THE INVESTIGATION

The period in which I was making the music that became Lights Arise was closely intertwined with experiences that led me into other areas of investigation.

As I uploaded the tracks, these investigations brought new people, ideas and connections into the story, eventually leading to Track 24 — Unfold The Void.

These investigations are therefore part of the story of the music, not separate from it.

THE SUBJECTS

DREAM MANA recurring childhood figure: remembered as familiar, alien-seeming, grey-skinned, with large dark eyes. Memory first; interpretation later.PERSONAL RECORD
THE GREYSThe cultural and personal appearance of grey beings: image, memory, UFO literature and later interpretation.FOLLOW THE IMAGE
THE SANDMANA related threshold figure and a question about how recurring images migrate between dream, culture and memory.FOLLOW THE THREAD

THE IDEAS

COLLECTIVE CONSCIOUSNESSThe idea that minds may be connected, and how that idea enters the music, synchronisation experiments and sequence.IDEA / NOT PROOF
SYNCHRONICITYCoincidence experienced as meaningful: the trumpet event, the sequence, attention and the problem of significance.OPEN QUESTION
THE SOURCEThe feeling that music was coming from somewhere other than deliberate authorship: intuition, unconscious process, altered state or spiritual interpretation.UNRESOLVED
