I am starting to review the book "Gandhi An Autobiography: The Story of My Experiments With Truth" the whole thing is very disjoint at times. How did you think to call your ferret Gandhi?

Michelangelo’s statue of Moses in the Church of San Pietro in Vincoli, Rome, is one of the most familiar masterpieces in the world. Horns the sculptor included on Moses' head are the result of a mistranslation of the Hebrew Bible into the Latin Vulgate Bible with which he was familiar. The Hebrew word taken from Exodus means either a "horn" or an "irradiation." Experts at the Archaeological Institute of America show that the term was used when Moses "returned to his people after seeing as much of the Glory of the Lord as human eye could stand," and his face "reflected radiance." In early Jewish art, moreover, Moses is often "shown with rays coming out of his head."
by gosh, is...is this a real piano?
beautiful sound. slightly out of tune or something, it's eerie, nostalgic and dangerously large.
keep on doing what you're doing.
This is a solo piano piece performed on a M-Audio 88es driving pianoteq which was re-tuned to Gene Ward Smith's 17 per octave equal beating dwarf(<17 27 40|). The piece was originally recorded in pianoteq using the standalone mode and then…
No one's left
and I'm afraid
I've got no choice.
I've got it made.
But I've known for a very long time
that I can't consent to the shape
that I've been assigned
without a chance to really define...
But four young Oysters hurried up,
All eager for the treat:
Their coats were brushed, their faces washed,
Their shoes were clean and neat--
And this was odd, because, you know,
They hadn't any feet.
Four other Oysters followed them,
And yet another four;
And thick and fast they came at last,
And more, and more, and more--
All hopping through the frothy waves,
And scrambling to the shore.
Continuing journey of late getting reacquainted with my acoustic guitar past in a new direction more improvised and spontaneous than I used to do and more akin to some of the acoustic work of recent years with Chinapainting. I'm also rediscovering…

Mindbending.
Man this is genius! Wow the atmosphere and all the other elements are are blended in perfectly with the bile lyrics! Kudos!
WOW! Impressive piece of work that is!
Mighty and magical!
man, what a powerful sound. Cant help but think of Jim Morrison a bit with the lyric inflections.
such a powerful sound, I really like this.

I sat back in my chair and listened with an air of quiet satisfaction...this was absolutely lovely.
Excellent alt tuning. Wide open and sometimes odd sound scape, Beautiful
Too short, yet so beautiful!
Nice improve!

I really like how unusual this sounds
beautiful in its sadness
really well done!
this may be long, but it isn't empty. I really, really like this one!
it opens like a hurdy-gurdy! Your layering is so orchestral - wonderful work
This is cooler - the SE-02 seems to be quite a nice synth~!
love the runs in this piece! Very powerful!
awesome!!!
I'm in awe of how you make these pieces every week. This is excellent contemporary classical music. I agree with Bill, beautiful ending!

Lola has my respect. What synth was slept on?
Its why they fly in cris-cross patterns!
You get some great sounds out of the pedal!
truly beautiful!
This is a lovely piece of intimate mystery!
this has a lovely mood that is introspective and unique
works extraordinarily well!
beautiful looping!
