A selection of Expansive Music Compositions
Author: Adisha Kariyawasam
“Expansive music… music created in the moment contains a myriad of possible outcomes, and is able to be something that goes beyond the underlying architecture.”
Introduction
Over the years I have been composing many pieces of music that have collectively formed part of a formidable musical library. The craft of composing music is extremely rewarding and gives me meditative focus and a tremendous amount of satisfaction. My style can be described as improvisational as many of the pieces are created 'in the moment'. In turn, this style lends itself well to the creation of 'expansive music' as expressed in the quote at the top of this post. What follows in this post is a selection of these tracks for your listening pleasure. Where possible, I have also created visuals to accompany the audio tracks.Music list:
1. Life Force
2. Sunrise
3. Metacognition
4. Meditation by Moonlight
5. Eternal Dream
* Tip: On smartphones, select 'Listen in browser' option to hear the audio tracks directly and bypass installing the SoundCloud App.
Track 1: Life Force
Life Force is an electronic instrumental piece of music inspired by that spark of fire and energy that lives at the core of our being, from where Strength, Courage, Vitality, and Peace of Mind flows. I wanted to write a piece of music that told a story of evolutionary transformation and cultural change. You will hear it grow from a very timid simple repeating 16 note melody foundation that evolves into a bold military style piece and this was no accident.

Sunrise is an expansive piece of music, created 'in-the-moment' and inspired by the light nature and knowledge provided by our primary energy source, the sun. We are blessed to wake up each day and witness the miracle of life. I hope this piece inspires you.
A gentle, improvised 'in the moment' instrumental inspired by the word "Metacognition". Metacognition is a higher-order thinking that enables understanding, analysis, and control of one’s cognitive processes, especially when engaged in learning."
