Name: 02 Foci's Left - A Rose In The Dessert Wind
Duration: P00H02M17S
Description: My first time ever improvising on piano with a poem written out on the piano tendrils. The poetry is reflective of 'transcendental introspection', the term I coined in 2012 as an instinctive looking inside oneself to pull something new out. As well, the track is influenced by artists as wide ranging as PJ Harvey to Richard Ashcroft, of "The Drugs Don't Work" fame.

lyrics

Put the pen to the paper, dismantle the furniture
Like then rebuild it again, my mind comes flat packed
Ready to unwravel, my bills, my beauty, you dazzle innature.
A rose in the dessert wind. Always right-tracked creature.

Meditation on integration, what we all ask for
Sometimes deserts us, as soon as we deserve us
Considerable frippery in E flat, slippery, a B-sharp
The ecstascy of the world a polluting fragrance
Like a rose in the dessert winds.

You bring the teabags, I'll select the coffee
Together we caffeinate, exploratory, my beauty
You dazzle innature. Like a Valentine's payslip
A check of roses in the vase to be kept.

A rose in the dessert wind, never casts the first hail.

Pulse Dive
by 36

36 (spelt three-six), the moniker of Dennis Huddleston, turns in his best work for me personally on this warm, sonic bath of tonal ambient that relies on classical music and raga pacing influences. :) Foci's Left
