blessed in the grand scheme

This ambient symphony in three movements for chamber orchestra and electronics is an ascension into the cosmos of every moment

At its core, blessed in the grand scheme is about oneness in body in the outdoors

Field recordings taken from personal journeys to forests around the world are ever-present throughout and actively take a role in the music

i.Catylyst_Vivace

Veil of observer’s reality pulled back

Observer begins calm, omniscient float over golden riverbank at dusk, beholding the blissful actors flowing through the evening procedure until darkness settles

Alone, high alpine meadow

Bed of wild blueberries

Halo, golden afternoon peaceful rest

The surroundings

Trees sway

Buzz, buzz, bugs, birds

Breeze coolly tickles

Warmth whispering

PANG sudden awareness

Nurtured floodgates release

Body chemical soft silent sizzle flush

JOLT the system

Scenery peeling back entering forward

It’s there, the first touchpoint

Everything one moment in every direction

Brimming, sinuous, simmering

The senses catch on familiar sensors

Together now with something totally new

Grasping expansive significance

Fundamental beyond aspect

ii.Sync_AllegroModerato

Twilight pulse in open meadow

Teeming life motions effortlessly with innate cyclical rhythms and interchanging performances

Levels, levels and layers

Layers of levels, focus

360 activity passing untroubled, purposeful, keen

Not a spec of energy to waste

Chain reactions domino ad-infinitum

Playing and caring not

Simply happening because it ought

La-ti-da and wow

Air whirls on cue and wafts in mini invisible tornadoes

Light swirls on hue and flashes brilliance each time a new shade

Until colors never before felt

Are accompanied by starlight

No scenes, concepts

No observers participating

The is-ness is primordial

Radiance, luster, unity

Breathing in, two

Out three

The string of action in vastness unbound

Tending the garden in a single motion

iii.YessingYou_Andante

Aligned beings take beautiful solos, affirm their existence, express their personality

A storm sweeps through the valley to nurture life and bring in the dawn, observer is released into familiar reality, expanded

Welcome

Now we groove

Now we express ourselves

We declare who we are

We participate, everything commensurate

We accept

This is what this is

That is who that is

Yessing you yessing me

Yessing them it we

Conscious choice, freedom

A supernatural enchantment

Off that goes over there, how splendid

Ups and downs side-to-siding

Baptized forever here and now

Awake, good morning

Chirping, trickling, teaching

Yessing
