Fabian Otten - Samsara for Marimba Solo

"Samsara" is the buddhist word for the cycle of existence, not only in means of rebirth but rather describing the attempt of gaining happiness through worldly materialistic goods, always aiming for more, for better circumstances. We think, we will be happier with serving our ego, we want to be better than others, want to be highly regarded by others. These thoughts are binding us to the samsara. That's the first part of the piece - a theme of predetermined fate, reminding of 'Dies Irae‘, driven by emotions trying to hold on something consistent which doesn't exist. The second part, beginning with a calm ostinato and a soft peaceful melody is like a meditation - we find our peace in ourselfes through states of mind like love, compassion, patience, equanimity, regarding all living beings and the dependent origination. The emotions are under control and for the first time the real happiness of being free from desires and temper shows up, but later looses itself again with digressing thoughts. The rest of the piece plays with the contrast of the two themes and ends with reminiscences of the inner peace.
