logos ... moonlight ....
jupiter rising ...
like Rickie Lee Jones said on her Ghosty Head album; "sometimes i forget to look at the sky ..." - but not last night - though it wasn't completely full till this morning, last night's moon lit up up the countryside with shades of silver-blue like only Luna can do - and it appears so quiet, peaceful, and still up there - from here ...
i've been plodding along on some of the larger pieces - left over from the 'outdoor painting season' ... they definitely take on a different tempo and rhythm when they're moved inside - more deliberate - kind of like doing overdubbing when recording - looking for the 'right' notes - considered, but not contrived ... it allows me to understand the frenetics of some of the discoveries made during the outdoor improv/painting sessions ...
'rising' is the music [or soundscape] that'll accompany the painting 'jupiter' that i'm working on - as is usually the case with this sort of muse'ic - "i know what i want when i get there ..." - it's another collage of modal shifts augmented with tonal contrasts and 'natural' sound - in this case, excerpts from Voyager's recordings of solar wind around jupiter - perhaps i'll get there today ...
painted and music'd all day - "Jupiter - Rising" is now on youtube ...
bitter cold outside, but i might still get time for a walk-about - maybe the clouds will clear for the moon ...
