In this audiocast we shall take a look at the veil of concepts in the mind and the experience that resides behind that veil... freely accessible to those who dare to go beyond it, for those who dare to let their concepts go. Awareness and bliss are forever present, forever at hand for those who open their hand and let go of what it tightly holds. Click the Play button below to listen now

Here’s some piano music for your enjoyment. I generally play with my eyes closed… often early in the morning or late at night.Due to not looking at the keyboard I sometimes hit the keys incorrectly (like overlapping onto the neighbouring key), so sometimes things will clash a little. As I am recording this live there is no way to make corrections. Some day I'll have a keyboard that inputs into a computer... then I'll be able to correct the obvious errors. Technically I don’t know how to play the piano and have no idea what key I am in, but somehow I manage to get by intuitively and for the most part it sounds like music!! Increasingly people tell me they enjoy the music that arises when I sit at a piano, so here it is for you to also enjoy. On this page is a list of all the various songs I have made available on the blog for easy access to them all. You can play them below... If you start a new player before another one has finished, remember to pause the other one first.
