Be by Dave Preston Dave Preston : Be.
 Intense ambient guitar over a sonic kaleidoscope.

Be Creative and BeIng were recorded at the same time - the same moment. They always felt like brothers. The concept for these tracks was to take the idea of creation, the act of being creation and turning it into a spiraling, chaotic, yet controlled piece - with so much haste to reveal the creation that unraveled itself into this world. BeIng is that very unraveling - the curtain call for Be Creative. Images of a human discovering the body they reside in kept running through my mind while composing and hearing it.

Be Joy is a circular piece - a mantra. The two sections always constantly becoming one another. Composing this, I knew it was right to go to the opposite section when my craving for it could not wait any longer.

Be True formed first among the other pieces and personally, it sounds like it. It's an infant, playful, peaceful, and full of joy. Yet, some noises may give you a hint at another thought. While the melody if easy to listen to, the rolling and sweeping sonics that appear in the background hint at a different understanding of truth all together.

Be Alive is passion. Full of peaks and valleys. A sonic land scape. By far the hardest piece to manifest for the series of pieces. I only recorded parts for this track when completely in the mindset of intense passion. Those beautiful vocals are front man from Glowing House, Steve Varney.

Be Different and Be Something are minimalistic. These two are miles apart from Be Alive on the sonic landscape, yet polar opposites on one another. Be Different sings to the earth while Be Something chants to the ocean. Ying and Yang but folding into each other.

Be Hope, the cousin of Be Alive. Brimming with life, but with a twist. This is the manifestation of Hope - where none exists.
