An album with all the submissions is still available for free download <a href="http://www.projekction.net/p_2004/">here</a>.<br /></p><p>The title comes from the recognition of subjectivity as a fundamental principle of human experience. Thus, the piece can function as a reminder that experience is subjective.</p><p>Here is poetry complementary to this instrumental composition : <br /> <br /> <em><br /> Continuous unfolding from origins own<br /> No one else can ever stem from where I was sown<br /> On the way of knowing the meaning of to be<br /> Through this peculiar individuality<br /> <br /> Determining choices shape my trajectory<br /> No one else can ever see the vistas I see<br /> On the way of knowing my true identity<br /> The road unparalleled of a peerless journey<br /> <br /> Significance of seen is function of seer<br /> Yet the sum of observed impacts on observer<br /> How can one ever be identical to me<br /> Singular history mindset uniquity<br /> <br /> Similar events in dissimilar order<br /> Emphasize attitude and ascertain nature<br /> Polarize opinion and viewing preference<br /> My settings and options don't fit your sentience<br /> <br /> Networks of experiences for living browsers<br /> Oceans of perceptions human navigators<br /> Relying on beacons can only lead so far<br /> Time comes when there's no choice but trust inner radar<br /> <br /> He and she in a crowd hear attraction loudly<br /> You and me have no clue but they feel it strongly<br /> Their eyes had never met until this now moment<br /> Of all gathered only two know the sentiment<br /> <br /> Even that which is shared is viewed differently<br /> Often there's no choice but agree to disagree<br /> For some hell is found in another's paradise<br /> And sincere happiness in another's demise<br /> <br /> Unaware of the roles we play for each other<br /> And how what we convey is not what we utter<br /> It's a marvel we can communicate at all<br /> That some differences are more magnet than wall<br /> <br /> Though objects look the same meanings are exclusive<br /> Our worlds are matchless but they're coextensive<br /> A miracle of overlapping symmetry<br /> A formidable sensory thaumaturgy<br /> <br /> Navigate the six streams oceanic master<br /> And abide the torrents until there's no error<br /> If you run out of steam let the flow carry you<br /> If you run out of dreams I have plenty for two<br /> <br /> To keep an open mind is feat of great merit<br /> Guard what you have garnered but do not cling to it<br /> Please provide what I miss I'll return the favor<br /> Each of us here to learn better share the labor<br /> <br /> Though it may not seem much you have to play your part<br /> For we require it to draw a better chart<br /> Of this expanding space and time continuum<br /> All of us here in this enlightenarium</em><br /> <br /></p><p>The piece kept on evolving along the years, gaining a bridge with a brilliant solo that pushed the whole to new heights.

This comparatively short instrumental piece with an emphasis on shifting time and forward movement is intended to suggest a surge of energy that allows the removal of obstacles which prevent progress, and thus permits a successful completion.<br /></p><p>Here is the related poetry :<br /></p><p align="center">Tell me when are these times that I have dreams about<br /> Are they mere memories of better days gone by<br />Unsubstantial fancies fated to fade away<br />Or horizons waiting to be arisen to ?<br /><br />And the fire I felt when this hope was brand new<br />When not even Everest could have kept me from you<br />Has it burned its brightest or just given a hint<br />Does it smolder for chance or consume its last fuel ?<br /><br />And the bridge you promised would serve as my footing<br />Had I strayed from the path or was my step unsure<br />Perchance that fall was meant to complete my healing<br />So I'd see for myself what my strength could endure ?<br /><br />Weren't you the blue bird that had awaken me<br />As I laid in the cold suffering of torment<br />Sung me out of starving, loathing and lethargy<br />Invited me to rise and resume my ascent ?<br /><br />As I now look forward to more of your magic<br />Contemplating what so far had kept me bemused<br />Just ahead are the times I have dreamt ecstatic<br />I see the horizons and I am reinfused</p></div>In The Vortex (revisited -
