A Space Where We Can Be (In Our Space part 2)

[Christopher Stewart]

("Fugue" by Wassily Kandinsky)

The central theme of « In Our Space » is the idea of building, of perhaps finding or reaching, a space where one is free to simply be themselves and do as they feel they should.

At the personal level, this corresponds to finding true purpose and staying in alignment with it, remaining centered at all times in that ideal sacred space, or pure land.

The second part of « In Our Space » is an instrumental entitled « A Space Where We Can Be » which comprises two movements.

The first movement is an energetic passage that is intended to convey a joyful and uplifting feeling, the enthusiasm that comes from being in that desired space.

The music then morphs into the second movement, a 6-voice fugue during which Christian will leave the drum stool to play the vibraphone while the bassist will have to handle both bass and bass pedals. The intent behind this section is to depicts one settling into their space after the initial discovery, and then moving into a consolidation and expansion phase.

In the audio clip included above, « A Space Where We Can Be » begins at 1:07.
