Song Information:
To the instrumental version of Rock Garden I offer this poem.
With the exception of the vocals, I composed Rock Garden entirely with samples from the MacIDOL sample library, graciously donated by Richie Fingers, using the emporer gong, Apollo chime 9, egg 3, Tibetan chod drum, rainstick 3, and zynergy. I used the Speedster plugin to tune the zynergy sample to different pitches, and the Inspector plugin to help with production.
Modifications
4/3/2005: Redid vocals with GB2 and new mic. Remastered with Audacity.
4/5/2005: Bumped up levels on vocals so they don't diappear in earbuds.

Song Lyrics:
Boulders float darkly
In a bright, white pebble sea
Pondering raked waves
Wind raises her voice.
Trees rattle leaves in reply,
Drowning out the brook
Moonlight floods the path,
Betraying my lamplessness,
Showing me decay
Mossy boulders scorn
Intruding leaves in pebbles,
Flat for want of rake
I once had hope, a
Cheerful face smiling at Dawn,
Not scowling at Night
Wind speaks through the chimes,
"Body fading frees Spirit.
Move forward, not back."
I pause, close my eyes,
And probe beyond with my soul.
Farewell my garden...
