Two new pieces of music. Wildly different. One takes a more retro experimental-electronic approach inspired by listening to Ursula Bogner's recent work.
The second is quite a cheery, mid 90's Nightmares on Wax-like downtempo thing.
Have also been reading a lot about Spiral Dynamics recently:
At each stage of human existence the adult is off on his quest of the holy grail, the way of life he seeks by which to live. At his first level he is on a quest for automatic physiological satisfaction. At the second level he seeks a safe mode of living, and this is followed in turn by a search for herioc status, for power and glory, by a search for ultimate peace; a search for material pleasure, a search for affectionate relations, a search for respect of self, and a search for peace in an incomprehensible world. And, when he find he will not find that peace, he will be off on his ninth level quest.
As he sets off on each quest, he believes he will find the answer to his existence. Yet, much to his surprise and much to his dismay, he find at every stage that the solution to existence is not the solution he has come to find. Every stage he reaches leaves him disconcerted and perplexed. It is simply that as he solves one set of human problems he finds a new set in their place. The quest he find is never ending."
