SHARK FINS & GOSSAMER

not all those who wander are lost...  same goes for the mind.   we can wander inside of ourselves, and sometimes get lost in there...  the tracks in this playlist are for those in need to being transported somewhere better...  somewhere beautiful, inspiring...  or back in time, to a special place, a certain face...  a scent.   i have found these tracks to be rather mesmerising, haunting, moving.  i hope you enjoy this journey...  If you do, please visit the artist's page and show them a lot of love.  thank you x

Opportunism (Eden Young & Going Loopy)

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.

Hmm not sure really. Make your own mind up!

Want It

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.
