There is style and then there is mood

[jon zingale]

I spent the working day listening to Arvo Pärt and now I am experiencing a not unfamiliar experience. Voicings relegated to the back of my mind auto-hallucinate music not in the style, but in the mood of Pärt. There is no particular melody or theme but instead simply, and non-specifically, a feeling. If pressed to denotationally represent the experience, I would find the direct translation to tintinnabuli, to arpeggiated tonic triads, and counter-stepwise diatonic motion. Such a representation, however, would be secondary to the actual experience, to the experience of wistful longing, endless expanses; the intensity of all-consuming and stoic loneliness. What is this that I produce?

It's funny how minor events change ones priorities.   Once in Santa Fe I had a leak in the roof and it ruined my nice stereo.   Stopped paying much attention to music then.   Anyway, I see they've got a menacing airship in that cover art.   Sergey Brin is hiring:  https://www.ltaresearch.com/careers/hydrogen-program-manager/
