“Certain kinds of speed, flow, intensity, density of attacks, density of interaction… Music that concentrates on those qualities is, I think, easier achieved by free improvisation between people sharing a common attitude, a common language.” Evan Parker
“Walk on a rainbow trail; walk on a trail of song, and all about you will be beauty. There is a way out of every dark mist, over a rainbow trail.” Robert Motherwell

The West Siberian Plain consists mostly of Cenozoic alluvial deposits and is somewhat low-lying. Many of the deposits on this plain result from ice dams; having reversed the flow of the Ob and Yenisei Rivers, so redirecting them into the Caspian Sea (perhaps the Aral as well). It is very swampy and soils are mostly peaty Histosols and, in the treeless northern part, Histels. In the south of the plain, where permafrost is largely absent, rich grasslands that are an extension of the Kazakh Steppe formed the original vegetation (almost all cleared now). - Geology of Siberia.

note: I am a little drifting, so this is a somewhat muffled evening electronic. I made this a while back, not even sure why I did it, but it is not entirely directionless. It has some nice head bopping tempo in it, mostly instrumental. It should work for quite evening working at the computer. I will make a nicer list later.

The first cup moistens my lips and throat. The second cup breaks my loneliness. The third cup searches my barren entrail but to find therein some thousand volumes of odd ideographs. The fourth cup raises a slight perspiration - all the wrongs of life pass out through my pores. At the fifth cup I am purified. The sixth cup calls me to the realms of the immortals. The seventh cup - ah, but I could take no more! I only feel the breath of the cool wind that raises in my sleeves. Where is Elysium? Let me ride on this sweet breeze and waft away thither. ~Lu Tung, Tea-Drinking-
El verano ha muerto para mi. Dentro de unas horas me tocará levantarme para volver a la escuela. Es un trayecto largo y subsecuentemente tengo que empezar a armar las listas que serán mis compañeras de viaje por las madrugadas: Música que me mantenga más o menos despierto y a tono para ser testigo fugaz del amanecer.
Mi dia empieza a las 4:00 a.m. tomaré una taza de té y emprenderé el viaje por ese destino constante llamado “rutina”.

note: Shot evening pieces. Animal Collective request plus light melodic classics. Remember when you were a kid most of the time music never make any big thematic sense? The things they make you play. And later on you find out, they are all some kind of basic exercise to fit your limited attention span and fingering skill? Well, this is a tongue and cheek version of that. Short phrases and melody to barely fit attention span of a gnat. ha.. But I hope you enjoy them with a big smile, they are all very well executed too. cheers.

When Brad said he wanted to learn a musical instrument, Donna said nothing. When he bought the drum, she still said nothing. Now with that awful orange sweater and the maracas, Donna could no longer hold her tongue.

In limbo. I remember it as a more comfortable place, it felt so young and simpler back then… this time it’s making me feel like a spoiled, bourgeois kid. This heaven gives me migraine.
I will come back to you soon. I promise.

And the night shall be filled with music,
And the cares that infest the day
Shall fold their tents like the Arabs
And as silently steal away.

This Midnight Tempo is a jump to beats more rythmical but no in another tune, all is arund the midnight.
It’s bed time with the right mood.
