Orion - Nebula (Outro)

I missed a beat
But landed in a new song 
How much better than this can it get
How did I get here
I don’t really know
it doesn’t really matter
Now  you’re here by my side
I lie here in your arms
Both Lost and at home
The universe is calling us
So we answer with this love
No need  to repeat
My old life is long gone
The Universe is calling us
So we answer with this love

The Universe Is Calling

Improv, Dorset 2011

A track very close to my heart!!! Close your eyes and listen!

NJAN STEVE LOPEZE(Original Composition)

You fired an arrow
At my unprotected heart 
And It Found a willing target
Fanned the embers 
Of my sleeping love
Blew away the ashes 
And Brought me to my knees

And I woke up 
In a brand   new world
It Looked pretty 
Pretty much the same
Our roles reversed 
Improvise  a shuffle dance
With Love at the centre
And you standing Next to me

But nothing goes down
Without a little fighting
Some regrets 
Yet To be redefined 
I know it will be a long time
Before you can understand 

I fall into your arms
Lose myself in you 
Let out a long exhale 
home 
Home at last
And if I've learned anything 
It's you can't second guess love

You Can't Second Guess Love (Demo)

On the occasion of the independence days of both subcontinental countries, this is a violin and piano arrangement of the Gujarati bhajan, Vaishnava Janato (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaishnava_Jana_To)

Written in the 15th century by the poet Narsinh Mehta in the Gujarati language. The bhajan was included in Mahatma Gandhi’s daily prayer

Vaishnava Janato

Ever since I was born
I've been falling through space
My feet will never touch the ground
Not Until my dying day 
Once there was a desperation
Trying to grab hold
Take control
The more I resisted
The greater the pain
And what I hated persisted
I look down and only see
The unfathomable
Fear holding its arms wide open  as if to catch me
But now my energy is spent
I've failed hopelessly
In every endeavour to control 
In every resolution to be better
I am no exception
We are all falling together
Why do some fall with peace 
Written across their face, you ask
They've realised the secret
let go 
Open your heart to love
fall into grace

it's here that suffering ends

And life finally begins

Falling Through Space

Walking Into A New Life

'Your task is not to seek for love, but merely seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it" Rumi

The Mysterious Barricades

My aim with (neo)- psychedelia
Is to be free of formal song structures. 
To allow emotions, both dark and light, to express themselves and reveal deeper images and messages from the subconscious and from soul. (Soul inspired music btw is not always pretty and polite)
I like to create atmospheres in which to hang out for a time
No barriers so I can then hybridise with other genres
I'm open to everything from Bach to Billy Idol (excepting Strauss waltzes and fairground organs... however I'm open to persuasion)
Hopefully to surprise and to disorientate. To use minimalist repeating phrases which build and give a hypnotic vibe or groove
Psychedelia teaches us that there is no rush, it's not the end that matters it's the process of getting there, that is my true goal
But I also bear in mind the imperative to be relevant 
The late 60's early 70's gave us so many great musical gifts (Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Frank Zappa etc the list is very long) and I for one am happy to keep unwrapping them
I highly value improvisation and jamming (but I have a no noodling policy). Instrumental music has a vocabulary of emotions with which I'm always mindful that there is a story encoded. 
I always record the first take as this is where magic, beyond the mind, can instantly emerge. An out of key, "mistake" is redefined as an accidental note or a borrowed chord a "surprise" and can liberate the piece from predictability. A degree of disharmony and musical tension are often necessary within a piece so that the subsequent release into harmony and joy is a highlighted sense of relief and spaciousness 
It's not so much about striving for technical perfection, it's about first and foremost serving the song.
I love that a piece can literally emerge from the tone of a single note, lightly asking "I wonder where this will take me?"
This keeps me guessing and ever curious 
In musical flow states, I am sometimes transcended into subtler realms of spirit. I've met some of my muses there... it can be very ecstatic 
Life on this planet, when observed for long enough, consists of periods of challenge leading to more settled blissful states... but one can only ever acknowledge these and keep on moving through, cycle after cycle.
Sometimes the pain and the bliss are simultaneous.
Psychedelia is here to remind us, usually with a mixture of compassion and gentle non insistent wisdom, that we are all equally valid and as important as one another.
The generation of this music doesn't require me to be in any specific state, prior to playing, in order to engage with it.
