WORDS: Time waits for no one. I know u told me so. My child, take time, explore the sights. Understand. That ur here only temporarily, only rarely, temporal. Those that care come to declare meaning here & over there. I'm reaching towards something, something more. Those that care come to declare, meaning here & over there.

Horizon 02:25
lyrics

WORDS: Best not wait to discuss where to stand on the cusp of dusk. Holding hands, holding hearts, holding minds, holding souls...I will not abandon you. I will stay here, see it through. It's not perfect, but we're still two, on ur horizon cresting for a view. With the dawn & dusk- emerges trust, emerges trust. Embers of the heart, stoked by the soul, on each horizon a new day unfolds... I will not abandon you. I will stay here, see it through. It's not perfect, but we're still two, on ur horizon cresting for a view. On the horizon...

WORDS: I call through the night, light be known. Emboldened by the fight, light be known. The answer is in sight(inside), light be known. Respected in this plight, light be known. For a shadow cannot be cast without light you see (Light Be Known). Ever so contrite, light be known. Remorse & regret, light be known. It's not over yet, light be known. The dimness misconstrued, light be known. For a shadow cannot be cast without light you see (Light Be Known). Light be known. Light be known. Light be known. Light be known. Light be known.

Prayer or Preyer 02:07
lyrics

WORDS: Brandishing a new type of weapon. Pray for me to make it through this prayer. Pray for me to stake claim, fortuitous stare. Pray for me to transcend, all that i care. Pray for me to pray in accordance with his flare. Pray a stumbling block is a steppin stone to there. Funny how it's no laughin matter. Funny how it's no laughin matter. Look at that smile, look at those pearlies. It's never too late, folx. Perhaps. It's never to late. Pray for me to be more meritorious. Pray for me to be more less inglorious. Pray for me to go to a place i pray. Find me a station...on the radio...that won't indoctrinate my palate... too late...

WORDS: Let's not pretend, that it didn't begin. It never ends; ohh it never ends...I cry out from inside. Contemplating the answer. Knowing nothing above all. Residing patiently between breaths. A materialized apparition. ALL FEAR IN REMISSION(HEAL). ALL FEAR--REMISSION...REMISSION RE-MISSION. I cry out from inside. Contemplating the answer. Knowing nothing above all. Residing patiently between breaths...

about

Maintaining the EXPRESSION NOT PERFECTION approach "Ad Infinitum... & Then Some" continues to build on the experimental; with a deeper focus on the spiritual spectrum. It carries the occasionally whimsical, intermittently capricious, colorful collection(s) of noise & textural audioscapes of "Skullorful" too. All trax were woven together & arranged with vox + prefab, selected & at times manipulated loops/samples. Each track was not hyper-focused or ruminated on but was done in a rapid like fashion typified by the one take only, no do-overs approach.The lyrics & the various vocal textures were often brewed, spun & spawned on the spot & remain as a centerpiece. If something was errant yet even marginally tolerable it was left to become a part of the audio tapestry.

Furthermore, there was no real/proper mix-down, engineering, mastering or production on each track (experiment). Record, quick edit & release being the M.O. Purposely there's a raw simplicity present as the recording qualities, equalization(s) & volume(s) might vary from time to time. It should be noted that one fundamental-objective is to convey & link non-homogenized sounds & messages
into some semblance of cohesion.

"Ad Infinitum... & Then Some" contains 13 trax/experiments. 13 was selected purposefully as it relates to Kabbalah; b/c not only does echad (One)=13, but the Hebrew word ahava (love) also has a numerical value of 13 ... The yod-י hay-ה vav-ו hay-ה (Hashem) name has a gematria(numerical value) of 2 X 13 = 26.

***THIS ALBUM IS DEDICATED TO ALL WHO ARE EXPERIENCING PHYSICAL, MENTAL OR SPIRITUAL ANGUISH. MAY EACH & EVERY ONE OF US INVOKE A MEASURE OF HEALING & CENTERING IN THIS LIFE & BEYOND***

Arrangements, editing & lyrics by Stephen Safer except for The Crystal Ship by The Doors

**Thanx & cheers for ur time & ears!**
