about

The seed for this busy, somewhat unusual chord progression came from a friendly jam one evening. I refined & developed the movements into a few different sections.
I found myself feeling unexpectedly anxious one day whilst spending time in a very tranquil environment. As if I was paranoid something might happen to disrupt or ruin the space & my heartbeat was fast/nervous...
The line "foraging for art" references the search for quality content from artists in a forum flooded with safe & forgettable sounds.

lyrics

Ripples from a stone, charge from above & draw from below.
Permanence is false, running like chalk in the rain.
Patience overtakes hours, surge forward & own all your days.
Spontaneity within rules, it’s ok to be efficient, but not cruel…

Mindful of tranquility must work on the heart, sway with imagination foraging for art.

Intensity like cicadas, blazing electricity on fire.
Rest, space, peace they are essential. Balance is to be admired.

I grew up with lego & sandpits so detail comes freely.
Mediative scribbles or artistic anarchy, try to represent honest & completely…

Mindful of tranquility must work on the heart, sway with imagination foraging for art.
