an intermission, if I may.
This week we had to say goodbye to our dog Max. He was 16, an ancient elder for his mix of breeds, daddy to seven pups, including Jack and Rory who are still with us, and companion to his sister Sky.
my brother Rob is also mourning Max this week from afar, please give his song a listen.
Early in the week my good friend and chosen-family-brother, Josh, aka JWH, asked me to make him a little space drone for his track this week. In typical fashion I ended up recording something twice as long and four times as complicated as necessary, recording live off the modular+friends, and mixing in DAW before sending it along.
Right about when things started getting not good with Max, Josh graciously asked if we could collaborate this week - and he took my space-drone and added his words, vocals, guitar, bass and magic, to create something truly wondrous and beautiful.
Thank you again, Josh - we made something so beautiful and wondrous I honestly never imagined I'd make in my lifetime. It's amazing. This was a wonderful thing to create together during one of the most difficult weeks of my life.
Please go visit Josh's entry for our song and comment there: brother can you hear me. The work and soul and joy and imagination and beauty he put into this song is the stuff of dreams, absolutely wondrous. I am honoured and humbled to work with him, it was a dream made real.
And thank you to everyone for their kind words and support these last few weeks. The community on WB is amazing.
The Pulsar Suite continues next week with part four - and we'll end the year of WB with the fifth and final part. Meanwhile, I hope you find some peace and solace in our song this week, like I have.
