Brian Eno - An Ending (Ascent)..................................

-







Though I love Early Music (ie. Medieval, Renaissance, and the Baroque) my musical tastes are infact very varied...as partially indicated on the profile section of this blog site...However, there is one very specific piece of music which hits it off with me completely. It is An Ending (Ascent) by Brian Eno. To me it always hits the right notes. It is magical, and indeed, transcendent......


 Ofcourse, there are many excellent examples of computer generated music artfully produced . But for me An Ending is it..!! It sums up everything..about  life and the universe...and as such I have placed an entry here along with relevant links...




Moreover, such music when concentrated upon via meditation can become subtler, and subtler in one's mind, and hence, become more, and more glorious, and transcendental..Here, I refer to the deep, more esoteric side of music at higher levels of consciousness. Such "worldly" music like An Ending, or indeed, anything else similar, or vaguely similar exists in subtle dimensions of Being which lie beyond the physical...By meditation, and concentration naturally induced can link one to those  higher more beautiful musical "non-worldly" replicas in "higher dimensions." This is all a matter of personal experience..and can be an aid in one's evolution.


However, the most beautiful music in the world exists beyond our world, and cannot be fully or adequately described at all. In other words, what Pythagoras referred to as the Music of the Spheres, or the Nada, or Shabda of Indian Mysticism...etc

 The Earth in its glory...and suspended in the eternity of space...What a sight! Yet, it is now threatened by climate change on a huge scale. Will humanity survive? It is anyone's guess. Only the future can tell...

The Curfew Tower of Windsor Castle

-

Back in the early 1970s I knew the old guide at the Curfew Tower of Windsor Castle. He was called George Hudson. From around the ages of 13 - 16  I used to help him with the second floor of the Tower itself as an unofficial guide. The history of this building was surprisingly interesting, and quite often tourists would miss out on not visiting it. Among other things, it is the home of the "small" dungeons where beehive shaped stone cells can still be seen. One poor prisoner tried to make a hole in one of them but was unfortunately caught as he emerged through the guard room of the Curfew Tower. Nowadays, the dungeons are used for social occasions! What follows is a listed, and "potted" description of the Curfew Tower. Here, I am largely relying on memory. I may check for accuracy at some later date... The Guard Room/The "First Floor" (excluding the dungeons which could be seen as being the "basement"). This was also the place where the ...

Remembering Andrew Weatherall.........

Image
  One evening I was lying on my bed and I heard an announcer on  BBC Radio 4 mention the name Andrew Weatherall. It was in connection with a radio programme called Last Word dealing with recent obits of famous people. The name instantly rang a bell in my head as it was so familiar.....and then I recalled Weatherall from the dim and distant past of the early 1970s. I knew him as a child and went to the same school in Windsor as him. We had a number of chats. I even had dinner with him in Old Windsor where I met his parents...and remember seeing a parrot in a cage too. But unfortunately I cannot recall anything much more about him...except that the last time I saw him he said that he was planning a revolution in music...and hey, presto he seem to have done something like that in later life...yet, I am not qualified to say how important and revolutionary his contribution is to modern music.  Andrew Weatherall / Guardian Newspaper with examples of his "best" work Google searc...
