Earthwards

I composed this tune right after my first lesson in the Alexander Technique - a practical method for expanding perception and reducing unnecessary muscular and mental tension. The technique is often used by musicians and actors, and it aims to help artists understand and tap into natural energy sources. For instance, one can utilize gravitational energy at times in order to conserve muscle energy. This first lesson was an exciting breakthrough in my musicianship! Afterwards, while contemplating and envisioning gravitational energy, I began to formulate some ideas for this song’s melody. I felt connected to the energy source - the very core of the Earth. All our lives, we are pulled earthwards - towards home. To me, this energy is the source of all creativity... and the source of my music.
