NPR had a cool piece on composer David Morneau. If you follow the link you can listen to the story and a few pieces of his music. Basically he he set out to create 60 seconds of music a day for an entire year. He somehow succeed. OK, digging out garage band samples and the Amen Break might be a little cheap but it had to be hard just due to the nature of life if nothing else.
Once I get settled I want to try something similar only more like a piece of music a week. I have no trouble starting it is finishing that is the problem. I will give it a go when I able.
These pages have been somewhat neglected but that should change. The last two weeks have been a mad scrambled as I moved half way across the country. It is a good thing to shake things up once in a while. I feel like I have escaped from a rut.
Driving a cross country maybe a less of a common occurrence do to rising gas prices(I was thrilled to pay $3.69 imagine.) It was kind of a hassle but good to be reminded of the the the vast an diversity of the country in which I live.
Three days of Road Trip Music was not a bad thing either (though I did forget the banjo music for the drive through the Ozarks.) Road Trip Music seems to be produced less and less often these days. That does make sense through. The road trip is becoming a less common experience in modern America. We travel across the country at 30,000 feet more often or travel my road in SUV’s with DVD players. Jumping in the car with the big V-8 with the stereo blasting with the windows rolled down is a less common experience that has for environmental, economic and demographic reasons become less romanticized. So it is less written about. With oil prices sky rocketing it might become even less common.
It is to bad. The driving song might be relegated to a pleasant myth like Route 66. Long live Radar Love.
No if someone could write unpacking music.
