TOM CABRERA, JACK DeSALVO: TALES OF COMING HOME (UR9986) Downloads
Deep within many ancient traditions seems to be the common thread of a completely unified field of consciousness. The implication is that individual minds are simply projecting this universal consciousness, albeit filtered through the limitations of each individual’s physiology and the particularities of space-time.
The overarching distractions of commercially-based civilization, among other things, obscures spiritual life and leaves us to find traces of transcendence where we can.
Improvised music, when shared between players (and audience) is possibly an opportunity to glimpse this universal consciousness – if the players are fully present and listen in the moment. The music itself is the vibratory manifestation of the process of transcending the artificial barriers of the individual mind.
The stories the music tells of moments of intimations of this universal consciousness are Tales of Coming Home.
