Story behind the song
#1368 recorded on dec 13, 2011 A minimalistic improvised tune. A bit 'Philip Glass', think of marbles (background music for a documentary). Now extended to a 5 minute piece (albeit with some cloning of stuff) At the moment of recording I had a kid playing with marbles on a big stone staircase in mind, with the marbles bouncing off the stairs. In the distance his mother is calling for the kid to stop playing and come to have dinner. With the kid reluctant to stop playing with his marbles. In the end he stops, with the last marble bouncing of the stairs to come gently at a halt ... finally, after a joyfull day off playing, the kid falls asleep ... in his dream the marbles come back:) Marbles on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPWNOYg4n6I

Reminds me of NEW MUSIC (as we call it in Germany), of minimal music at times, of folk themes at others, of a good time reflecting, thinking about life. Reminds me of a summer in the late 80s sitting in a Cafe at the Italian Riviera sipping Pastis and coming to the conclusion that life is not that bad after all. I especially like that you stay inside the boundaries musically, that you stick to themes and topics. Great!
