a little heart-ditty song-seed by de Vie.
"Find It In You" (c) 2009 Broken Trick Music

... for everyone curious what playing the mbira dza vadzimu looks like from my perspective... *SORT of! ... (FYI, in physical reality the arrangement of the keys is actually the reverse of what's seen here...)
[Andrew Cox made the mbira; Joshua Edwards made the deze]

If you call voicemail-only number 520-495-2005 at anytime of day or night, you will be led immediately to the outgoing-message: a song-fragment.  That number is only voicemail, so calling it always takes you immediately to the outgoing message - which is currently a song-fragment. You can call that # anytime as many times as you like to hear it. And, you are free to leave me a message there also if you like.

I have been engaging in a fun and educational partnership with The Center for Creative Chaos, an art gallery and community center on 4th Avenue, located next to Epic Cafe. I've been setting up my "Emerald Alchemy creativity shop" there on various afternoons and evenings when it's in-the-flow, which it increasingly has been... so you may perchance visit me there in the future. I've been busking my live music for donations, displaying some of my finished art for sale and/or trade, offering Emerald Alchemy card readings, and giving away my pink art-info-cards. ... As well as chit-chatting about the meaning of life and what not. You can leave me a message at 520 495 2005 with your number and/or email address if you'd like to know when I'm likely to be there again.

The Center for Creative Chaos
739 N 4th Avenue
Tucson, AZ 85705

The Center for Creative Chaos is headed by fellow artist and Uber-Nunc philosopher Michael Karagavoorian. Michael keeps the gallery open Wednesday through Sunday, 1pm to 8pm.

saying no is a door
the tree is unfathomable
the city is stretching
like a dance
because
Self-Discipline came to stay
like a dance
dancing
where the eye has lowered its gaze
the fear that was held
pours back
to the ocean
of oblivion

there's someone i used to go and play for
it was a long time ago
i was in love
and i would play beethoven
even after
i went crazy with it
(crazy with the sound)

he sits at the piano in black leather
that's probably why i liked him
just remembering him again
i want to drive across the country
and meet him on his own terms
and work it out, work it out

this is a story shaped by time
white and black keys
sounds and other sounds
noise or melody
stravinsky or mozart
heaven and hell all rolled into one
shiny, black, massive, mutual,
there's a religious land
sanctified by unparalleled sound
and now i'm quiet
i don't want to bother anyone anymore
so i go and do this religion
under a secret private solitary burning sun.

I am in love with death
I am in love with the end and its totality
I am in love with he who shattered me because he shatters me
I am in love with god
I am in love with his excessive discipline
I am in love with God's cataclysmic avalanche of tortured self-denial
(emancipation)

I am in love with that which I cannot be in love with
Because I cannot be in love with it
Because he is too far away
it's been said that the forbidden
carries attraction in its forbidden

circle turning round
I am in love with that which denies me
I am in love with that which takes me away
If not him then another
If not him then the end
If not him then still him
Someone who has the courage to never return
God's shore where eternity burns
