Notes

In booklet:

Track 1: (1997).

Track 2: (For my Wife, 1993) published by Derry Music (BMI).

Track 3: (Dedicated to my teacher, Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia).

Track 4: Triciom Publishing

Track 5: (For my Mother, 1987) - It was a cold and rainy day in 1967. We had to stay in class during the first lunch break at First Primary School in Lenasia. It was too cold to play outside. I opened my lunch box and found cabbage and roti, so lovingly prepared by my mother. Hungrily, I relished the cabbage and roti while watching the rain through the classroom window. I still remenber the taste. Thanks, Mom.

Track 6: Upasana, a discipline of observing silence in word and thought while trying to gaze within, where bliss awaits. Like the silence between musical notes, where music awaits.

Track 7: a movie at Apsara, a chip roll special, watching some 'bra' tilt the pinball machine...

Track 8: (1994)

Track 9: Trotting down the streets of Sophiatown, Prince was a horse that pulled a cart, from where vegetables were sold. This was one of the many tasks my father undertook, to provide opportunities for me that seemed so far removed, against the odds and constraints of apartheid. Thanks, Dad.

Track 10: The flute, a seer sits in deep meditation chanting the various shades of that primordial sound, Aum, trying to reach that silent space between thoughts.
That all-pervading 'silence' of which he is a part.
An angel, in the form of a piano, beckons him while the strings in the form of three chords (Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh) cradles him.
He dances in the bliss.
Suddenly! Body-mind consciousness re-emerges and he finds himself in the chaos once again, struggling to re-enter that blissful place between thoughts. The angel (Piano) re-appears; he dances again in that bliss.

These tunes were all written during the past ten years. Some of them are extracts and themes from larger compositions written for western classical and jazz ensembles. They all use elements of indian music in varying degrees.
