Alms II

from Here To Now by Timm Biery

/

about

In Alms II, the struggle to reconcile science with spiritualism is represented by the co-mingling of two time signatures — 11/4 and 10/4. They start together then they quickly separate. They do eventually re-converge, but it takes a bit of time for that to happen. (The cycling touch guitar lines in 10/4 are slightly right of center in the mix).

You'll also hear excerpts from an address by A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada given in Los Angeles, CA on 10/6/1972. Entitled "The Original Person--Perfect Knowledge", it describes how not all knowledge is perfect, which I've found to be very true in physics and in many "organized" religions as well. Regardless of your beliefs, the tone of his voice and his phrasing (which has not been edited for timing, other than where the excerpts begin) fit perfectly and help to convey what I felt as I composed and performed this piece.
