A Transparent Summer MorningBy: Walt WhitmanI mind how once we lay, such a transparent summer morning;How you settled your head athwart my hips, and gently turn’d over upon me,And parted the shirt from my bosom-bone, and plunged your tongue

Prehistoric Grasshoppers

May 6th, 2020 2m 36s

Grasshoppers

Apr 27th, 2020 2m 56s

Arpeggiations in a G minor theme, the start of a march, then an accelerando to a higher level of energy. All this while a curtain of deep resonant flanged noise slowly rises and falls in sensuous sinusoidal fashion. A stab at 6/8 meter, then

Mid Night Reflections

Apr 27th, 2020 2m 13s

Musically thinking about my day. The morning started off with a bang in F major. I went out for a walk in the afternoon. Things got rather contrapuntal but that's just me thinking too much. Took a deep breath and looked at the birds. Calme

COVID-19 Bathrobe Special continued and Interrupted

Apr 25th, 2020 3m 22s

Things are going fine and then I have a surprise visitor! My housemate wants a ride down to the garage. Life intervenes. My life, like your life, is interrupted by other priorities. Art will just have to wait.

Happier Fanfares

Bamboo In The Rain: Part Two

Apr 25th, 2020 5m 43s

My mind goes wandering in Chinese gardensWhere sacred lotus flowers bloom in vainI'll never see or touch those crisp, white blossoms,Nor thrill to rustling bamboo in the rain.They say the secrets hidden in thick bushesCan only be revealed

Bamboo In The Rain: Part One

Apr 25th, 2020 6m 6s

No one can tell what's hidden in your gardensThat only emperors may fathom joyfully.I lie here on an ordinary meadow.My answer here, too close to really see.My mind goes wandering in Chinese gardens,Where sacred lotus flowers bloom in vain

Mystic Harmony: Part Two

Apr 25th, 2020 4m 51s

No poem for this one. What happened? How did I get into this strange night club and what's wrong with that bass player? I try one door after another, dreaming of my escape. There are strange robots dancing together in this room. Do

Grandeur: Part Two

Apr 25th, 2020 8m 46s

Childish simplicity. Some bells reminiscent of my years playing Saron in the gamelon. Now a new diversion. There a new path.Nearly understood phrases underscore bells. Lydian harmonies, raised 4ths, mellotron swells and soaring sounds of v

Picture Impressions: Symphonic Escapades

Apr 25th, 2020 5m 37s

Russian winter is setting in. Another shot of Vodka called for at once. The cavalry gallops over the Steppes, Cossacks with their swords out as brass, strings, and percussions rise to the challenge. More Mussorgsky chords ensue, then a chain

Picture Impressions: Swans On The Lake

Apr 25th, 2020 2m 55s

Modest Mussorgsky pulls Claude Debussey out of the lake. The swans look on with bemused superiority, hissing and shaking their heads. It all ends well enough with a picnic lunch and a concluding ascending F major arpeggio.
