Cosmic Dance: The Big Bounce

 

A Cosmologically Bouncy Techno Guitar Pop track...

THE BIG BOUNCE is one of the Cosmology theories on the Universe.  That after the BIG BANG, and expanding universe, there comes a time, some 30 billion years later, when it all collapses and the process starts again with another BIG BANG.  Hence THE BIG BOUNCE.

Intestinally this "matches" the Hindu Nasadiya Sukta ( 1500 BCE ~1000 BCE). The Creation Myth. Even the billions of years time frame.  The Cosmic Dance of Shiva is briefly shown. 

As an individual, the UNIVERSE, what it is and how it happened is on time scales so vast it is irrelevant to our insignificant lives.  Still really interesting though.

Carl Sagan talked about all this in episode 10 of his 1980 TV series COSMOS.  46 years later we are no closer to knowing the real answer.  It is something for our descendants to discover, hopefully within the next 5 billion years before our Sun dies and burns our whole solar system to dust.  Expect in a few billion years our descendants will look very little like humanity does now.

The lyrics of this touch on, the Creation Theories and the Hindu Nasadiya Sukta.

Lyrics  THE BIG BOUNCE 

Before the breath of time was drawn, 

Before the twilight or the dawn, 

Did it spring from golden seed, 

Or a silent, dreaming need? 

時の息吹が吹き込まれる前から、

黄昏も夜明けも訪れる前から、

それは黄金の種から芽生えたのか、

それとも、静かで夢見るような

渇望から生まれたのか？

Who can say what sages saw, 

Of the churning, cosmic law? 

Was it woven from the dark, 

Or ignited by a spark? 

賢者たちが何を見たのか、

渦巻く宇宙の法則について、

誰が語れようか？

それは闇から紡ぎ出されたのか、

それとも一筋の火花によって

点火されたのか？

Even gods arrived too late, 

To behold the opening gate— 

So who knows if it will burn, 

Or in cycles, just return?

神々でさえも、門が開くのを

目撃するには遅すぎた――

だから、それが燃え尽きるのか、

それとも循環を繰り返して、

ただ戻ってくるのか、誰にも

わからない。

Through the dark energy's pull, 

Will the vacuum stay full? 

Or a Big Rip ahead, 

Tearing space until it's dead?

ダークエネルギーの引力によって、

真空は満たされたままでいるの

だろうか？

それとも、ビッグ・リップが

待ち受けており、

空間が死に至るまで引き裂かれて

いくのだろうか？

The drums are only a dubstep KICK and SNARE.   I based on a much longer instrumental thing I did a year or so ago.  Made it to be just under 3 minutes to not be repetitive. It isn't a usual song structure, but that is what I like to do.

Other Things

Been much rain this week, so haven't gotten out much.  Did order the recent Moebius Library: The Depressed Hunter from Dark Horse.  Even though THE AIRTIGHT GARAGE isn't a great comic to read, the artwork is amazing.

Interesting John Carpenter Interview. 

Even as someone with successes, it doesn't last and he found some looked down on "horror", as a lesser genre.  

He was also flogging his coming album and comic book combo. 

Came across this video in the last week on why people buy expensive guitars.  The Osaka Sound Messe I have visited the last years is mostly boutique guitars and other gear like hand made pedals.   

I originally thought I would be interested in Mattia's FREAK GUITAR LAB ulv7 7 string. Till I saw the original price was 900,000yen and recently some 750,000yen. This is just luxury goods pricing, and that they are expensive and exclusive is what those buyers are after.  As someone that's most expensive guitar at todays prices is only 60,000yen and I don't have the guitar love that many others seem to have, I ask myself how did I get involved with this scene?  

The answer I know was because of Mattias's clinics at SoundMesse.  That was for his technique and approach demonstrations.    

But I myself are more a Creator/ Inventor type  recently working on my original MUSIC+COMICS. It is the resulting song and animation that is what I am about. Not the collecting of rare limited edition gear. 

The thing is, on a recording, you can't hear the difference between an expensive and reasonably priced guitar. And it is the recorded sound that matters to me. I am not collecting art objects or status symbols, or performing live.   Seems performing live is a significant part of the guitar scene and I have zero interest in that. 

Anyway the why of buying expensive guitars is how it makes the guitar lover feel. Recapturing their youth or the beauty of the guitars finish.  That just isn't me. They are just tools.
