This is the 3rd of 3 album preview pieces for the album "above a darkness of earth." Our wish, with this piece and with the whole album, is to offer a calm, meditative piece to help towards a deepening connection with the earth and each other.

Here is the poem that I wrote which inspired this music:
Hum, just above, a darkness of earth

River runs nearby,
gurgles and murmurs, 

sounds out 
under submerged tree trunks, 
pale and immersed in the flow.
Blackness of deep night 
has 
already settled here.

Still,
fine, serrated leaves whisper with the wind,
gently hover over darkness.

Stems from last year
still 
rise up,
Still,
connected to dark earth.

Purple blossoms, in rows of hearts
Still,
hum quietly 
to each other,
just 
above a darkness of earth.

Hum, just above a darkness of earth

The original sound comes from bubbling water, which has been stretched, retimed, and transformed into a sustained mid-to-low-frequency ambient texture. The sound floats through space like a whisper, as if emanating from a sleeping wine glass, reflecting a dreamscape of intoxication and deep, flowing resonance.

“Between You and We” is made up of three parts of a 41 minute piece.
Each piece is a stand alone piece but works even better heard one after the other.

The music is freely improvised in a free melodic form that I call Modern Modal Music.
It means that I use melodies and variations on them using a basic reference tone.
The melodies work to push and pull from the basic bass tone all the while taking advantage of the unique sound quality that the mosesa offers as filtered through electronic pedals amplified through a bass amp. Micro tones, overtones, scrapes, knocks, …any sound quality is welcomed in Modern Modal Music as long as it supports the expression of the melodies.
