Good morning, Great Unwashed of the Wasteland!
Isolation is beginning to make me have strange ideas. At midnight I was suddenly positive that I should get a synth-rig set up and start composing ambient music. I have no prior experience in this field nor any clue how I would do it even if I had ACCESS to a synth-rig, but at midnight it was so obvious that this was definitely what I should do. Hoping I have another stupid idea soon before I start looking up keyboards online…
Finally admitted to myself that I was not in the headspace to be able to read this Olga Tokarczuk novel I’d been very very very very very slowly picking away at via audiobook. I have a shelf on my Goodreads account called “on-hiatus” for such things and FLIGHTS has been moved to it. Luckily, my hold on one of the few David Sedaris books I’ve not read ME TALK PRETTY ONE DAY came in so I’m going to listen to that instead.
Speaking of listening, an old post on one of my feeds introduced me to the Holger Czukay album “Movies” and I’ve been listening to it for half my morning so far. It’s outstanding. It was recommended as a precursor to Brian Eno & David Byrne’s “My Life in the Bush of Ghosts” album, so if you’re a fan of that work then this is completely worth checking out.
One other musical recommendation before I leave you today: One of my favorite ambient artists SILENCAEON released a new album yesterday and it’s FANTASTIC.
Currently Playing: Oscar Peterson Trio – “Night Train“
