*******************************
Pick apart 
The pieces of your heart 
And let me peer inside
 Let me in
Where only your thoughts have been 
Let me occupy your mind
As you do mine

You have lost
 Too much love
To fear, doubt and distrust
 (It’s not enough)
You just threw away the key 
To your heart
You don’t get burned
 (’Cause nothing gets through)
It makes it easier
(Easier on you)
But that much more difficult for me
To make you see…

Love ain’t fair
So there you are
My love

Your heart’s a mess
You won’t admit to it
It makes no sense 
But I’m desperate to connect 
And you, you can’t live like this


Love ain’t safe
You won’t get hurt if you stay chaste
So you can wait
But I don’t wanna waste my love

LACUL
Mihai Eminescu, Romania 1876

Lacul codrilor albastru 
Nuferi galbeni îl încarcă;
Tresărind în cercuri albe 
El cutremură o barcă.

Şi eu trec de-a lung de maluri, 
Parc-ascult şi parc-aştept 
Ea din trestii să răsară 
Şi să-mi cadă lin pe piept;

Să sărim în luntrea mică, 
Îngânaţi de glas de ape, 
Şi să scap din mână cârma, 
Şi lopeţile să-mi scape;

Să plutim cuprinşi de farmec
Sub lumina blândei lune 
Vântu-n trestii lin foşnească, 
Unduioasa apă sune!

Dar nu vine... Singuratic 
În zadar suspin şi sufăr 
Lângă lacul cel albastru 
Încărcat cu flori de nufăr. 


-English translation by Corneliu M. Popescu-
THE FOREST POOL

Upon the forest pool's deep blue
Golden petalled lilies float: 
Circling silver ripples play 
Around an ancient rowing-boat.

I pass along the sloping bank, 
I pause to listen, lost in dreams; 
I see Her rise among the reeds,
She stretches out her arms it seems.

And hand-in-hand we leap aboard, 
Charmed by the water's tiny childe; 
The rudder strings slip from my grasp, 
The oars into the water slide.

To float away wrapped in love 
Beneath the kindly summer moon, 
While 'midst the rushes breathes the wind 
And endlessly the ripples croon.

But it is dream, she does not come, 
And vainly do I moan and weep 
Beside the dark blue forest pool 
On which gold-petalled lilies sleep.

A medley of a few great tunes about the most premium city in the Ukraine, Odessa! Recorded during our rehearsal on 12/29/11

In Ades Medley (In Odessa)

might be a bit empty, but I like the feel of this one..

Cosmo extended tweak

Another track from the cutting room floor of Sawdust.  Slightly reworked for the Rainbow gig, but not mixed or mastered properly :)

araucaria redone (fiddling 2)

One of a few dozen tracks (all only partially finished) that I made for the Rainbow Serpent show which didn't really fit the style.  

Generally, given time I'll just make heaps of music with a feeling in mind - a lot of the time this results in tangential works-in-progress like this one that, whilst inappropriate still contain something I enjoy enough to not simply delete them.

Pensive mobius ribula

This is another of the rapidly made tunes for the Rainbow Serpent gig - it basically sticks to the theme and doesn't diverge nearly as much as I normally like but is quite a good jump off point for something else.

comments from me (as with other tracks here) are mostly notes to self/dancers in the days before the gig

I Cash Radii (extension for Rainbow)

2nd album by Brass Menažeri, the San Francisco area's original and hottest Balkan Brass Band ~ http://www.brassmenazeri.com

Vranjski San. (Vranje Dream) showcases the collective's exuberant, road-tightened, impeccably recorded sound and repertoire of traditional Balkan music with songs in Rromanes, Bosnian and Greek languages complemented by original compositions and Indian rhythms. Brazen arrangements, odd meters, riveting close harmonies are as alive with ecstatic celebration as with despairing laments, and are as old as mournful Ottoman-era melodies and as new as America's funk and Bollywood movie hits. Far from being a museum piece or a re-creation effort, Vranjski San is a piece of 21st century international music brought to you from the burgeoning Bay Area arts scene by Brass Menažeri and Porto Franco Records.

Featuring Avishai Barnatan on flute lines and Laura Taggart and Shai shriki on additional instrumentation. Produced by Temple Step.

Distant Temple

This track was started in a Temple, with the faciliation of the mother vine. Its flow takes the listener through the shamanic process of the dark challenges of life into opening to the light and coming out into what is beyond. Featuring Amir Piass and Zoriaan on vocals

Lyrics:
The River of Bliss that flows from the Healing Heart 
Who knows its Origin? 
A Spring that is giving Life, 
No-thingness, 
Home of the Whole 

and in hebrew: 

נהר האושר הזורם מן הלב הרופא 
מי ידע מקורו ? 
,מעיין נותן חיים 
,אין 
בית השלם

Heart of the Whole

This track marked the beginning of the Temple Step Project. It was recreated 3 times before its birth. This track features the beautiful voice and oud playing of Shai Shriki.
