'Almost real

Why is there nothing rather than something? 
Why is there something rather than nothing? 
They say ‘knowledge that something is actually true 
is compatible with ignorance as to how it could be true.’ 
No thing, non-thing, the absence of a something
nonexistence, niente. Reductio ad absurdum 
in the maze of doubts.
Il nulla is subjectively unacceptable.

But what’s almost real quotes the third landscape.
It entices us to browse through the wreckage
of visibility. Leftovers from passages that no one
had the rashness to venture.
Whereas the straw, bland and ditched, avails
scarecrows and stuffed chairs.
These deeds of the might-be
stare out of people’s eyes and gnaw at us.

All of me wanted all of it. 
All of me surrendered.'

What If I were to just disappear?

Rainbowing Rework By Henrik Meierkord of Marco Lucchi

While working on this assignment, I found out once again how incredibly hard it is to do very little: Since music for meditation should allow for emptying the mind. It should not distract. And yet, there should be something there that helps one get into a spiritual, contemplative mood, let any thoughts pass and then, a state of non-thinking, of pure presence.

As a consequence, music for this purpose should/can have several properties:

Modal - which allows a stable, calm state of mind

Quietness and space - making sure the music doesn't overwhelm, neither by quantity nor by information overload

Far-eastern sound connotations - As in many "spiritual" purpose-made music releases, this seems to aid obtaining a certain mood, often by raga-type sounds, or sounds that get used in "puja" ceremonies in India (and heard in yoga/spiritual paraphernalia shops all over in places such as Rishikesh).


Since all of these are optional anyway - and are cliché-ridden on top of that -- I chose to simply use an electric guitar, for drone-like sounds, and after considering sitar-like moves, opted against those (for reasons of economy). Everything got recorded into Logic Pro, with generous helpings of delay and reverb, obviously.
I layered six guitar tracks (plus one track for the chime) on top of each other and tried for them not to get into each others' way too much, to allow for the composition to consist of very little information.
Enjoy your meditation!

Track note: It can be said that this track just happened, as ordinary events in life happen. I rode the train and was alone in the compartment. Taking advantage of the moment, I pulled out recording devices and captured the rustle of the night road, the waves of oncoming trains, the silence of small stations. Then at home, I played some music: a tambourine and drums, bass, guitar, keys.

The city and the road are two aggregate, almost palindromic, states of the same element, same movement, same stillness, same dream is out of sight. The language of the city sounds like the rustling of trains. The sound of a train is an internal dialogue between cities, stopped in a fast night timelessness.
