Edge Cat's Journey

An old salt, peers out from the bolts. 
Takes a look at the world on his plate.
He hands red raw, advice to his mate.
He knows that summer times drawing short. 

The cheese and the pickle, the bells, and the whistle away.
Working slowly - just waiting for much better days, in the haze. 

Stuck till Friday, an eye on the wall.
An important call, what's the date?
A punter comes in, a punch on the chin, 
or an old baccy tin, a long wait. 

The posters of girls on the wall have not aged like his face.
Turning slowly, just hoping for much better days. Through the haze. 

The cheese and the trickle of money that ties to the place.
Working slowly - just waiting for much better days. in a daze. 

An old smith, a rock megalith,
which was uncovered minutes too late. 
Having lain in the darkness for countless odd years without the forbearance to wait. 

The keeping of vigils and banging of anvils, 
the strength in the arms,
It fades slowly, just waiting for much better days.
Borne away. 

An old smith,  a weary eyed sit, and a look down at the ground. 
At the ground.

PROGRAM NOTE
Adagio for solo violin was composed as a surprise birthday present for my good friend Adam Abeshouse who is an excellent violinist, and also one of the world’s greatest classical recording producers. Since I enjoy creating pieces that musicians have a personal connection with, I asked Adam’s wife Maria which pieces Adam likes to play, and she mentioned the first movement of J.S. Bach’s Sonata No. 1 in G Minor. I have quoted phrases from various pieces by Bach in a few of my other works (my Elegy for Two Cellos and Piano, for example), so I decided to embed a few phrases from that movement in this piece, so that when Adam plays it, he will be reminded of his favorite piece by Bach. I also included motifs based on Adam’s first name (A, D, A, and Mi, the solfège name for E) and also on Maria’s name, and his daughters Sarah and Emily.

Adagio for solo violin was commissioned by Steve and Hildy Martin in honor of Adam Abeshouse’s 60th birthday.

Things Never Said

As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.

2 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?

3 My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?

4 When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday.

5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.

6 O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar.

7 Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.

8 Yet the Lord will command his lovingkindness in the day time, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.

9 I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

10 As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God?

11 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

Love to the moon | author Sahil Katoch

Suspension After Time is a project by Garrett Dwyer where the listener can explore and absorb into the vast realms and dimensions of soundscapes. Just like the name, time becomes obsolete and lends itself to auditory bliss. Being lost in the moment is the goal and staying lost in the moment is the ultimate goal. Where the realities of life can't steal away your concept of how time should be.
