TIME (video here: www.madlabmusic.com/currentprojects/floc ) there is a different kind of time it's a cleansing for the mind it has a multitude of function not just a single line it's bendable, it's flexible it folds around dimensions beyond our sense of self it permeates existence it doesn't help to try to freeze it to put it in a frame its nature is in movement intrinsic quality is change though it lives without a colour it has character and feeling ponderous or fleeting our journey through it gives it meaning we feel it inside us this pulsing thread of time in blood, heart, veins and brain it has no need of purpose nor need to judge for loss or gain impartial and impervious to our human lives lived just as briefly as a passing shadow in the rain time in cycles, waves, spirals time and time and time again we think of it as history this process that we're in we like to break it into pieces then and now and where and when but time defies these efforts at containment it was there before we started and it'll be here when we're gone it's reach is far beyond mere comprehension plunging into present tense experience of being - here will help to blend us more firmly with its weave allow us in to find a deeper peace inside this world of physicality where time shifts and changes matter and challenges our sense of ease

about

...compositions and sketches for trumpet and drums possessing a compelling immediacy, full of musicality and depth with a latitude for inventiveness - a musical embodiment of jing, chi and shen...

liner notes:

The arising of complexity from fundamentals is natural to the unfolding of life on earth, breath elemental to its pulse and touch a confirmation of our spirits presence in materiality. These are the primary colours of our being.

So by touching drums and breathing into a trumpet we can take the interplay of these bare essentials and through it affirm the presence of life as organic vitality; an essential force that gives meaning and context to the art form we recognise as music.

Vibration - the language of sound - is felt inwardly. When we listen deeply to music we are experiencing something of our inner selves, navigating a shifting internal landscape and responding to the immaterial.

What you will hear on this recording is a distillation: of time; thought; emotion - unseen universal impulses which shape our journeys, influence our perceptions and help us interpret and find meaning in the myriad of experiences we call life.

From the known composed notes on a page into an unknown future through the pulse of the present, the improvisors art is reflective of much of our life's process.

about

Edward Ware New York, New York

I moved from New Zealand to New York in 1990 looking for the stimulus and challenges of life in an artistic centre of international stature and reputation. My work is equally inspired by the influences of visual art, literature and poetry as it is by the sonic worlds of other composers.
I currently spend my time between NYC and Barcelona. More info. can be found at my web site. ... more
