Otherwise known as the 'opus'. This song was my life for a good year. Left forgotten in the dusty hills of Santa Fe. This is pretty much the A section :)

This is from years ago, living in santa fe. I loved driving around in my little 1980s toyota corolla and listening to cassettes. I loved the way they sounded. So I took a piano song I was working on, recorded it to cassette, dragged mic…

I can fully realize the vision of you nestled in your vinyl houndstooth patterned bucket seat surrounded by 7 ashtrays. The stereo was most likely worth more than the automobile. I now miss my Nissan, which I thought would never happen. Thanks for a great trip back in time!

Where, exactly, is that fast-forward button located? Man, I could use that on some of the conversations I suffer through everyday...

I used to be into interviewing folks I knew about anything and everything, just to get "good source" for audio experimentation. I was very much into making pieces using plain spoken voice, and was (and still am) very fascinated with the effects…

There’s something to be said about dragging a song that has been a bit of a nemesis to you, for over a year, out to *your turf* to give it another listen. To a faithful car that you have known for many years, and inside of whom you have listened to many songs - over a speaker system that you have memorized. I know what you are doing. You aren’t finished with this piece yet, so you just keep looking and looking. It kind of reminds me of gold-mining in a way: if you quit digging you can’t strike the mother lode.

After several more listens my enthusiasm for this piece is undiminished. Not to take anything away from the rest of it but the section from 5:00 to 8:21 is as good, interesting, and moving a piece of piano music as I have ever heard. I'd love you to transcribe this piece so I could have a go at playing it and, who knows?, maybe we could duet one day!
