Welcome to Sound Possibilities. As a singer, songwriter, guitarist, lifelong student and sometimes teacher of music, I have always been fascinated by the many forms sound can take. As we perceive it, sound surrounds us. We mass-produce it and consume recordings of it, yet subtler cosmic sound sustains us, lifts us up and even contains us. As beautiful music, sound can charm us, as noise pollution, sound can harm us.
Around the world and throughout time music and sound have been used for healing, for reaching out and teaching, for feeling thoughts and thinking feelings, for raps and reels and ecstatic forms of preaching. For keeping time and making rhymes. The beating hearts of nations rise and fall to anthems that we all sing, enchanted and inspired by the rhythm and the breath of re-creation. And so it is no wonder that the spell I am most often under is that of music and of sound if for no other reason than the rhythm of the seasons and the cycles of the tides. For in the voice of the spirit I can hear it, and it is in the mind of the universe where the soul resides.
So I have woven this web of pages with tales from all ages past and present, myths and legends that last and stand the test of time. We spin the yarns and tell the tales so that our children’s children will not fail to learn and will not burn in ignorance, but will shine in grace as they take their place in the future of this world. In transit across the plane of space and time we transmit a grand design, the secrets of the universe, the music of the spheres, in reason and in rhyme. For in science and in art as in music and in math, we follow beauty’s path and wind it’s logic into the warp and weave of life’s great tapestry so the truth is there for all to see, a rhapsody so rare. We assemble and we organize all these facts and figures in such a way that the wisdom of our ancestors will live in song today and in the future, time will tell that the well of time was deep, but in truth our songs will keep us in their care. - Tim McKamey
