learning the pink guitar

By sad_infamy_sings on May 29, 2022 4:18 am

I found some strings that sounded nice and went with it! I practiced getting the feel for the part over the week, and ended up adding some vocals by accidently getting it stuck in my head and singing it in the car today. So, I decided to incorporate them anyway, even though I just meant for this weeks to be just guitar.

Very cool, kind of feels like the time of music to play in front of a bonfire in a desert at nighttime. I enjoyed the singing, makes it very evocative.

this song is very wistful - i hope you get some good rest

good=making heart

Really strong work -- I think you're onto something w/ the single-instrument focus. (And no, voice is not cheating, imo).

I've been thinking for a while about art making in our present age where we drown in content. I love everything about your quote, particularly the brevity and precision of it.

thanks! I'm glad it's working out- I really wanted to give each instrument some attention and listen to what they have to say.

yeah, the quote is something I totally feel sometimes when I talk to other artists, especially artists who have been groomed in the production system- there's this strong sense of what is "good," and not "good" that's tied up with invented concepts of value and it's relation to ones self worth. I know so many trapped in this thinking, and they take it out on themselves and others, and I just feel for them, it's frustrating and I want people to be able to break out of it and be free

I think it's possible to like both and for both to be different things. We enjoy making the music we make, but I enjoy listening to this.

This piece is so circular,I really felt like you played the guitar and the guitar played you! The guitar reacted and so did you!  You became spontaneous transmitters of each other.  As a listener I was transfixed--When you added your voice-- it was exactly what was needed-instinctual- you were aware of the right time to sing. It is a "knowing"  that the next note you sing or play is the best possible use of the fabric of time.
Musicians are Time Artists. The actual making of the music is so ephemeral--Then it is in the past, as time continues.
You are weary and it in this tiredness that sometimes the most profound layers inside us are discovered.
