NEW MUSIC EVERY DAY

The Mirror


Some ideas that once again could all be fleshed out much more, and I would want them to be. I think I struggle with the completion thing and it's okay that my month of music submissions aren't complete pieces. The lazy artist within needs there to be a pulsating deadline, the heat of which is singing her eyebrows, for the ideas to be squeezed out enough to be a complete piece. I mean, there is midnight every day. But still. 

I imagine this would be a movement of about 4 minutes. There would be electronic accompaniment. Maybe I'll make some recordings for it tomorrow. Oh there are lyrics missing at the top of page 2. They should be fairly guessable... (lazy lazy)

Unto whatever face of things we turn 
The mirror, things of form and hue the same 
Respond.

- Lucretius, On the Nature of Things, Poem IV

  1. Omg be still, my heart. I feel like I've witnessed a piece of time, out of its place. What a privilege!

    I'm fairly certain I can imagine precisely how this sounds, and I love all the little crafted solos (my fav is Andrew's)

    Also, a wineglass tone! I shall be unrepentant in my use of that

  2. Oh Andrew :') Thanks so much! There will be many more little crafted solos. Ideally mirroring each other - tonally of course. I'm not ready for exact mirroring... yet.
