Practice any art, music, singing, dancing, acting, drawing, painting, sculpting, poetry, fiction, essays, reportage, no matter how well or badly, not to get money and fame, but to experience becoming, to find out what’s inside you, to make your soul grow.
Seriously! I mean starting right now, do art and do it for the rest of your lives.
– Kurt Vonnegut
Create! begins with a gathering of atoms playfully dancing a tango in 7/8 time. As the tempo and energy builds, these individual atoms transform into a complete individual.
This being is ‘awakened by wonder’ by its very existence in a world of wonders. Now it yearns to experience becoming. Through art, creativity, play, whatever we choose to name it, this gathering of atoms begins to discover what’s inside of it – a world within.
Every life is an expression of the universe expanding, of becoming.

I’ll be releasing the final piece from As the Universe Expands here on Thursday 26 June, the official release date for the album, when it will be available on all streaming platforms.
In the meantime, it’s available for download and on CD at Bandcamp.
