Comment:

Japanese rock gardens, often called "Zen Gardens," were influenced mainly by Zen Buddhism and can be found at Zen temples of meditation. Each is a unique, living work of art, ever changing, never the same and never finished. Surely a metaphor for the universe and life cycles among other things.

When fritz1 and I undertook the making of this mix, it was in the spirit of designing a rock garden. It is our second mix together, though the first to be posted as of yet. We are presently working on a 4th installment. Like the karesansui (rock gardens) this mix goes through many cycles before resolving with a strange folk tune by Tim Buckley followed by a traditional Chinese song by a group of musicians from Inner Mongolia. The mix only comes to you in download as one long track as it is inten~ded to be heard at one sitting.

The rock gardens can be extremely abstract and can represent mind-scapes as well. We like to think of this mix in similar terms.

For the quiz, name the musician who is related to pop/jazz star Norah Jones. A free copy (track marked) with artwork awaits the winner.
