Welcome to Litsy!

This book is a great way to get to know (better) the artist, it focuses mainly on Pärt's search for innovation and inspiration, his quest for finding his musical language. The political background about how his work was impacted by the Soviet government is also interesting.
I loved how the illustrations managed to incorporate the music theme.

"In my eyes
Indisposed
In disguises no one knows
Hides the face
Lies the snake
And the sun in my disgrace
Boiling heat
Summer stench
Neath the black, the sky looks dead
Call my name
Through the cream
And I'll hear you scream again

Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain?
Black hole sun
Won't you come"

This is the first time I did automatic writing and got titles of songs. I like music so I thought that was pretty cool but I don‘t know if this means that I‘m going to be hearing these songs again. Well, I heard 2 of the songs on TV last night so probably. I‘m still trying to process what happened.

Another pick from @CarolynM 's #AuldLangSpine list. A beautiful story about the redemptive and restorative power of music, the sea, and opening oneself up to connection and the possibilities of joy.

I had a hard time getting into Bucky's story at first. I was acutely aware of an older Black man from Chicago being written by a middle aged White British dude. Some of his dialogue and POV felt stilted. Cont'd 👇

Continuing my literary journey of Neil Peart‘s writing with his third book, Traveling Music. It picks up right where he left off in Ghost Rider. Neil shares his experiences driving to Big Bend, talks about the music he was listening to, and opens up about the stories that came to mind during his trip. 🚗

Just leaving this here, for anyone who needs it today.

This has become our morning routine. This morning (Steve Reich) was the first time I didn‘t want to listen to multiple recordings of the say‘s selection. Oh well, tomorrow is Shubert. @AnnCecilie

I got this email from Taylor Bradshaw inviting me to his private discord group and here, I‘m showing my response to the email and his response. I‘m nervous about it. I‘m a very quiet person. I don‘t know if I‘m going to have anything helpful to contribute to his music project or if I‘ll be saying very much during the Zoom meetings. I don‘t know if this will be the right fit for me but I‘ll try it out and see.
