    Anitya is the result of Meg Anderson and Jeremy Cox's six-month adventure traveling all over the US to record their brilliant friends from October 2010 - March 2011. The album was released in April 2011, so we are coming up on the ten year anniversary and our fans are still thoroughly enjoying. Most people who hear it love it. We hope you are one of those people.

    The name for the album comes from the Buddhist concept that everything in the universe, without exception, is in constant flux.

    We are all feeling this uncertainty and flux very acutely in 2020 -- The music, with classical vocal influences (Meg Anderson) and Jazz percussion and arrangement (Jeremy Cox) a soothing and groovy ride that make a wonderful gift for this Christmas of 2020.

    Includes unlimited streaming of Anitya via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

about

Heard the opening riff in 2006 then eventually arranged it for an adaptation of The Waves I did in November 2009 called "B for Butterfly Powder". Jeremy then added instrumentation and percussion for the recorded version.

lyrics

how proudly we sit here
dazzle of youth
all's clear all's firm 
without shadow or illusion
our flesh is firm and cool
our differences are clear cut
 
as the shadow of rocks in full sunlight
days and days are to come
the fruit is swollen beneath the leaf
winter days summer days
 
with infinite time before us
what shall we do
watch the coals turn crimson
reach for books shout with laughter?
all is to come
 
for one moment only before the chain breaks
before disorder returns see us held in a vice
but now the circle breaks the current flows the passions grow
and pound us with their waves jealously envy desire
and now something deeper than they stronger than love
and more subterranean 
net of light loop of time ring of steal white words
islands of light swimming on the grass
 
with infinite time before us
what shall we do
watch the coals turn crimson
reach for books shout with laughter?
all is to come
 
i ccould make a dozen stories 
of what he said of what she said
and i can see a dozen pictures
but what are stories toys i twist bubbles i 
blow one ring passing througha nother
and sometimes i doubt that there are stories
what is my story what is rhoda's what is neville's
there is truth there is fact 
that it true that is fact
but beyond is all darkness and conje . . .  cture
