Guided
by Sensation |
||||||
This
song features electric and acoustic Strumstick, and was written in
the winter of 2007 as an ode to my yoga teacher Barbara
Benagh. It has struck me as I've worked with her over the years
how powerful it can be to have an experienced guide to lead you deeper
into the mysteries of body, breath, awareness. I feel grateful-- and
this song is a kind of thank-you note. |

Waking Up Is Not That Hard |
||||||
So the story goes like
this. At our
Monday Night Meditation with the Dzogchen Center Cambridge (the Sangha
of Lama
Surya Das),
our friend and teacher Lama
John Makransky mentioned at one point in his Dharma talk
how "waking up is not that hard to do". He
then paused and said, "Hey! That sounds like the title of a song!" This song is my answer. |

Written on Water |
||||||
This is a recent instrumental, and was a kind of musical breakthrough for me. It features a custom made electric Strumstick (more on this later) run through a series of effects and a long delay-loop. The title is inspired by the inscription on the tombstone of the young Romantic poet, John Keats: "Here lies one whose name was writ in water." |
