"The sun rises in the east and it sets in the west
And a day happens in-between.
Chroisyavana greets the dawning and the sunlight stretches in.
Hear the laughter.
Dinisdugavindaveda,
Everything is new when I am in tune.
Dinisdugavindaveda, oh!
The sun rises in the east and it sets in the west
And a day happens in-between."
I'm guessing I recorded this sometime in 1977 when I was 19 years old. Inspired by mysticism, I wrote the song, sing, play all the instruments, if memory serves. I multitracked this recording with two tape recorders. The first recording made the basic track of upright piano with my vocal put through an amp to add reverb. I then played the recording back through speakers into a second miced recorder while I performed acoustic guitar. I then repeated the process to eventually include bass guitar. Perhaps I added the vocal last, I cannot recall. This process generated a lot of noise so I applied noise reduction many years later.
The image is a linoleum print I made in 1977 entitled "Figure-Ground of Being." Here's where you can see more of my artwork from the era: http://michaelanthonybohacz.name/college_pictures.html.
