WINDING PATH (KYOKURO) This is one of the two compositions not written for this album (the other is "Playground"), but the present arrangement is quite different from the original which (don't laugh) was done as a commercial piece on the theme of "Afghanistan Cowboys." As you hear it here, the odd meter is meant to evoke the "Winding Path" of the title. I personally like all these unusual rhythms; it may be just my background as a drummer showing through, but I feel that they give the ear something to "hold onto" and add interest. MUSIC STUFF: The first half is in 7/8 time (3 + 2 + 2), while the second half is in the more common 4/4 time.
