INTRODUCTION
AUTHOR INTRODUCTION
I’m a blunt writer. I’m not very descriptive. Unless I’m dealing with worlds no one on Earth has seen. Or if I’m describing contrasting worlds that set the story on fire.
I tell far more than I show. Storytelling is a telling art. I write prefaces to all my stories, for they all start in unfamiliar settings and radically new premises. I don’t have any control. Things such burst out, interrupting my stories with philosophical tirades, radical cosmic theories that should be obvious to everyone, and outrages at the unbelievable things this world entertains. The only thing you will probably digest is my rage. If you digest more, you are doing better than me.
If you think my stories are unbelievable? They aren’t. They are real! Despite for sixty years scientists having tried to refute it, the Many World Theory of quantum mechanics has remained irrefutable. It goes like this.
Here, I raise my hand consciously.; and in another slightly alternate universe, I don’t raise my hand. Both are real! Both lead to vastly different realities.
We are conscious of a ‘me ‘and conscious of a ‘not-me.’ And yet the Many World Theory of quantum physics demands there are many ‘yous,’ and many other ‘not-yous.’
The writer must follow the story no matter how many hurdles the story looms before him, no matter how hard it for the writer to swallow the story. No matter how much sacrifice the writer must endure to follow the story. For the story does the telling! The writer must crash and burn to follow it.
For we are living many different lives simultaneously. The story is just one of those me-ees and one of those not me-ees.
Thus, there is no fiction. There is no non-fiction. There is only the story, real somewhere, somewhere else just a dream. Yet, that else place is no place different at all.
and that dream place is no different at all!!
THE CALLBORATION
During the quiet solitude of the pandemic lockdown, Norm bought a piano and taught himself to play in the back room of Idea’s Music & Books. After countless days and nights spent composing melodies, he gathered a group of collaborators he calls The Five Winds, and began recording with Kali Navales (lead singer of reggae band Ooklah the Moc) and his daughter, Hana Marie Navales. Together, they brought to life the soundscape of Norm’s forthcoming novel, The Mirrors Of Creation.
A story drenched in beauty, music, and sacrifice: a father looks to the night sky, living as both a newborn star and a homeless man on Earth—existing in two dimensions of time at once. Beneath the stars, he shares tales of the "Living Stars" with his daughter. When he reveals the heartbreaking truth—that his mother star has sacrificed herself to the nothingness of Earth—his daughter pledges to help him find her and save her from fading into oblivion forever.
"AZEMETICAL"—a word coined by Norm, meaning asymmetrical squared—is the pulse of creation.
The album features 22 original tracks,
