SILENCE AND SYMMETRY

Season's Greetings from the winter wonderland,

There's hopefully always room for a song at the right time. This
instrumental production dates back a few years to 2003, I was
enjoying some personal freedom having just left a 5 year long
industrial post and project. I was spending some time in the
wilderness during the fall and winter. This is a sonic sentiment
rejoicing the quiet moments after solstice that we should all take
periodically in life, a winter song that is to express a natural,
yet perhaps not so obvious or logical mirror reflection of
stillness against a busy life.

I have been working my way through the amazing BBC series "Planet
Earth" released on DVD. I am aware after a few segments about
northern climates that wildlife and nature takes time off, takes
timeout, the dark cold of winter inevitably brings about this
natural slumber, the busy life of spring and summer is a mirror
opposite reflection of this sleep, a natural balance of living life
and taking time reflecting in silence. Although seemingly brutal
with many species going months without food, this slumber brings
about rhythmic rejuvenation worthy of musical celebration.

Happy slumber and solstice to all!
See you in the spring,
PJ
