A month long text and audio blog about the creation of 28 new pieces of "art music" in the twenty-eight days of February by composer & conductor Robert Ian Winstin.
You have certainly captured the sadness and instability of the patient while creating a beautiful piece of music. Its haunting and powerful.
ReplyDeleteWow ... this is really remarkable. I really am very impressed with this piece. Wonderful!

How tragic and melancholy. At first I was intrigued by the clock ticking - then it really started to get to me as I strained to listen to it. (Which i think might be the very idea?) Then, at the end, I found it almost normal.

What a fantastic image - broken calla lilies. Could anything be more appropos than the image of a traditional flower broken in half?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful piece of music. This is something that has a lot to say.

Greetings from across the pond. I was tuned out for a few days and I found I missed this blog a tremendous amount. What a wonderful piece of music. I quite agree with Stephen about the clock ticking - I think that it serves as almost an emotional mortar to keep the schizophrenic idea to the fore. Amy ... you are exactly right about the powerful image of a broken wedding flower and all that this image signifies.
ReplyDeleteWell done!

Quite right all of you! I found the music mesmerizing.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done!
It was incredibly disturbing - but in a good way. I agree about the image of the broken lilies. Like a broken spirit.
ReplyDeleteYou made schizophrenia almost a tangible thing - if that's possible.
