about

Aspects of Time & Being

“All the time right now is all there ever is, each being-time
is without exception entire time…Entire being, entire world,
exists in the time of each and every now.”
~ Dogen Zenji from ‘Uju’ (Being-Time)

There is no moment but the present moment. Life is a continuous series of present moments. This music is a continuous series of vibrations that only exist when we engage with them in the present moment.

This recording is the culmination of ideas I have developed and expanded over the past few years. The music I create is an ever evolving form. What I play in this moment will be different in the next moment. Immerse yourself and let go of time. ~ MB

I've never heard anything else like this. I was fortunate to see Simon in Australia last January at MOFO and his playing and ideas are unique. This album blows me away. Check it out! Michael Bettine

Illusory
by JARBOE

I love this recording and find that it takes me to other realms. I often play it when I need to be in a creative mood. Jarboe's music seems to know me better than I know myself. Michael Bettine
