Male Content - Thomas Simpson - The King's Noyse [from Mascharada]
empty set?
an ordered texture of durations
several orders of embedded ordered textures of durations
Alla Polacca in G, Wq. 116/8 - C.P.E. Bach - Miklos Spanyi
scraps cut to not fit quite just so
wide-eyed cinematic distance
a pickup of three eighth-notes and a downbeat played as
a pickup of three quarter-note triplets and a downbeat, all offset by half of a quarter-note triplet
or fairly like that
October - U2 [from October]
brief
the piano figuration could turn in upon itself intriguingly
but won't
Banned Rehearsal 90 - Karen Eisenbrey, Keith Eisenbrey, Doug Haire, Neal Kosály-Meyer, Wally Shoup [June 1986]
the third of seven sessions made on June 7, 1986, in the attempt (successful) to get to 100 by the time Neal left for San Diego later that month
back at the half house
tape to the window
sacrifice the television
Wally is reading from my listening journal which I had been keeping for 3 months at that time and of which this blog is an extension 33 years later
working backwards bloglike
instructions for the Realistic mixer
Karen's going to make cookies
run the output through the ox
back in time we are in two
at once of times
time travel
time's return
sounds of us recording sounds
life within the veil
all the objects this signal has passed through
as it passes from skull to skull
mix thoroughly
combine ingredients
Salute to John Philip Sousa - The Canadian Brass [from Red, White & Brass]
what was the first military force to have a band?
or has music always lured us off to war
you can almost smell the outdoor air
in which
I perform on piano
exciting its harp and board
by amplifying recorded other musics
into its underparts
by signaling to Tom
who operated the ingoing sounds
with my hat
on the music rack

Dhunki - Mere Brothers Ki Dulhan [from Bollygood Vol. 1]
with so much money evident in the production the question of heartfeltness seems inappropriate
like one of JKR's "farts in church"
Banned Telepath 49 Mississippi River Brewery - Aaron Keyt [June 2016]
sounds glinting off the echo shiny walls
a box of jewels flashing
Mascharada - Nicolaus Blyer - - The King's Noyse [from Mascharada]
the multiple tempo changes make this seem a much bigger piece than can quite fit in a minute twenty four
fabulous instrument (fortepiano?) seems to have a damper pedal
Bach the J.S. used music to exert intellectual control
Bach the C.P.E. used music to consider music
or
given the tremendous gifts of B the C.P.E.
personal, peculiar
what must it have been like to have B the J.S. as dad?
Hitch Hike - The Sonics [from Boom]
rhythmhornB3 has a luscious fuzz all through it
Introspection (take 1) - Thelonius Monk [from The London Collection]
the melody
within itself
loses itself in itself
finds within itself
melody itself

Wild Wild Life - Talking Heads [from True Stories]
it's so clean!
so clean the words don't even register
except as placeholders within the songwritery songwriting
Can You Dig It? - Thee Emergency [from Can You Dig It]
showcase: I'm what you got left (all of it)
Time Stratifications I Through a Glass Darkly - S. Eric Scribner [from Stormsound Cycle, May 2011]
flirt with adding
up to a sequence
resist
congealing into
a texture might be
commentary mostly
mutter art
Tetua (Jai Gangaajal) - Sukhwinder Singh, Salim- Salaiman [from Bollygood Vol. 1]
mid
distant
too close

Mascharada der Edel Frawen - William Brade - The King's Noyse [from Mascharada]
a genteel quicker but not really quick bit
a breathtaking slow few phrases
rounded by quick slowing to slow
Keyboard Sonata in A Major, Wq. 65/43 - C.P.E. Bach - Miklos Spanyi
master of do-overs and sharp turns
sudden shade
in this music the weather changes always
I Met Him On A Sunday - The Shirelles [from The Shirelles Anthology]
cycling through voices
one for each day
great clapping part!
Introspection (take 3) - Thelonius Monk [from The London Collection]
recorded to make you feel like you're in the keyboard seat
