The Expanding Universe

This one's about thoughts
No, this is not about astronomy or physics, nor about theories of superstrings or the big bang... well, not in an astronomical sense anyway. This is about how fragile the concept of stability can be. We all seek it, yearn for it, aspire to give and be given stability. But the truth is that as romantic as that concept is to us in a relationship or in friendship, it can never be fulfilled, even if promised with the best of intentions. Each of us is an expanding universe with big bangs that shape us from within.

Big bangs are waiting to happen everywhere, we don't have to travel 15 billion years into the past to see one (or many ;)), just listen and hear it happening with your family, friends and loved ones. Not all of them are bad, in fact I believe that the scale of good and bad is even in this case. And yet, the perpetual change is what we love to fear and fear to love. Stability is the dream we wake up from with each bang, with each pulse of expansion. The expansion doesn't come at the cost of the people you love, it's usually when you rearrange your inner galaxies to make more room for them. :)

Currently I'm working on a track I called 'Questions of the Stars' which is a result of such big bang that threw me back in time... 14 years back actually. Back when I was trying as hard as I could to imitate the greatest years of music in the history of mankind (in my opinion, anyway) - the 80s. I called it by that name because the space race has affected a lot of the art in the 70s and 80s and music is no exception. Space Age trends popped everywhere and such influences exist in my track as well. If the name is familiar to you from a phrase you heard or read somewhere, you're not mistaken. :)

dan   stability or security are illusions. there simply is none to be had in the external world. the only stability or security we can have is confidence in our own ability to deal with whatever happens next. some call this faith, some call it living in the moment, but because we can never be sure of what will happen next, we just have to trust our own ability to make decisions and take action when necessary. cool site, btw

Speak up! Stop muttering!

So, what is this?

This is the official website of DNA-Groove (or Eliran Ben Ishai). He is a musician who lives in Tel Aviv, Israel and composes music with passion. He doesn't like to speak about himself in the 3rd person, so I'll just say that you are welcome to listen and speak, download and share everything here. Thank you for coming.
