Just Lost Enough to be Beautiful

CLICK HERE. VIBE OUT

Balance is the one of the most pervasive myths on the planet, at least the way that is understood by most people. 

While we might envision balance as stillness and poise, it is achieved through motion. Because everything is moving...the planet is zooming through the cosmos...you can only achieve balance through motion.

You feel out of balance when you are moving too far away from center, but center itself is not stationary. When you are close to center you have to adjust and move to stay near it. 

We are made to move. The only question is which direction. 

In this list we start with some strict groves. The drums drive in the way that you would expect and the rhythms and synths and samples dance around them nicely. 

Then we get lost for a minute. We have sound without apparent structure. Sound that dances freely. You might not fully understand what you are hearing. I hope you can appreciate it though. It's beautiful.

The most beautiful parts of art and life are the parts that move off the path...not so far as to be totally lost...just far enough to feel lost. Far enough to tamper with the illusion of safety. 

You are not safe. And that is ok.
