WORDS CAN'T GO THERE (HIGAN - THE OTHER SHORE; ENLIGHTENMENT)
There are expressions possible with music that can help us into a "space of quiet." Words, because they are symbols, unlike musical sounds, cannot take us into that space. From this comes the title of this piece which (taking my own advice) I won't attempt to describe any further.

MUSIC STUFF: There is no set rhythm in this work, although there are patterns within some of the phrases, of course. I am exploring new tonal colors here, and this explains why you may think you hear, at times, two or three different notes at once. (This, by the way, was not achieved with the use of overdubbing or artificial echo, but instead with special fingerings and other techniques.)

Someone once told me they thought they could still hear the sound of my shakuhachi after the song had ended and I'd put the instrument down. I don't really know if that's possible, but it is sort of the effect I was trying for on the end of this album - something that lingers after all the rest has been said and played.
