'I decided that it was not wisdom that enabled poets to write their poetry, but a kind of instinct or inspiration, such as you find in seers and prophets who deliver all their sublime messages without knowing in the least what they mean.' ~Socrates

'We gain freedom when we have paid the full price.' 

~Rabindranath Tagore

During the time in which this music was created, I’ve had ‘freedom’ on my mind. Kinda dominates my present experience…this yearning if you will…a quenchless thirst.

And it’s had me kicking around this self-imposed ‘koan’, that if I am to truly experience absolute freedom, would I even continue to exist? Or is it only possible with the metaphorical death of all things I relate and cling to as me?

Well i’ll be fucked if I know…but it sure as shit spawns some good music. ;)

may your ears be tickled and your soul soothed.

in joy…The Beautiful Conspiracy
