TALKING HANDS / TALKING FEET, “Natural sound…”

'The Hearts of the Suns' is a progressive psychedelic rock piece inspired by themes from Genesis, Matching Mole, and Pink Floyd, particularly drawing influence from tracks like "Echoes," "Time," "Careful with That Axe, Eugene" and "One of These Days" - the collaborative work of the great Nick Mason. 

Infused with elements of jazz and big band music, Mason's innovative approach involved the use of acoustic drums (both single- and double-headed), tuned percussion, electronic drums, and Rototoms, seamlessly blending these diverse elements into a harmonious whole.

Mason's drumming style set him apart with a gentler and more laid-back approach compared to other progressive rock drummers of the time. "The Hearts of the Suns" serves as a tribute to his unique contributions and musical legacy.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
The track's tunes are inspired from David Joseph Bohm, a prominent scientist, stands as one of the most influential theoretical physicists of the 20th century. His unconventional ideas left a lasting imprint on quantum theory, neuropsychology, and the philosophy of the mind. His profound insights fundamentally altered my perspective on life and death.

He once remarked, "The ability to perceive or think differently is more important than the knowledge gained. In some sense, man is a microcosm of the universe;  therefore, what man is, is a clue to the universe. We are enfolded in the universe." 
'The Hearts Of The Suns' is a sonic exploration echoing his profound views.

Thanks for listening!

The Hearts Of The Suns

“Man kann sagen, dass der Faschismus der alten Kunst zu lügen gewissermaßen eine neue Variante hinzugefügt hat - die teuflischste Variante, die man sich denken kann - nämlich: das Wahrlügen."

Hannah Arendt

A draft text for a Symposium / Dialogue Circle on Fascism as a species of human behavior from a natural historical perspective, and from the wider circle of consciousness as whole.

There is enough material here for a full year of reading, discussion, debate, and dialogue.
