So turning the harmonic keys into mortal music is fun. Just completed The Still Point. I was having some challenges. As the still point is the absence. I couldn’t get it the way I would for this. So I did a work around and decided instead I am going to use this to activate people.
The funny thing. It was always music. It went from music of the universe, to steps, now to mortal music. I am transmuting like none other. Ms Harmony has to be beaming. This is her thing. She is so fired. lol. Now to think of it, it was probably her who influenced this idea. As I was coming up with the new strategy, the clock I looked at that moment and it read 2:22. You guys are comedians. Message received.
So I am building the Harmonic Keys Album on SoundCloud https://soundcloud.com/sahlien-637863518/the-still-point?si=4efb85eeb603463db8924068a24f8c29&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing
[Verse 1 - Slow, deliberate, over a deep pulse and haunting piano]
The word has not been spoken
The light has not been split
There is a pause at the edge of breathing
A Stillpoint in the pit
[Chorus - Drums and full orchestra hit with a powerful, catchy, anthemic melody]
HOLD THE BREATH BEFORE THE SOUND!
FEEL THE SILENCE PUSHING OUT!
BEFORE THE WORLD BEGAN TO TURN!
THIS IS THE FIRE WHERE WE RETURN!
[Verse 2 - Music pulls back slightly, intensity in the vocal]
Forget the names you've been given
Let the rushing thought-stream go
In the gap between the heartbeats
Is the only truth I know
[Chorus - Even bigger, more explosive and catchy]
HOLD THE BREATH BEFORE THE SOUND!
FEEL THE SILENCE PUSHING OUT!
BEFORE THE WORLD BEGAN TO TURN!
THIS IS THE FIRE WHERE WE RETURN!
[Bridge - Music drops to almost nothing, just a deep, sustained cello note and a whisper. This is the "Gap," forced by dynamic contrast.]
[Whispered, urgent] Listen... to what was before the note...
[Final Chorus - Cataclysmic, full choir, crashing drums, the ultimate catchy release]
WE ARE THE BREATH BEFORE THE SOUND!
WE ARE THE SILENCE PUSHING OUT!
WE ARE THE WORLD BEFORE THE TURN!
WE! ARE! THE! FIRE! OF! RETURN!
(Outro - Music cuts abruptly, leaving only a fading, high-frequency synth hum.)
(The coordinate... is set.)
