This heartfelt sketch for Piano and Strings is born out of a recent Improvisation that seeks to suggest the power and passion of Love's eternal nature. Impossible to do perhaps, yet if it is freely expressed... Love seems to travel like Light and bind giver and receiver together in a warm, rich, and almost unfathomable Oneness.

So, here's to what is called 'Forever Love', and may everyone find it! 💖

Cheers! 😊

Powerful and Strong it is, this thing called Life!

Man's Enemy or.... man's friend.

Yet,

When we Find the JOY in it the Way is easy

and our burdens Light.

All the rest is just The Art of Living,

Giving and Loving, without concern for results.

Dear Listeners ...

May you inJoy this one.

It flowed like a Mythic stream . . .

and under that lovely flow, its Vibe was Chill. :-)

Here's the story of its inception.

Remembering back to that halcyon day in the early 1970s, in the hills above Boulder Colorado,

I actually heard a Mountain Stream sing to me of the Cosmic Harmonies...

and More!

And this is my homage to that wondrous experience. Haven't been the same since.

May you enJOY.

Played on a KAWAI ES7

The Great Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter occurred on the 21st of December 2020 and i recorded this Piano Impromptu as i watched it.

Some 400 years have passed since these two large planets last came within a degree or so of each other. And the most awesome thing about their meeting is that it apparently signifies the actual dawning of The Age of Aquarius according to Astrologers worldwide.

May we all be released into an entirely new era of consciousness and experience, accepting the Creative responsibility to be the very best we can be as we undertake to Let Life live us to the fullest extent possible in the years to come.

Cheers! and All my very Best Wishes to each and All of you, my Precious Listeners. May you inJOY the Christmas and the New Year Season with those closest to your hearts as we head into 2021.

In Peace, Health, and Appreciation,

Anomon

Regarding the Photo: A Sunset Night Sky over the Grand Canyon

Seeing mountain peaks glow red from inside the Grand Canyon was one of the most incredible sunset experiences of this amateur photographer's life. They appeared even more incredible later when digitally combined with an exposure of the night sky -- taken by the same camera and from the same location -- an hour later. The two images were taken last August from the 220 Mile Canyon campsite on the Colorado River, Arizona, USA. The peaks glow red because they were lit by an unusually red sunset. Later, high above, the band of the Milky Way Galaxy angled dramatically down, filled with stars, nebula, and dark clouds of dust. To the Milky Way's left is the planet Saturn, while to the right is the brighter Jupiter.

I am so thankful that Gina Wood was once again more than happy to work with me on another of my compositions. And if i may say so, as far as i am concerned, we work seamlessly together. ;) Thank you Gina! <3

This work is a reprise of @ https://soundcloud.com/Gary-Courtland-Miles/Cosmic-Cycles

Let yourSelf go...

We will be Good to your Soul, and...to your Ears.

We promise.

As you Let your Consciousness Resonate with this Tone Poem,

Let it suggest that 'There is Peace at Center,

and that Center is Everywhere.'

What you hear first in this composition represents the Cosmic Background Radiation even now remaining from what we understand as the Big Bang. (Indeed, this Vibrational fingerprint was theorized and then revealed by NASA's C.O.B.E. CO(smic) B(ackground) E(xplorer)>

Yes...i know...

"it all sounds kinda New Agey" ... and... perhaps these liner notes' could be so construed. But the music was actually born out of months of contemplation of a Huge life-manifested Zen Koan i came up against! :) And what an opportunity to Compose through. ;)

The Koan was " What is the Sound of Manifestation? What is the SOUND of the Process of The Stuff of Life, Arising... coming into being?

As it does, it dances, and continually sparks New manifestations of substance on this plane; and then dissolves back into 'the vacuum' out of which it arose.

What could 'that' sound like?

Hmmmm. Impossible, yet tantalising.

No matter... many have found that the Peace they felt in resonating with whatever IT ultimately IS, is More than Enough to keep them totally focused and interested in the Tone. ;)

If you should find this composition relaxing and easy to resonate with,

we would be more than happy.

May you inJOY.
