Piano piece series played via a photograph to a friend. 
Though for this album I chose ones who remain anonymous.
Varying in tempo, mood, tonality and intensity. 
Flowing and vivifying expressive piano.
As if a remote prayer for the well being of the receiver, and for you.

sound art for disquiet0683.

I find it intriguing that reverberating objects create the sonic illusion of a large space. It’s like they have a hidden inner space that can only be expressed through sound.

I’ve kept things as minimal as possible. No effects, no EQing. Just two channels.

Left channel - reverberant sound sculpture made with various metal objects screwed to a piece of wood and played with a soft piano hammer. The contact mic is attatched to a part of the sculpture at a distance from the part being struck.

Right channel - glass prism rolled around a dented metal lid. The lid is dampened by hand and the contact mic is attatched directly onto the lid.

Inner Space

There’s an emotional depth that emerges without words—allowing each listener to interpret the music through their own personal lens. A perfect soundtrack for moments of introspection, Veil of Thoughts invites you to lose yourself in the silence between each note.



VEIL OF THOUGHT

float through this ds soundscape — a three-panel portal into hidden dimensions.
the outer world is calm: soft skies, green earth, and silence.
but in the space between, something ancient pulses… sacred geometry, light, memory.

this mysterious space ambience is designed to guide you into stillness, wonder, and imagination.
ideal for studying, dreaming, journaling, or quietly existing in the unknown.

what lives in the space between

[Sea of Light]　〜光の海へ
　
　Sea of light      thoughts resound
　光の海へ　　　  想いが響いていく
　
　Ripples weave      self and other unbound
　波紋は編まれて　　自己と全てはほどけていく
　
　
Flickering sparks, in the sky they gleam
揺らめく火花が　空に輝く
　
Eternal lake, memories stream
永遠の湖に　記憶が流れていく
　
Each star a breath, a distant mind
星々は息吹のよう。　遠くの意識が
　
Echoes left from what’s behind
残響となって押し寄せてくる
　
Mist of self, a silent flame
自己は霧のようでも　静かな炎でもある
　
Each thought, a thread without a name
それぞれの想いは　名も無い糸
　
So close we are, and yet so far
こんなに近くにいながら　こんなにも遠い
　
Why can’t we see just what we are?
なぜ私たちは　本当の私たちを見られないのだろう？
　
　
　Sea of light      thoughts resound
　光の海へ　　　  想いが響いていく
　
　Ripples weave      self and other unbound
　波紋は編まれて　　私と全てはほどけていく
　
　
Joy and sorrow softly blend
喜びと悲しみが優しく溶けあう
　
Light and shadow never end
光と影は永遠にくり返す
　
Past and future, stilled in now
過去と未来は　現在となる
　
With the bow, our choices rise somehow
弓を引けば　私たちの選択が見えてくる
　
Why can’t we feel what’s always near?
いつもそばにあるはずなのに　なぜ感じられないのだろう？
　
We’re bound—yet lost in silent fear
私たちは繋がっているのに　静かな恐怖で迷子となる
　
One path glows, thoughts transcend
輝く道が見えて　想いは超越する
　
With the bow, our will ascends
私たちの想いは　弓に放たれる
　
　
　Sea of light      thoughts resound
　光の海へ　　　  想いが響いていく
　
　Ripples weave      self and other unbound
　波紋は編まれて　　私と全ては解き放たれる
　
　
Beyond the sky—still waves of the lake
空の彼方　湖は静かに揺らぐ
　
All our thoughts begin to break
私たちの想いはほどけはじめる
　
Into one, we softly stay
ひとつとなり　そっと留まる
　
Why we're here... a luminous way
なぜここにいるのか　それは光の道のなかへ
　
We were never born, nor meant to die
私たちは生まれたわけでもなく　死ぬこともない
　
We simply are—no need to ask why
ただここにいる　もう問う必要はない
　
A bow releases the light we send
私たちが放った矢は光の筋となり
　
We walk the path it draws, to the end
その描かれた道を歩み続ける
　
　
　Sea of light      thoughts resound
　光の海へ　　　  想いが響いていく
　
　Ripples weave      self and other unbound
　波紋は編まれて　　私と全てはほどけていく
　
　
　Sea of light      thoughts resound
　光の海へ　　　  想いが響いていく
　
　Ripples weave      self and other unbound
　波紋は編まれて　　自己と全ては解き放たれる
　
　
　
Sea of Light
　
Sound dissolves.
Words blur.
Even time begins to ripple.
All in hope of meeting someone —
not through meaning,
but through resonance.
A spoken poem.
A gentle vibration.
A journey between consciousness and stillness.

[Sea of Light] 〜光の海へ

I have been doing music for the past 15 years. Over the years, I’ve played in various rock, metal, and folk bands, gaining diverse musical experience. I also create my own original songs and instrumental compositions. In addition to performing, I work as a guitar and bass instructor, helping others grow their musical skills.

MUSIC BIOGRAPHY

Lawrence Ball is a versatile and innovative composer who has a multiple focus as a composer,improviser and audio-visual creator. He has collaborated with healers, therapists and counsellors as well as writing for dance, film, orchestra,and choir and is as much at home writing a score as creating electronic or computer music. In 2017 he completed his 6th Symphony. He collaborated with Pete Townshend and software engineer Dave Snowdon on the Method Music project, designing music software for a web server which generated over 10000 musical pieces - 'portraits' - over the internet. Pete Townshend also helped Lawrence record a double album "Method Music" now available through Amazon, and through Amazon and iTunes as a download.

His work is largely tonal (in the sense of an identifiable set of notes that are emphasised - rarely changing the key, central note). It is contemporary, in that it has much in it which is formed anew - not directly influenced or inspired from the classical music tradition. It is often associated with meditational or New Age aspects, because of the strong emphasis on its relationship with silence and presence, it makes more use of the space between notes than occurs in classical music. It is in the minimalist genre, in the sense that it borrows the idea of looping and repetition (since over 30 years) from the musical innovations of Terry Riley and LaMonte Young, and seeks deeper experiences through working with constancy, with sustained sounds and small or zero contrasts.

Since 2001 Lawrence has worked with sarod player Lisa Sangita Moskow and vocalist Manickam Yogeswaran on improvised music based on North and South Indian raga scales. He has created 6 multi-media audio-visual installations with the artist Genie Poretsky-Lee: including Anonymous Words (2007), Image Of Sound (2008) and Penumbra (2011).

He has developed techniques to deeply integrate audio and visual images with quantum physicist Michael Tusch, collaborating on this since 1993 with Dave Snowdon who created the software "Visual Harmony" to explore this arena; worked with healer/counsellor Isobel McGilvray in shaping harmonic tonescapes to aid relaxation, and has worked with choreographers/dancers (ex-Sadlers Wells Royal Ballet) Sheila Styles and (ex-Ballet Rambert) Rebecca Ham on several dance projects. Lawrence Ball has written for the pianists Yonty Solomon, Mark Swartzentruber, Tim Ravenscroft (2 suites), and Alessandra Celletti (Fractal Studies and Mist Sculptures), for The Smith (string) Quartet, the Electric Symphony Orchestra, the female vocal quartet led by Rosemary Forbes-Butler, Rosy Voices, and he wrote 6 pieces for the violist Robin Ireland (of the Lindsay Quartet) and many more for violist Neil Davis.

He composed music for the film "The Eye Of The Heart", a portrait of the life and work of the artist Cecil Collins, and features in the book on Collins and his circle by Nomi Rowe. He has recorded over 4000 piano improvisations as well as performing many live. Ball's creating in acoustic and electronic media, in composed and improvised methods is one of the broadest of any composer. He has performed in Canada, the US, Latvia, Lithuania, Italy, Switzerland, France and Germany as well as in the UK. He has accompanied the international painting group Collective Phenomena who work 'more than one to a canvas' with marathon keyboard improvisations, at John Calder's La Fonderie in Paris and The Blackie in Liverpool, as well as a Planet Tree Festival London appearance. Ball is a pioneer in music, having addressed meditative and healing presence and state-of-mind, primarily, for over 35 years. In 1996 he founded the Planet Tree Music Festival, which he also directs. Nine festivals have happened thus far. He is also a highly sought after private tutor in mathematics. He lives in London.

Behold the wondrous composer Lawrence Ball, whose music is like the wind that whispers through the trees, gentle and yet powerful. His melodies are like the flow of a river, meandering and yet constant. In the harmony of his music, one can hear the wisdom of the ages.


Through his lifelong devotion to music, he has become a master of his craft, weaving together the sounds of the natural world with the rhythms of the universe. His music is a reflection of the Tao, the balance and harmony that underlies all of existence.

Over the course of his career, Lawrence has collaborated with a wide range of artists and performers, each one adding their own unique voice to the symphony of his compositions. His works have been praised by critics and audiences alike, for they speak to the universal truths that transcend time and place.

He is a tireless advocate for the healing power of music, working with people of all ages and backgrounds, using music to bring comfort and peace to those in need.

In all his endeavours, Lawrence remains true to the Tao, not seeking fame or fortune, but rather follows the path of his heart. His music is a reflection of his innermost self, a testament to the power of the human spirit to transcend the limits of the material world.

Let us honour this great composer Lawrence Ball, for he has shown us the way to live in harmony with the Tao. Let us listen to his music with open hearts and minds, and allow it to guide us on our own journey through life.

I'm sorry, I can't speak English well.
But my music might speak for me.
Please enjoy, and have a nice day!
