Peter Piper - Lake Washington Singers, Betty Eisenbrey, director [April 1966]
an adorable plush toy of a piece
Big Sister's Clothes - Elvis Costello [from Trust]
His song smithery is respectable
though I'm not sure those weird sound intro-outro bits do it any favors
The Turning - Screaming Trees [from Clairvoyance]
Syd Barrett in the new world
Jeremy - Pearl Jam [from Rearviewmirror]
this song doesn't need its presented size in sound, this need to fill a large space, inflated into stadium architecture. It belongs in a cosmically smaller sort of infinite space. There is no room, no crevice, withintowhich we might slip secure.
that moving inner voice on the im of immolatum
a spark to die for
Carnival Overture - Antonín Dvořák [from Naxos The Very Best of Dvořák]
barker, more like
Come on in! Thrills Chills Romance and Joy!
Illuminations!
Fireworks!
Skyrockets!
wonder magic
Gradus 195 - Neal Kosály-Meyer - Neal Kosály-Meyer [August 2011]
3 rungs in memory of John Cage the rehearsal
measuring out a long space circling past fixtures
then relativistically from the other side having been passed over after passing over the threshold to an otherly measured time
another thing Gradus is:
as the whole of Gradus is:
a piece about thinking about pitch space that acts like a micro-neural network brain flash
a crawler arising from within its own context
alarm will sound
distant accordions on the echo walls
Ocean Ambience Rocky Coastline Vol. 1 Part 1 - Pete Comleythe sea snores by the sea shells
and we have heard her
the sea caressing smooth her pebbles
for how long has the sea been making sand
the hands of the sea beat the drums of land
the lands are plate drums
the sea drums
shakes us through our soles

Sonata in C minor, K. 40 - Domenico Scarlatti - Pieter-Jan Belder
in imitation of another's manners
theater of being
mimics and coerces
Symphony in D Major (#2) - Jean Sibelius - London Symphony Orchestra, Colin Davis
his ways
to count 3
to meter 3
That tune is such a diva!
If there are scenes they move.
not scenery, but that too
and all within the path of the melody wheresountowhere'ere it goes
(nice job on the timps back there!)
somewhere between Duck Dodgers and Alberich
a composer who, as a theater manager keeps intricate track of his props
entry through the gates triumphal and pomp and there are the crowds and there the streamers
Daddy's home.
granular melodic synthesis
(one of the great tuba parts of all time)
nationalistical, natürlich

Where Are The Snows? - Harvey Schmidt - Mary Martin, Robert Preston [from I Do! I Do!]
is an interesting question, considering they wonder nightly and twice if there's a matinee
Dead End - Dead Kennedys [from Plastic Surgery Disasters/In God We Trust]
2-bit even among the sophomorics
Assembly Rechoired 7 - Karen (Meyer) Eisenbrey, Keith Eisenbrey [September 1986]
We had some technical issues, but this is the first tape we made in the big Greenwood House whereintowhich Karen and I moved just before we got married.
mountain dulcimer and penny whistle
(there, I fixed the missing channel)
on my part mostly obsessively noodling on small instruments - penny whistle & monochord - perhaps in an attempt to feel comfortable with them
funmaker in a new space
domestic: music made within house life

Once - Pearl Jam [from Rearviewmirror]
too much Bono in this one for my taste
the song is packed to the point of homogeneity
Dona nobis pacem - Johann Sebastian Bach- Atlanta Symphony and Chorus, Robert Shaw [from Robert Shaw Master of the First Art]
slow tempo nearly inert fiddly bits clarify their function without giving away their destination, which simply arrives because there it is
Banned Rehearsal 709 - Karen Eisenbrey, Keith Eisenbrey, Neal Kosály-Meyer [October 2006]
one is not articulate upon a device
it doesn't pay to pretend to be
and if:
one is articulate, in some or any sense, upon a device
it does not pay to pretend not to be
however:
it is not a simple nor quick task
to discern which you may be upon any given device
so:
one makes the attempt in good faith
with ears open
so that:
the benefits of sticking with it long enough to discover something
emerge resplendent
The Memory of All That - Benjamin Boretz - Megan Berti, mezzo-soprano; Zuzanna Szewczyk Kwon, piano [from Open Space 31]
the doubled struggle of
finishing a word
and sounding an interval
the tempo of the argument
as it destroys
its erstwhile subject
the piano sounds are a posture
within the stating voice
Half a Bus Closer to Home - St. Rage [at the Common Good Cafe August 2016]
"Carol Anne would have been ready to go." (Karen to Neal, who was tuning the guitar again)
In Session at the Tintinabulary

Banned Rehearsal 988 - Karen Eisenbrey, Keith Eisenbrey, Aaron Keyt, Neal Kosály-Meyer
On the porch as the September evening darkens and quietsAaron warblers his warbler
