Program Notes: The Santosha Project

Everyone is an amateur when they are doing something that they are unfamiliar with.

Music is more of a Verb than it is a Noun.

Santosha is a Sanskrit word that refers to the contentedness that is drawn from a one pointed knowledge of the Self.

The text is: '‘… and in and of it would seem to thus be of not in or at that could be…'

The rhythmic proportions are drawn from fictional Change Ringing patterns.
