Mahler's Cat

Nice and organic, burbling and truly symphonic in places. Beautiful stuff! And, from that to the minute introspection of The Touchstone shows to me a variety of abilities. Impressions was like the last minute of the world as its memory flashed before its' eyes. Now, if you will excuse me, I must be on my way...

Tundra, makes me think of dugouts in the hard earth and covered with the same cold soil and snow for insulation. The lull outside that cold can have on the brain, 'just go to sleep'. The last words I said to my mum, bless her. (The 5th symphony, weirdly helped). Anyway, the tundra lulls you into a state of security, one way or the other. It can be a very desolate place, which necessitates a desolate piece in a fashion. Feels more Russian to me, but then I suppose it would.

Subway Trip reminds me of a certain frame of mind I have been in, coming at you from all angles, in a jumble. I'd hate to be underground when I was. Too closed in and I like my freedom too much. Nature was more my way because I had access to it then. Now I'm just doing the suburban relapse thing (Siouxsie and the Banshees fan). Tooday is like a whirling dervish of an inner broil. Tumultuous introvertism that really hits the core of my soul. Voices on the air are quite serene and peaceful, sometimes they bicker but this is a spirited conjunction of sonic understanding in a mellow way. Maybe not no so much as voices as experiences of ways of being.

Trippers take you right to the core of the primal scream, flashback after flashback, in a constantly altering state of existence. Everytime you think something is secure, it seems not to be there, but then you realise it always was but now it sounds different. And then things calm down, be that a serene subconscious or simple placid unconsciousness. And, then to the recovery.

Navigation in such regions of experience can open such doors that are rarely, ordinarily accustomed to be open, with a little reminder to close them behind you when you've finished. But such charted and uncharted regions, and what we know probably isn't even the tip of the iceberg, in so many ways we live our lives, not knowing. Some frustratingly trapped, some unaware, some actually contradictory. Here I know there is a deep sense of honesty and soulfulness and it's to be shared by all, if they want. The map is in your hands.
