	Story Behind the Song Minimalism has been a constant inspiration for me over the years. Not only Westerners like Steve Reich, Terri Riley, and Brian Eno, but indigenous tribal music for ritual and celebration; Balinese, Moroccan, Quwali, Tibetan, Native American etc. This piece reflects the respect and gratitude I have for these influences. ------------------------------------------- Newsflash: Finally, the Rock has come back to the music industry. Well, I have discovered Sonic Foundry's Acid Pro and I am thrilled. The ergonomic way in which I can compose now is so transparant and the beautiful thing is it's very similar to the way i have always constucted my compositions, even in my analog days. I used to record pallates of sound on the analog tracks and mix them in as needed. So rather than parts, per se, each track ran the full length of the song and was simply a color to add and subtract. Also, the loops available, especially the world music instrumentaion, are performed with the same aesthetic I would play them.
