Notes to the April 22nd Music Gallery Concert:

"Creation"

Præludium to the Big Bang... The humming and glinting of suspended particles and vibrating potential...
1. The Opening. The Chord, the one note that began Creation... The deafening roar of the initial spark.... Immensity.... The expansion of the universe at an infinite rate... Tremendous momentum... The infinite of sperm and the One Sperm, the One Spark that started life and propels evolution and ignites the creator to create...
2. Making of matter, water, land, air, galaxies, molecules, rotating around each other, exchanging energies... Sorting out their revolutions and fitting in with their inherent vibrations... The shivering vibration and exchange of molecules... The Laws of physics learning to define themselves...
3. Water. The flow of water at its beginning, the primordial water learning that it is water and how to flow... most beautiful creation to life, it's particles passing over one another endlessly, filling crevasses of vast emptiness to the most minute streams, the liquid manifestation of light that sparks life...
4. Song of Innocence. The birth of Humanity, the human spirit... Its innermost state of innocence from the first human and within us at the present... The birth of want, crying for Mother, in and out of the womb...
5A. Song of Palestine. Oppression of Humankind: physical, mental, spiritual...Crushing weight of shifting tectonic plates of History... The making of realms, fortresses, empires colliding... The Struggle of Truth...

Intermission

5B. Battle Array. The Epic of Human Conflict... Song of War, delirium, cacophony......Rhythm, steaming water, fire, hammer striking the Anvil of Creation which once forged mountains...
6. Dance of Apathy. The hideous, grotesque transformation and twisting of the human spirit... The long, contorted, inexplicably twisted dance of souls indulging and deceiving one another... Struggle of truth, struggle to breath against drowning in deception... Anger at injustice and apathy... Convulsion and vaporization of the soul...
7. Convalescence. Reflection and Regeneration.
8. The Cataclysm. The Battle of Truth: Armageddon; emotional, intellectual, spritual and physical ... In touch with the inner lightning of thought...
9. Song of Truth. Burning as an elusive yet undying white flame at the centre of Creation... The reunion of Truth and Innocence... The Unfolding of Love...
