Floating …
Spending the week in SF studying, resting up and getting healthy, and preparing for a busy spring. A staggering amount of music seems to be floating in my head right now: Gluck, Walter Piston, Mussorgsky, Dutilleux, Shotakovich, Berlioz, Beethoven, Barber, and there’s more I need to pick up.
A little surfing can really calm all of that down, which is a good thing. The music of the ocean distracts me from the music in my head. Out in the waves, I’m reminded about something Buckaroo Banzai once said: “Wherever you go, there you are.”
Also, a little palate cleansing between composers is a must. Rock, Electronica, Dub.
Right now, I’ve been checking out the Bedroom Community website for some fresh sounds, and the new Arcade Fire album is giving me some major chills. Could they be the next great band?
