Thoughts on music generally, including recommended recordings.

To get into the right frame of mind, first try any or all of these sounds:

They are quite good in alternation or combination. The first of these can be very abrasive. (That's good for cleaning the cobwebs out of one's ears.) Once you are awake, relax in a soothing sonic environment, like Budd's "The Room."

Jade Warrior is a bit of nostalgia for many eras, near and far away: the summer of love, oriental dynasties, and deserts. It is full of surprises.

Stephan Micus collects ideas from a wide range of traditions. His early recordings are cleaner, more honest, better focused.

Hellborg is totally unpredictable, full of energy and surprises, brilliant and imaginative.

Now that you have stretched a little, find some structure.

A few selected links, some in the spirit of reciprocity . . .

And a few of my own files and pages . . .

. . . and consider the words of John Cage.
