NC and Partner, I included your joint rendition of "I Am Here With You", in a playlist that I developed [click on "Epic/Experimental Sound" link below] because it had such an uplifting quality to it. While this piece is quite different in many respects from the other selections, I thought it would be a good way to finish the session. I have been discussing with another listener, Nixe, the question of musical context [cc of my note to Nixe follows below] and I would be grateful if you would make a comment or two about this song and the setting. This would greatly enhance the enjoyment/perspective of the listeners of this song. Many thanks in advance.

[cc of my note to Nixe follows]:

Nixe, you overwhelm me with your detailed comments on my playlist, Epic/Experimental Sounds. In truth, this complilation grew iteratively "like Topsy" after I put together three or four pieces that seemed to have a common theme that reasonated with one part of my minds-ear which is given to open spaces and limitless horizons. I then kept adding, re-arranging, and even dropping songs [as in the good old days on a rainy Saturday afternoon sorting through those vinyl round things called "records" now, sadly, in storage] to reinforce and add nuance to that feeling that I think is universal and hard-wired into our DNA. [You or listeners of this playlist may find of interest the link to a separate blog thread (just provided) that makes for thought-provoking reading, particularly as this playlist is all the while reasonating in the background!]

Your own perspectives will greatly aid the current and, hopefully, growing listeners of my "Epic Sounds" playlist [whoever they may be] in appreciating what was, to me, an intuitive effort to combine a sense of grandeur and adventure [caravans and sweeping vistas of the mind and spirit] with innocence [which was, indeed, why I added "Baibaba Bimba" - what an uplifting piece.] Both the "externalized and internalized sense of universal wonder" as you well describe the over-all intent of the playlist was created in positive counterpoint and marked contrast to much of what is dark and brooding in our music today - also, for a reason [but that is another subject].

Thank you for sharing such experienced aural and intellectual sensibilities with the listeners of these pieces who can now take their own view of the combined works of these artists to another level. To me, as I tinker with this list, it can only get better.

On my side, I will now try to pull in the artists who make up this evolving list to add commentary if they wish. I hope some of them will, but, of course, that will be up to them as I can appreciate that many artists prefer for each piece to speak for itself. To me, the "name of the game" to advance music in the web-based era, however, is increased, rather than diminished, engagement between artist and listener. Let's see what happens next here [if anything] as I "copy and paste" this blog thread on the artists' sites.

Again, many thanks.
