that is the name of the dance company that belongs to an old friend of mine. I am going to be doing some music for them in a couple weeks time. The choreographer asked for a drone - one that changes color and texture about half-way through. I have been daydreaming about that lately. What will the voices be? What will the performance look like?
The assignment is well-timed and fortuitous, as I am just really into droning sounds during this entire period of my life. I can listen to the fanning of water outwards over granules of sand for a long time. The lilting whisper of winds over and though mountains and high hills is the same. Constant yet so ephemeral. Dynamic and static. Cacophonous and soothing. The tympanic membrane flutters in and out like a hummingbird, changing its pulse imperceptibly.
been listening to lots of neurosis in preparation for the project. man i love that band. they are at once so original, dynamic, and utterly crushing. Check out the first three mins of this song from 'the sun that never sets'
hopefully music of my own will be forthcoming. it is nice to be surrounded by people that are so damn busy making art. inspires you to do the same, even when you are juggling a million other things. Don't let the pilot light go out on your creative voice.
