Treebird

My front and back garden are the yin and yang of a wonderful universe.
In the morning after meditation I sit in the back garden to compose or
play and watch and listen to the birds as they hurry about their tasks.
Some of them look at me in the eye; I fancy with envy at my humanity.
In the evening, tired and seeking inspiration, I watch a bird on a tree
in the front garden (the avant-garden) gazing out its meditation in
perfect stillness and I envy it's essential nature.

Treebird is the story of that bird:-

The companion piece is going up next. 'Garden Jazz" is the general ethos
of my garden in music.

I've had to take down some of the others to make way for this most
recent piece but I'll collect all the pieces and throw them up (as
someone colourfully put it) on a single site soon. There have been
suggestions posted recently as to how to access .bin files.

BTW I've just wriggled out of my little tartan number having played the
Mary Queen of Scots gig and guess what? - nobody came up to me and said
"you're playing in 12 tet there - very authentic". Such a lack of
awareness in the civic dignitaries of Scotland.

When I renamed this without the '.bin', and tried playing it, there
were only a few seconds of music, just a few percussive tones,
descending. I'm sure there's more to it . . . can't wait to hear
it . . .
