I abandoned the project after having problems with my Vegas editor and then shelved it indefinitely I'm posting this draft so that you can hear the music and get the feel of what I was after. I hope you like it. :) Music was composed by me using a combination of live and digital instruments. I wrote a poem for it which was either to be recited or displayed in text. It is as follows: On cavern walls of ages spent where shadows meet 'til dawn Where captive eyes shine ember-bright with tales of tooth and claw Where dreamings past unto the last, the haunted mind's foray The ochred and the sacred in imaginings portrayed Behold this sandstone gallery of the living ghosts of man Rendered bold in blood and longing's future-dreaming hand The daggered horn, the eagle eye, the chase, escape, the plunder The dust-plume smell of flight and the wild echoed grassland thunder Written in the common earth or on the waters shared Where the servants and the masters are equals uncompared The same trail, the same air, the same seed the same space, the same soil, the same future dared Where the servant has no better, enjoined from the one seed, the heir Within this world a note declares that life is of one spore On cavern walls they tell us thus, secure for ever more
