…
maybe they’re all “wrong”
Only just a picture … but somehow …sometimes I go back

We all have stacks of memories…family, friends, and such
Life’s mysteries, broken dreams, first times we made love
Only pictures, …only just a picture

First time that I saw that girl, took a picture in my mind
Promised her I’d write a song, the moment I had time
Her hair a flowing rhyme, …
her eyes they captured mine, and all of that
It’s only just a memory … but sometimes …sometimes I go back

They say you can’t go back… most times that seems right
Raining now in Frisco… Sierra … drowns in dry
But, I still ‘member Jackson Hole, you on your downhill run
Me, just waitin’ by the fire,
Writin’ one more song… about my love
They say you can’t go back… but those words, …remember you so much

They say you can’t go back …then how’d I get to here?
Time and place, collide again, we travel through the years
Only, just a picture …only just a song
They say you can’t go back again …maybe they’re all “wrong”
Only just a picture … but sometimes …
sometimes I go back / sometimes I go back
So… glad they’re saved ...remembering …Today
my “polaroid slideshows”
our “kodak memories” ….pictures

our needs adapted to an accelerating world.

immediate solution, we want it now, right away.

sped up relationships are just blurry frames through the window.

the deeper meaning of "how are you" remains a secret forever.

when there is not time for love to grow old

Time heals the wounds but does not give opportunity to love to be completed

The Love That Never Grows Old

F-Frozen Crystal Beach

The Unicorn in Captivity is a new musical piece that filled my spirit whilst viewing the massive and breathtaking medieval tapestry of the same name at the Met Cloisters in New York City. The tapestry is dated to circa 1495-1505 and is originally from the Netherlands. I have always been deeply in love and wholly fascinated with all things medieval, and this music is a direct product of this. The tapestry in person is quite esoteric and seems to radiate an ethereal and mystical energy. I almost felt as if I lost consciousness briefly whilst feasting upon it... or perhaps it simply transported me to a different time and place. In this new musical work, I have simply given the themes and harmonies that flowed through my heart that day as I first met the tapestry known as, "The Unicorn in Captivity..." In a way, I suppose a piece of my soul will always be linked with this ancient work of art now... I hope you all enjoy this music and its unique mystical beauty. Finally, I ask you all... what do you see? What does my music make you feel???

Lyrics:

I closed up all the shades
to block out yesterday then I
locked up all the doors
that welcomed you

Now your gone
I can see what is lost
so I'm no more in the middle of jealousy
Now your gone

I woke up in a daze
then washed my thoughts away and I
sat in your old place
where you once belonged

Now your gone
I can see what is lost
now I'm no longer little I found my feet
Now your gone

I'll be who I wanna be (I can do all that I want)
and I'll see who I wanna see (I can do all that I want)
I'll live in a masterpiece ( I can do all that I want)
up high in a fantasy (I can do all that I want)

I'll be who I wanna be (I can do all that I want)
and I'll see who I wanna see (I can do all that I want)
I'll live in a masterpiece ( I can do all that I want)
up high in an apple tree (I can do all that I want)

Now your gone
I can see what is lost
now I'm no longer little I found my feet
Now your gone

Now Your Gone

Welcome! If you stick around a bit, you'll find some sketchy sketches of a looping guitarist, interested in minimal music, jazz, fusion etc.
 
I wish I would have thought of saying the following about me, but it was Robert Fripp, and he seems to have had himself in mind: “Music so wishes to be heard that it sometimes calls on unlikely characters to give it voice.”

Oh, and you might wonder why I call my sketches "meta-music". Well, since I am always inspired by others,  I think of my improvisations as music *about other music*, thus meta-music.
