I spent most of the day engaged in the politics of procrastination. It funny how the act of reading the news and worrying yourself about world affairs qualifies as distraction. I also began to think about composing a sound score for Jennida as a Christmas present. I wanted it to be the equivalent of an extravagant pop song that had many parts and sections so I spent a great deal of time listening to pop songs on Youtube just to get me in the mood. After much meditation and consideration I set out to produce the sound constructed version of a pop song. Normally I do not have a big draw to “pop” but I can appreciate it. Most of it reveals itself to me in the production. The individual singer isn’t the concern usually as they are easily replaceable. Rather the singer is the outward manifestation of the producer, as is the other parts of the song. Each has its place and timing and are inflicted with much thought. I may not have produced a sound art pop song, worthy of Barry Gordy, Al Jorgenson, or Trent Rez-ner, but I am satisfied that it carries me to places that are congruent, different and nuanced to the ear and brings pleasure. Not bad for a days work. Look to listen to it soon in bite sized morsels.
