I've been working on an album project entitled 'Wide Open Spaces'.
It's a 'work in process' & can now be seen & heard on the Canis Major Society site.

There are some amazing artists on the site & many have audio tracks one can listen to.

this world, this world, these are, these things,

As far as I know, I was always here.

Or there.

Or in-betwixt the here & there...

Discovery (Homage To Hesse)
duration : 3 min 42 secs
year : 2009

I have had an audio project on the back-burner for several years. Today I finally managed to make one of the tracks of what I hope will become an album.
The title of the project is Wide Open Spaces so I'm placing this in the Wide Open Spaces section.
The words are from Hermann Hesse's book "Demian" which was published in 1919.
Here they are in their entirety (as sometimes my voice isn't very clear).

--- I then made the comforting discovery that I could regulate my rise and fall by holding or releasing my breath.
Pistonius explained it to me ; "The impetus which enables you to fly is our great human possession. Everybody has it. It is the feeling of the connection one has with every source of power. But it is frightening ! That is why the majority of people are so willing to renounce any idea of flying and prefer to stroll quietly along the pavement and obey the law. But you are not one of these. You have higher aspirations as behoves a man of spirit. And look ! You discover the miracle that you are gradually winning the mastery and that to the great common power which sweeps you upward is added a fine, subtle power, a machine, a means of stearing a course. And it's wonderful. Without it you would drift about in the air powerless. This is what madmen do. They have deeper presentiments than the people on the pavement but they have no key and no help to steer with and they whirl round in the abyss. But you, Sinclair, you do things ! And how is that ? You don't really know, do you ?
You do it with a new organ, a breath-controller. That shows you how impersonal your soul is down in its depths. It is unaware of this regulator ! But it isn't new. It is a loan. It has existed for thousands of years. It is the fishes' sense of equilibrium, the air-bladder.And in no point of fact there are a few strange and primeval genera of fish in which the air-bladder is a kind of lung and can function in that capacity.
It closely resembles the lung you use for flying in your dreams !"

WIDE OPEN SPACES

After a long period of inactivity due to a total change of circumstances, I'm back am creating a new section called "wide open spaces" which will hold all kinds of snippets.
It's sort of a blog but not, maybe more a placeholder for non-categorized elements with no particular goal other than to re-activate life...
In fact virtuially everything new will go here. (new could be old if you see what I mean...)
