It is something to be said with certainty that no one would deny his/her right to know truth─ fidelity of life. Rather the question that is to be sought is what is the truth.

Mr P once said there exists a world, a perfect one, over this world we live in. This world is only a reflection of the perfection that exist somewhere outside of this dimension of life.

Among the creatures of the Earth, for being imperfect reflections of truth, humans can create. However the creation can never reach the quality of the real one since for being a copy of something else.

Mr A then talks about how world is based on its realization of truth. Although truth will be there, somewhere but we do not know where, where it reveals would be here on earth. What pleases us is to dig out what we know, to realize what's revealed.

According to Mr A, creation is an imitation. A mimesis that reveals truth. A mimesis that reveals truth. A mimesis that reveals truth. Through rediscovery, Mr A rediscover delights of knowledge, truth, and the world.

Then Herr H insists; TRUTH is something which allows to see what hasn't seen yet, to give birth to what hasn't existed yet. What ART ought to do is to reveal the unseen, to show the forgotten, to tell the forgiven.

%% INNOVATION
/break { code }
/oxymoron { beauty = vulgar }

%% Commencing the answer

/truth of the age
{ Strive to remain the individual against the violence of standardization }

The universe is a closed labyrinth.

There is no outward, there is no inward; and all the passages will never reach the destination.

They are not right, nor wrong, rather they are true and false simultaneously.

Then what is there for us to do?

%% Lineage

/Resemblance

/similitude

{ Mirror, mask, dagger }

* the sublime
─the beauty a man must not seek after

-Composition.
The questions arose; certainly no one can't answer why music exists. But one can still pursue these set of inquiries regardless of their overwhelming demands.

What is the point?
Why does one write music?
Why we enjoy music and how does the music do so?
Or is that more of asking why we as human beings are given birth and life?
Does it have something to do with our origin?
Is it in us?

Even then, what lies beyond?
What would the future be? What is our purpose to it?
Why do we live and what do we live for?

Or even, What must be done?
What is a future we want?
What is a future the world wants?

If there's a way, a way how the worlds must be,
.... what can you do? What is that you can contribute?

What can I do?

What can I train myself, what can I enjoy, what can I certainly pursue

-pursue it with all my heart until I die-

, which will be more than just myself, just my family, just this little world of an individual?

A Standard Telecaster.

A good roommate of mine came over for the first weekend of March, we spent some meaningful time together.

Mostly, the biggest event was him buying a guitar for me. (In fact, he owed me some cash, and I suggested to buy something for me to pay off)

Voila
There we were, we went to the Long & McQuade, checked out a long-yearned Telecaster. Because of our budget, we only could afford one Made in Mexico.

Sun burst body,
bright yellow neck.
Soft and nice touch.

Although the pickup is not as great as my first guitar, Gibson Lucile, and it makes quite a noise on a high gain, overall the guitar is very slick and smooth for its price, indeed. Well it's a Telecaster for Roy's sake!

With the telecaster, there is the song by Master Buchanan I must learn; The messiah will come again.

The true pilgrimage shall have begun...

ã€ŒAlthough a being named "I" still remains, if all others forgot about the being, "I" don't exist.

The thing called "I", this thing doesn't only exist in this body, but all others, it also exist within all other things, there "I" remain.

That's what! All that "I" remain within, there lies "I". That's how "we" live on. That's what human being is!ã€

The words of Interruption

Rua — Wed, 22 Feb 2006 02:19:14 -0600

With a cost of damaging my laptop's egde, my trip to the University College of Conrad Grebel was worth, where I started to writing this song.

//Removed embedded - Currently being uploaded to Utub//

It's fun to hear people's response, because for almost every composition of mine, they get titled by random thoughts depending on the situation or the "mood" at the moment. This time, a good friend of mine from Grebel gave me fresh and consolable name of Sun Stereo.

This is Sun Stereo played by Black Angels, composed by Rua Reasons.

This is yet an intro and a first verse without lyrics, and I am currently working on further elements.

(Continued...)

And Welcome to the PI, Mike! We Salute you.

Be My Valentine: Music Mix #6 - Irrespressible

Rua — Tue, 14 Feb 2006 00:45:32 -0600

Yet this is the eve of the St Valentine's day, this is the moment at the night that people are in asleep waiting for the dawn to reveal this one day. The day would mean nothing, but for those who keep the real meaning of the day will know and remember by heart to spread the true love that is supposed and deserved to be .

....I know it's late, and I can't think
I will revise when I am sober, ha!
I appologize for the jargons.

However the music does not forsake us!

Here I have 'one hit wonder' The Rosenbergs:
Overboard

Sonata Arctica:
Broken

Athlete:
You Know

Well.... but love might.

Be My Valentine: Music Mix #4 - Classic

Rua — Sun, 12 Feb 2006 21:59:52 -0600

Now, it will be nice and fresh to look 'back' in time for our sweet and loveful songs, and enjoying music does not concern any Ideology or Monetary.

So here it goes, once again, it's time to 'speak up', if you did not get any chance for the other 364Â±1. Spead the mood by listening, sharing these songs with us.

Composed by once the greatest piano master, Franz Liszt, the man with two z in his name, this melodic song brings great voluptuous pleasure yet visionary sensual quiteness, sounds easy to play yet extremely recondite. This nocturn #3 is named "a Love Dream" â”€LiebestrÃ¤ume

Here I have three different versions of the piece.

Old school studio pop classic;
By Mr Richard Clayderman

Chill-out jazzy interpretation;
By Ike Quebec

and by the original transcript...

By Evgeny Kissin

D-2,
Enjoy the Love in the air!

Be My Valentine: Music Mix #2 - Infatuation

Rua — Fri, 10 Feb 2006 23:50:12 -0600

Unexpected Music relay!!

Here comes Rua's version of "yet" valentine love songs.
Synchronized 400% with my personal taste, I could'nt resist to send an email to the composer, asking for the sheet music of the song.

The melody line is truly amazing, insanely beautiful.
Especially that "a shadow has swept across my heart", try to listen close, because it really did sweep so.

The Great Man Mr Mike Downes lives in Toronto, playing the bass, writing good songs.

Here, I introduce; "Haunted" sung by Molly Johnson, written by Mike Downes.

Molly Johnson - Haunted

By the way, He really sent me the sheet music , and it was truly insanely beautiful as it was truly insanely hard. HA!! First two chords are EmM7+9 and FM7+#11.

Enjoy and be loveful!

"I'm haunted~ by your memory~"

I am not sure all you who come and go here are the sons and daughters of 80s and 90s gaming generation, yet I have to tell that the generation of Super Robot Wars is somewhat unique and must stand up for its cumulated culture.

(breath)

Yes, I said something about Gaming and Super Robot Wars, and of course, you do not need to know everything about them just to understand what I would post down here today. This is just a short four-cut pan art which uses the characters of the game.

Dr. Hell is a boss villain originally from an animation called "Mazinger". And the little girl, Irui, is Dr. Hell's grand-daughter. The robot that's in the first cut is the "Mazinger", the 'anti-villain'. The Japanese TV animation show has seven different series of the kind, with all kinds of suffix. (like those of Gundam series). I won't leave all the detail just to introduce, so enjoy.
